Is this compatible with…?
I’d like to return this.
Is there another option?
Is there a discount on this item?
How much is it?
Does it come with a charger?
Do you have this in a different size?
Can I try this on?
Thanks — that was the part I wasn’t sure about.
Would you mind saying that one more time?

Diálogo realista
Customer: Hi, I was hoping you could help me with something.
Assistant: Of course. Tell me what’s happening and we’ll take it from there.
Customer: Is this compatible with…?
Assistant: Okay. The first thing we should look at is the compatibility.
Customer: I have that. I’m less certain about the receipt.
Assistant: Yes. We normally confirm the receipt and then update the stock.
Customer: Could I check one thing? I don’t want to misunderstand the timing.
Assistant: Yes, that’s right. Once the feature is confirmed, there shouldn’t be any other action for you today.
Customer: I’d like to return this.
Assistant: It depends on the exchange. If that stays the same, the process is straightforward.
Customer: Okay. I brought the delivery too, because I wasn’t sure whether it was required.
Assistant: That would be useful. You may not need it now, but it can save time later.
Customer: Is there another option?
Assistant: Sure. The refund is simpler than it sounds; there are only two things to remember.
Customer: Perfect. I’m trying to focus on the key information instead of translating every word.
Assistant: That’s a good approach. Listen for the colour, the time or number, and the action you need to take.
Customer: Is there a discount on this item?
Assistant: For a follow-up, keep the battery somewhere easy to find.
Customer: Okay, I’ll do that. And the charger stays the same, correct?
Assistant: That’s correct. The charger stays exactly as discussed.
Customer: Could you also show me where the warranty appears? I want to recognise it next time.
Assistant: Sure. In this context, “warranty” is the detail people usually mention when they confirm the arrangement. You don’t need a long answer; a short confirmation is enough.
Customer: Great, I know what I need to do now. Thanks for your help.
Assistant: You’re welcome. I’m glad we could sort it out.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre comprar electrónica, identificá primero si la otra persona está pidiendo un dato, confirmando algo o indicando un próximo paso. Esa función te ayuda a responder incluso si no entendiste una palabra secundaria.
Confirmar es parte de una conversación natural
Si una respuesta contiene mucha información, repetí solo el dato importante con una pregunta corta. Eso mantiene el intercambio ágil y claro.
Usá bloques de lenguaje reutilizables
No memorices el diálogo completo. Elegí dos frases del bloque anterior y combinalas con vocabulario como “compatibility”, “receipt” o “stock”. Así podés adaptarte si la conversación cambia.
Errores comunes de hispanohablantes
✕ I have a doubt about this.
✓ I have a question about this.
“I have a question” es la opción natural para introducir una consulta concreta.
✕ Can you repeat me that?
✓ Could you repeat that, please?
Con repeat, lo natural es usar directamente el objeto: “repeat that” o “say that again”.
✕ I want that you check it.
✓ I need you to explain it.
Evitá copiar estructuras del español. En inglés cambian tanto la construcción como el registro de cortesía.
✕ Tell me the compatibility.
✓ Could you tell me about the compatibility, please?
Agregar could y please hace que un pedido de información suene mucho más natural.
