What usually trips people up
- Promising to buy more and then buying one — sellers remember, and the discount you talk them into is real money out of their pocket; only ask if you mean it.
- Asking before checking the item — agree on quality and size first, because the discount conversation makes no sense if the thing doesn't fit.
- Using 个 for clothes — 件 is the measure word for garments and 个 is for objects; 买两个T恤 sounds off, 买两件 is the natural line.
