Mall Vocabulary In English

Hey guys! It's Ariannita la Gringa and  welcome back to my YouTube channel!  

Today I'm gonna take you guys with me to go  shopping and we are going to go shopping at  

the biggest mall in my city of Cincinnati,  Ohio called Kenwood Towne Centre. This mall  

is an indoor shopping mall and that means  that all of the stores are inside so come  

along with me and let's go and learn  some shopping vocabulary at the mall

I just entered through the main entrance  of the mall. This mall has four entrances,  

but this is the main entrance. Also, it feels so  nice and refreshing to be inside the mall because  

this mall has A/C and lots of cool air to cool me  down because right now we are in the middle of the  

summer and it's scorching hot. It feels so nice to  be inside. When you walk inside the main entrance,  

to my left, the first thing that you see is a  restaurant called The Cheesecake Factory and  

they're famous for their cheesecake. Here at the  mall, they have a ton of different restaurants but  

they also have a food court which I'll show you  guys later. But, let's continue on with the video.  

When you enter the mall, you can walk up these  stairs right behind me or you can choose to walk  

up this huge ramp. And why do they have a ramp  and a set of stairs? Well they have a ramp so  

people who have a disability or people who use a  wheelchair or a cane can go down this ramp instead  

of walking up the stairs. When you go to the mall  you may know exactly what you want to buy and  

what store you want to go to. Well behind me is a  directory and it has a huge map of all the stores  

that they have inside this mall so it makes it a  lot easier for you to go shopping. This directory  

shows you all of the different sections of things  you want to buy. If you want to buy something  

specific (clothing for men) you would look at the  apparel for men. Or if you want to look at a store  

that has clothing for both men and women you will  look at the section that has apparel for men and  

women. So they have different sections like  electronics, eyewear, jewelry and accessories  

that you can see in this directory. The main  entrance leads me to the upper level. Right now,  

I'm on the upper level and this mall has two  levels the upper level and the lower level.  

There are three different ways to go downstairs  the first one is using the stairs (going down the  

stairs) and the second one I'll show you but first  you guys have to name it. So come along with me!  

I'm going to use this to go downstairs  to the lower level but first I'll give  

you three seconds to tell me what it's called...

This is called an escalator escalator and I'm  going to take you guys with me to go down.

I just went down the escalator. Now I'm on the  lower level of the shopping mall and behind me  

is the food court. As you can see, there is a sign  that says we are at the food court. So let's see  

what kind of restaurants and fast food chains  that they have here. In this food court they  

have fast food chains and local franchises at  the mall. So I'm gonna take a look to see what  

type of different fast food chains that they have.  Also, they don't have restaurants here. Normally  

the restaurants are by the exit of the mall like  the Cheesecake Factory was by the main entrance  

of the mall. So let's take a look at the food that  they have. Right here is Sbarro. It's a fast food  

chain and they sell Italian food like pizza. Here  I'm at Sbarro and they sell pizza. I wanted to  

ask you guys... How much does one slice of pizza  cost you guys in your country? Here in America it  

costs $4.99 for one slice of pizza. Do you guys  think that is cheap or do you guys think that is  

expensive? If you wanted to make it a combo with  an extra side and a drink that would be $8.99. Let  

me know if you guys think that's expensive. Let's  keep on moving on and see what other franchises  

they have at this food court. This is a local  franchise called Gold Star Chili and they sell  

a hot dog with chili and cheese on top. If you  guys saw my baseball video you guys would know  

exactly what I'm talking about and that is called  a coney. Of course, you can't miss out on ordering  

Chinese food at the mall. I think almost every  mall sells Chinese food. But, let's keep moving  

on and see what else they have. How do you call  this franchise behind me? This is called Popeyes  

and they sell a lot of chicken and their main  competitor is KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). And  

behind me are two of the most popular franchises  in the U.S. they are called Chick-fil-A and  

Chipotle. As you can see, they're pretty popular  because people are waiting in line long lines at  

the mall. Compared to the other fast food chains  these are more popular because there is a line.  

Walking away from the food court, now I'm going  to show you two different places where you can  

do your shopping. The first place is right behind  me. This is called a store. This store sells hats.  

And another place where you can go shopping  is this thing right here. What is it called?  

This is called a kiosk and this kiosk sells things  for your phone like phone cases and chargers and  

it's a lot smaller compared to a store. Now that  we've been to the upper level, the lower level,  

the food court, and you guys know the difference  between a store and a kiosk, let's keep on moving  

on and see what this mall has to offer for their  shoppers. Right behind me is one of my favorite  

stores at this shopping mall and it's called  Akira. Also, they sell clothes just for women and  

these clothes are trendy which means these clothes  are in style. And behind me are clothes that are  

pink because right now the Barbie movie is trendy.  Also, how do you call this person that is wearing  

clothes? That is called a mannequin mannequin.  And why do stores have mannequins by their window?  

Well stores like clothing stores have mannequins,  so when people walk around through the mall they  

can look at the mannequins and see wow what nice  clothes they have and maybe they can even enter  

the store and buy the things they're looking at.  Now I'm here with Tonya Malaysia and I'm gonna ask  

them what are their favorite stores at this mall.  I would say Foot Locker because I like shoes or I  

like to go to Chipotle. 'Cuz' is an informal way  of saying 'because' so the correct way to say this  

is 'I would say Foot Locker because I like shoes  or I like to go to Chipotle. I say Hollister. Foot  

Locker they be havin' alotta good stuff. 'I say'  is incorrect grammar. The correct phrase is 'I  

would say'. 'Hollisters' is not the official  name of the store. It's called 'Hollister'.  

They be havin' is informal English. 'Alotta' is  an informal contraction of 'a lot of. The correct  

way to say everything is... I would say Hollister.  Foot Locker has a lot of good stuff. And what do  

you like to do at the mall? What do you normally  do here? We like we chill. We be hanging out with  

our friends and just buying stuff. Just livin'  life. Walking around, getting food, buying stuff,  

shopping, basically just hanging out. Awesome!  Thank you guys! Now I'm at a shoe store so I'm  

going to see what they have. This is a sandal and  Birkenstocks are one of the most popular sandals  

right now because they are very comfortable for  your feet. This shoe store also has shoes like  

Converse. These are Converse. They also have  Crocs with holes in them. This is a video game  

store. Come along with me and let's see what are  the most popular video games that they have...

These video games are for the newest PS5. So,  let's see how much each game costs. This game  

costs $29.99. This video game costs $89. Would  you guys pay $89 for a video game? Let me know  

down below. This store sells pre-owned video  games so this just means that people have used  

these before and this is a good way if you have  had a video game for a really long time and you  

want to sell it to the store and now the store  will resell this video game for a cheaper price.  

This price is $14. This is definitely cheaper  compared to the newer video games. They also  

have video games for different consoles  like Xbox and I believe that these video  

games are a bit cheaper. This store also has  another console called Nintendo so they have  

a TV right here and with this controller I can  try out some of their games like Mario Kart,  

or I can play Donkey Kong or Minecraft and I  can try out a game to see if I want to buy it.  

This is a store that sells athletic gear  here they sell Nike, Air Jordan, Adidas,  

Puma, Crocs, Converse, Reebok, Champion Sony,  Timberland, and Sonetti. Now let's go inside.

These shoes are called gym shoes or sneakers  and they cost $160. This store sells athletic  

gear like sweatshirts, shorts, and sweatpants.  I'm going to see the price. This tag says $100.  

These shorts cost $70 and these sweatpants cost  $95. And this store behind me is Macy's. This is  

a department store. And what is a department  store? A department store is a large store  

located at the end of a mall. This store sells  things like clothes, perfume, cologne, cosmetics,  

home accessories, jewelry, anything you can name  of inside of a huge store so let's see what they  

have. A department store sells things like girls  clothing for little girls. They also sell toys.  

They have beauty products right here. And, if you  get lost and you need to find something they have  

signs on the ceiling. With the clothing they  have the different ages so if you're a girl and  

you're 7 to 16 years old this would probably  be your size. Inside this department store,  

they have a Starbucks kiosk just a little mini  Starbucks store in this small. They also have  

a bigger Starbucks store and that lets you guys  know that here Americans love their coffee. They  

are "coffee lovers". Are you guys a coffee lover?  Let me know down below. There are three ways you  

can move from the lower level to the upper level  at the mall. The first way is going up the stairs,  

the second way is up the escalator, and the  third way is this... What is this called?  

This is called an elevator elevator and  I'm going to move from the lower level  

to the upper level. I'm going to push this button.

I went up the elevator. Here at Macy's they  have a lot of cosmetic products and you can  

ask someone for help in case you need it.  Hi! I'm looking for a lipstick, but I want  

a pink lipstick. All right all of our options  are right here. Perfect! Thank you. There are  

two ways to pronounce the highlighted word. You  can pronounce it like 'Hour' 'Hour'. For example:  

It's my dog and your dog. It's our dog. The  other way to pronounce this word is 'Are'  

'Are'. Our dog. In America, 'Are' is the most  common pronunciation. All right, all of our  

options are right here. Now, we're on the upper  level and I found the LEGO store. So this is a  

toy store for kids or for adults so let's see  what is the most expensive Lego set inside.

I wasn't allowed to record inside the LEGO store  (the toy store), but I found one of their most  

expensive sets of Legos (The Eiffel Tower) at  $629.99. Is that pricey? Let me know. Also, that  

price tag $629 does not include the tax. It can  get very expensive when you're shopping for items  

over a hundred dollars. Over here, they have the  Darth Vader display and that is just for display,  

but you can go inside and take a picture with it.  When I pass by this store it smells like a candy  

shop but it's not a candy shop. This store Bath  and Body Works sells things like candles, perfume,  

shampoo, conditioner, everything that would make  your house smell so good. I'm going to pop in  

the store and check out their products and smell  their candles. This is a beautiful display but it  

looks kind of weird. You know why? Because this  display is just for Halloween. Right now we are  

in the month of July. I'm recording this right now  in July and they have things for Halloween. July,  

August, September, October... We're almost  four months away from Halloween and they  

have a huge display. I'm going to smell this  candle and it's called pumpkin pecan waffles.  

It smells like a pumpkin pecan waffle. I was  making fun of all of the products they have  

out for Halloween, but I picked out something I'm  going to buy. This is a pumpkin, but it lights up  

and I think you can see a skeleton light up inside  so I'm gonna take this pumpkin and pay at the cash  

register over there. There's no one in line right  now so I'm just going to walk up to the counter.  

Now I'm going to pay with my phone using Apple  pay. The receipt is fine in the bag. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I spent $35 on a pumpkin  and that's the good thing about going inside  

the stores and checking things out because you  never know what you're gonna find or buy. If  

you're a woman you probably know what this store  is. This is Sephora and they're famous for their  

makeup products. I'm not going to go inside the  store because I'm not on a shopping spree. I'm  

not trying to buy everything in each store. I'm  just trying to walk around. Now I'm inside a  

clothing store called Abercrombie and Fitch and  I want to try on this shirt to see if it fits or  

to see if it's too small for me. I'm not sure if  I'm going to buy it or like it, but you can try  

things on at the fitting room. It's also called  the dressing room. So come along with me and  

I'm going to try this on. They have many fitting  rooms, but they gave me fitting room 107 so I'm  

gonna go ahead and try it on. I just tried on this  white shirt but I didn't like it so I'm going to  

put it back on the hanger and now I'm going to  check out another store. Now, I'm at the Apple  

Store. This is the electronic store at the mall  and it's always busy. As you can see behind me,  

there are people inside trying to buy things like  phones, iPads, tablets, computers... You name it!  

Now I'm at the other end of the mall. Behind me  are the luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci,  

and Rolex. They have a lot of security guards here  because as you guys know these luxury brands are  

very expensive and they are out of my budget.  Which means I cannot afford these items inside  

the store. Also, the furniture behind me is very  comfortable for people shopping at these stores  

and feels like luxury compared to other parts of  the mall where they have seating sections. I don't  

think I can record inside the store, but I'm going  to try to find the most expensive Gucci item. Of  

course, when I entered the Gucci store, I wasn't  able to record anything inside and when I looked  

at the shoes there weren't any price tag. That  means it was out of my budget. I'm going to go  

to this store right here called Nordstrom.  It's another department store like Macy's,  

but they have a lot of things on sale and it's a  little bit more in my budget. Now I'm at the end  

of the mall at my very last store called Nordstrom  and they have things on sale. so on sale means at  

a reduced price so I'm going to see things on sale  to see if it fits my budget. When something is on  

sale, that means it is at a reduced price. For  example, these boots right here were $170 and  

after the sale $100. You can find things on  sale like that all over the store. They have  

different brands at different tables and you can  try to find things that would fit your budget.  

And what happens if someone takes something  and walks out the store? Well that is called  

shoplifting and they have a security system right  here that prevents people from shoplifting items.  

If you walk past this security system, the alarm  will sound and the whole store will know that you  

took something from the store without paying  for that item. Okay guys! I'm finally outside  

the mall and I hope you guys have learned a  lot of shopping mall vocab inside the mall!  

I hope you guys can go ahead and give my video a  like (a thumbs up), go ahead and subscribe, and  

give me a super thanks if you like to support my  channel. Thanks to you guys, I'm able to buy this  

beautiful orange pumpkin for Halloween. I love  you guys and I'll see you guys next week. Bye!
