주인: 하나에 이천 원이니까 세 개 사는 게 나아요.
[ Hanae Icheon woninikka sae gae saneun gae naayo.]
O: It's 2,000 won each, so it's better to buy three.

`` 어치 [eochi]'' is used to describe the price's worth. For example, ``귤 삼천 원어치만 주세요.[ Gyul samcheon woneochiman juseyo.] (Let me have 3,000 won worth of tangerines.),'' ``얼마어치 드릴까요?[Eolmaeochi deurilkkayo?] (How much do you need?),'' ``모두 십만 원어치 물건을 샀어요.[Modu simman woneochi mulgeoneul sasseoyo.] (They purchased 100,000 won worth of the stuff.)'' Why don't you try it next time you're buying something?
