Posso vedere il numero giusto?

Can I see the right size?

Pronunciación

'Giusto' — 'JOOS-to'. Two syllables, stress on first. The 'gi' = 'j' sound as in 'justice'.

Cuándo usarla

When the display shoe is the wrong size and you want to see one in your size. Before trying, always ask for the right size — display shoes may be too large or small.

Qué significa

'Vedere' = to see. Here it means 'to be shown/to see and try'. 'Il numero giusto' = the right size. 'Giusto' = right/correct. Very simple and direct.

Mini diálogo

Nota cultural

Italian shoe shop stockrooms ('magazzini') are often quite small, especially in boutiques. Staff may have to search for your size — showing patience and appreciation while they check is good Italian shopping etiquette.
