다른 색 있어요?

How it works

This phrase combines "다른" (different/other), "색" (color), and "있어요?" (does it exist?). In Korean, "to have" is expressed using the verb "있다" (to exist), making "color" the grammatical subject of the sentence. The subject particle "이" is naturally omitted here in everyday speech.

• 다른: different, other (modifier form of 다르다)
• 색: color
• 있어요?: does it exist? / is there? (polite form of 있다)

Speech Level

The '-어요' ending places this in the standard polite speech level (해요체). It is the most appropriate and common register to use with retail staff.

Pronunciation

When spoken naturally, the final consonant 'ㄱ' of '색' carries over to the following vowel, and the 'ㅆ' batchim in '있' carries over to '어'. This double liaison makes the phrase sound like [새기써요].

Notes

A polite and standard way to ask a shop assistant if an item comes in different colors.
