المعنى
Asking for the price of an item.
خلفية ثقافية
The currency is the Bulgarian Lev (BGN). 1 Lev is divided into 100 'stotinki'. When you hear a price like 'два и петдесет', it means 2 leva and 50 stotinki. Haggling is common in open-air markets but rare in supermarkets or malls. If you are at a 'pazar', you can try to ask for a lower price if you buy more. Bulgarians often use 'Колко е?' as a faster way to ask the price in casual settings like a small neighborhood kiosk (lavka). In restaurants, the price is usually per 100g for fish or meat. Always check if the price you are asking for is for the whole dish or by weight.
Point and Ask
If you don't know the word for the object, just point and say 'Колко струва това?'. It's 100% acceptable.
Plural Agreement
Don't forget to say 'струват' if you are holding two items!

The 'E' Shortcut
If you're in a hurry, 'Колко е?' is the local way to say it. It makes you sound more like a native.
Check the Weight
At markets, prices are usually per kilo. If you want just one piece, the price will be much lower!
