المعنى
A question to ask for the price of something.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Toman' vs 'Rial' confusion: Prices are often written in Rials but spoken in Tomans (1 Toman = 10 Rials). When you ask 'In chand ast?', clarify which currency they mean. Bargaining (Chaneh zadan) is expected for expensive items. Asking 'In chand ast?' is just the opening move of a negotiation dance. A seller might say 'Ghabli nadare' (It's nothing). This is a polite way of saying 'You are more valuable than this item.' You must still pay.
Point and Ask
If you forget the noun, just point and say 'In chand ast?'. It works for everything.
The Zero Trap
Persian numbers can be tricky. Make sure you know the difference between 5,000 and 50,000 before agreeing to a price.
