المعنى
Asking for cost.
خلفية ثقافية
In Russian markets, prices are often not displayed. Asking 'Какая цена?' is the necessary first step to bargaining, which is still common in smaller cities and traditional bazaars. In countries like Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan, using Russian to ask the price is standard in urban commerce. It's often followed by a very polite 'Подскажите' (Please tell/advise). On apps like Avito (Russian eBay), 'Какая цена?' is often shortened to just 'Цена?' in direct messages, though this can be seen as slightly blunt. In Russian business, discussing the 'цена' (price) is very direct. Unlike some cultures that avoid money talk early on, Russians prefer to know the 'цена' upfront to evaluate the feasibility of a deal.
Add 'Пожалуйста'
Always add 'пожалуйста' (please) to sound more polite: 'Какая цена, пожалуйста?'
Avoid 'Что цена?'
This is a classic 'English-brain' mistake. Never use 'Что' with 'цена'.
