المعنى
Asking for the price.
خلفية ثقافية
In Ljubljana's central market, prices are often written on small chalkboards. If they aren't, asking 'Koliko stane?' is expected and the sellers are usually very friendly. In Slovenia, tipping is not mandatory but appreciated (usually rounding up). Asking for the price is the first step, and the bill will show the exact amount. Slovenians are very precise with cents. When you ask 'Koliko stane?', don't be surprised if the answer is very specific, like 'Dva evra in osemindvajset centov'. In rural areas, you might still find 'self-service' stands for produce with a money box. Even if no one is there, you should know the price to pay honestly.
Plural Power
Always check if the object is plural. For shoes (čevlji) or pants (hlače), always use 'stanejo'.
The 'Stane' Name
Don't be confused if you meet a man named Stane. It's a very common Slovenian name (short for Stanislav)!
