Bedeutung
A polite way to ask for the price of an item.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Ta'arof' means the seller might say the item is free. This is never literal. You must insist on paying at least three times. In Dari Persian, the phrase is very similar, but 'Bebakhshen' might be used instead of 'Bebakhshid'.
Use the spoken form
If you want to sound more like a local, say 'In chande?' instead of the full formal version.
Currency Confusion
Prices might be quoted in Toman or Rial. Always clarify which one the seller means!

Häufig gestellte Fragen
2 Fragen'Chand' is for countable things (how many), while 'Cheghadr' is for uncountable amounts (how much). For price, 'Cheghadr' is technically better, but both are used.
Yes, it is much more polite. Starting a question without it can sound abrupt or rude to a shopkeeper.
