Bedeutung
Asking for the price of something.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Prices are almost always fixed. Haggling is not common in stores. Even at flea markets, prices are often marked. If not, asking is fine. Prices on menus include tax and service. You don't need to ask for the price if it's on the menu. Prices are always clearly stated. Asking 'Vad kostar det?' via chat is rare.
The 't' is silent
In 'det', the 't' is never pronounced. It sounds like 'deh'.
Use 'den' for specific items
If you are pointing at a specific item, using 'den' sounds more natural to a native speaker.
