Significado
Asking for the price of an item.
Contexto cultural
Estonians are very direct. You don't need to use long, flowery sentences to ask for a price. 'Mis see maksab?' is perfectly polite. At markets, prices are often per kilogram. If you see a number, it's usually 'eurot kilo kohta'. In many Tallinn shops, you'll see QR codes. Sometimes you scan these to see the price on your phone instead of asking. In small village shops, the shopkeeper might not have price tags on everything. This phrase is essential there.
Add 'ka' for natural flow
Saying 'Mis see ka maksab?' makes you sound much more like a native speaker. It adds a sense of casual curiosity.
Don't forget the 'b'
