Excuse me, how much is this?

Practícalo

Significado

A polite way to ask for the price of an item.

🌍

Contexto cultural

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!

Yes, it is much more polite. Starting a question without it can sound abrupt or rude to a shopkeeper.
