معنی
Asking about the price of an item.
زمینه فرهنگی
Prices in Italy always include VAT (IVA), so the price you are told is the final price you pay. In street markets, prices are often negotiable if you buy in bulk. Don't be afraid to ask for a 'sconticino' (little discount). There is often a different price for 'al banco' (at the bar) versus 'al tavolo' (at the table). Always check the 'listino prezzi' on the wall. In high-end fashion districts like Via Montenapoleone in Milan, prices are often not displayed in the window to maintain an air of exclusivity.
Point and Ask
If you forget the word for the object, just point and say 'Quanto costa questo?'. It's the ultimate survival hack.
Plural Trap
Don't forget to say 'costano' if you're holding a pair of shoes or multiple items!

The 'Scusi' Buffer
Always start with 'Scusi' (Excuse me) to sound polite and get the vendor's attention.
Check the Receipt
In Italy, vendors are legally required to give you a 'scontrino' (receipt). Always take it!
