Signification
Asking for the price of an item.
Contexte culturel
In Ukraine, it is common to ask for the price directly. It is not considered rude. In many Western European countries, prices are often displayed clearly, so asking is less common than in markets. In many Middle Eastern markets, asking the price is the start of a long negotiation process. In Japan, asking the price is done politely, often with 'sumimasen' (excuse me) first.
Politeness
Always add 'будь ласка' (please) to sound more polite.
Plurality
If you are asking about multiple items, use 'Скільки вони коштують?' instead.
