A1 Expression ニュートラル

Paljonko tämä maksaa

How much does this cost

意味

Asking for the price of an item.

🌍

文化的背景

Finns are very direct. You don't need to say 'please' (olkaa hyvä) as much as in English, but starting with 'Anteeksi' (Excuse me) is polite. Finland has a huge 'kirpputori' (flea market) culture. It's one of the few places where you might negotiate the price slightly. Finland is nearly cashless. Even after asking the price, you'll likely pay with a card or phone. The price you are told is almost always the final price. Hidden fees or taxes added at the register (like in the US) are not a thing in Finland.

💡

Use 'tää' in cities

In Helsinki, saying 'Paljonko tää on?' will make you sound more like a local.

💬

Don't haggle in shops

Fixed prices are the rule in Finland. Only haggle at flea markets or when buying a car.

よくある質問

10 問

Both are correct, but 'Paljonko' is more common and concise.

No, that would imply buying a person! Use it only for goods and services.

Use 'tuo' instead of 'tämä': 'Paljonko tuo maksaa?'.

For 'this' (tämä), use 'maksaa'. For 'these' (nämä), use 'maksavat'.

In a shop, no. In a social setting, it might be seen as nosy.

Paljonko se on yhteensä?

It's the Finnish question particle that turns the word into an inquiry.

Yes, it's very common and perfectly understood.

It also means 'to pay' and 'liver' (the organ), though context makes it clear!

In slang, you might just hear 'Hinta?' (Price?).
