意味
Used to ask for the price of something.
文化的背景
Always start with 'Bonjour' before asking 'Combien ça coûte ?'. Failure to do so is considered very rude and may result in poor service. In Quebec, 'C'est combien ?' is extremely frequent and slightly more common in casual speech than 'Combien ça coûte ?'. In markets (souks), 'Combien ça coûte ?' is the start of a negotiation. The first price given is rarely the final price. Prices are generally high, and 'Combien ça coûte ?' is often followed by a polite acceptance of the price, as bargaining is rare in shops.
The 'Ça' Trick
If you don't know the word for what you want to buy, just point and say 'Combien ça coûte ?'. It works for everything!
The Greeting Rule
Never forget to say 'Bonjour' first. In France, it's the 'social tax' you pay before asking for a price.
