A1 Expression ニュートラル

Kiek tai kainuoja?

How much does it cost?

意味

Asking for the price of an item.

🌍

文化的背景

Tipping is common in restaurants (usually 10%), but you don't tip when asking 'Kiek tai kainuoja?' in a shop or market. Haggling is a social interaction. If you buy more, you can ask 'Ar bus nuolaida?' (Will there be a discount?). On Facebook Marketplace or Skelbiu.lt, people often write 'Kaina PM' (Price in Private Message), which is a controversial but common practice. Since the Euro adoption, Lithuanians are very sensitive to 'rounding up' prices. Asking for the exact price is seen as being a smart consumer.

💡

Yes, in a very informal setting like a busy market, pointing and saying 'Kiek?' is common, but 'Kiek tai kainuoja?' is more polite.

In Lithuanian, the 3rd person form 'kainuoja' is used for both singular (it costs) and plural (they cost).

Use 'tas' instead of 'tai': 'Kiek tas kainuoja?' (How much does that cost?).

No, you can say 'Kiek kainuoja?' while pointing, and it is perfectly correct.

In a shop, no. In a social setting, it's better to start with 'Atsiprašau' (Excuse me).
