意思
Asking for the price of an item
文化背景
Tipping is not expected in Norway as service is included in the price. When you ask 'Hva koster dette?', the answer is the final amount. Haggling is strictly for flea markets (loppemarked) and private sales (Finn.no). Never haggle in a regular store. Norway is almost entirely cashless. You will often pay by tapping your card or using Vipps after asking the price. The 'moms' (VAT) is 25% for most goods but is always included in the consumer price.
Point and Ask
If you forget the word for the item, just point and say 'Hva koster dette?' — it works every time!
Gender Matters
Try to use 'denne' for masculine/feminine items to sound more like a native.

The 'Det' Shortcut
If you're unsure of the gender, 'Hva koster det?' is a safe neutral fallback.
Politeness
Adding 'Unnskyld' (Excuse me) before the phrase makes it much more polite.
