Significado
Finding out how much something costs.
Contexto cultural
Finns are very tech-savvy and often use apps like 'Hintaopas' to check prices before buying anything expensive. Similar to Finland, price transparency is high. The word in Estonian is 'hinda kontrollima', which sounds very similar to Finnish speakers. Finns living in Sweden or visiting often 'tarkistaa hinta' to see if products are cheaper across the border (nuuskakaira). In the age of QR codes, 'tarkistaa hinta' often involves scanning a code with a smartphone.
Use the App
If you are in a Finnish S-market or K-market, use their app to tarkistaa hinta if the shelf tag is missing.
Partitive vs Accusative
Use 'hintaa' if you are still looking, 'hinnan' if you have found it and are done.
