Significado
Asking for the price of something.
Contexto cultural
In Hungarian markets, it's polite to greet the seller with 'Jó napot!' before asking 'Mennyibe kerül?'. Directness without a greeting can be seen as slightly rude. In tourist areas like Váci utca, prices are often displayed in both Forints and Euros. Always ask 'Mennyibe kerül forintban?' to get a better rate. In small villages, 'Mennyibe kerül?' might be answered with a story about the product's origin. Be prepared for a longer conversation! When asking about prices in a business meeting, use 'Milyen költségekkel kell számolnunk?' (What costs should we calculate with?) for a more professional tone.
Be Polite
Always start with 'Elnézést' (Excuse me) or 'Legyen szíves' (Please) when asking a stranger for a price.
Plural Rule
Don't forget to change 'kerül' to 'kerülnek' if you are asking about more than one thing.
