| Did you notice how I used a slightly different phrase? |
| Was kostet das? Literally means “what costs this,” but translates as "How much [does] this cost?" |
| First is was, "what." Was. Was. |
| Next is kostet, "costs." Kostet. |
| Kostet is from the verb kosten, "to cost." Kosten. |
| Next is das, "this." Das. |
| All together, Was kostet das? Literally "what costs this," but translates as "How much [does] this cost?" |
| Use this pattern when pointing at something, or if the item is understood from the context. |
| This pattern is |
| Was kostet das? |
| "How much [does] this cost?" |
| You should be aware of this pattern, but you won’t need it for this lesson. |
