| Let’s look at some more examples. |
| Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers. |
| Ile to kosztuje? |
| Ile to kosztuje? |
| Ile tamto kosztuje? |
| Ile tamto kosztuje? |
| Ile kosztuje? |
| Ile kosztuje? |
| Ile kosztuje ciastko? |
| Ile kosztuje ciastko? |
| Ile kosztuje kawa? |
| Ile kosztuje kawa? |
| Did you notice how the last two speakers use a different pattern? |
| Ile kosztuje kawa? |
| Literally “how much costs coffee,” but it translates as "How much [does] coffee cost?" |
| Let’s start with ile, "how much."Ile. |
| Next is kosztuje, "costs." Kosztuje. |
| Kosztuje is from the verb kosztować, “to cost.” Kosztować. |
| Last is kawa, “coffee.” Kawa. Kawa. |
| All together, it's Ile kosztuje kawa? Literally, this means “How much costs coffee,” but translates as "How much [does] coffee cost?" |
| This pattern is: |
| Ile kosztuje ITEMnoun? |
| "How much does ITEM cost?" |
| Note: This pattern requires a noun. |
| Let’s try another. Imagine you want to know the price of a “cake,” ciastko. Ciastko |
| Ask, “How much does a cake cost?” |
| Ready? |
| Ile kosztuje ciastko? |
| How much does a cake cost? |
| Ile kosztuje ciastko? |
| You will use this pattern later in this lesson. |
