Grammar
Ask how much does it cost
"多少钱 <duōshǎo qián>" (literal "how much money") translates to "how much does it cost" or "how much does it cost ...". When asking for the price for a specific quantity, this expression is followed by the numerical value of the quantity and then by a unit of measurement or the classifier corresponding to the subject:
(S +) 多少 钱 + Quantity + CL?
- 这种 地图 多少 钱 一张? <Zhè zhǒng dìtú duōshǎo qián yī zhāng? > What kind of card costs how much (the unit)?
(S +) 多少 钱 + Quantity + Unit?
- 香蕉 多少 钱 一斤? <Xiāngjiāo duōshǎo qián yī jīn? > Bananas cost how much half a kilo?
The adverb "still / equally" 还 <hái>
The adverb 还 <hái>, like all adverbs in Chinese, precedes the verb.
(S +) 还 + V + Object</source>
- 您 还 要 别的 吗? <Nín hái yào bié de ma? > Do you want something else (besides)?
- 我 还 要 两 斤 香蕉. <Wǒ hái yào liǎng jīn xiāngjiāo. > I also want a kilo of bananas.
