Lucas: There you go! You just ordered a coffee with milk. Nice. Luna: And then I need to know the price. How do I ask 'how much does it cost'? Lucas: Great question. You say: ¿Cuánto cuesta? Cuesta is 'it costs'. So: ¿Cuánto cuesta? Luna: ¿Cuánto cuesta? Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice a tiny scene. You step into a café. You say: Hola, un café con leche, por favor. Then the waiter tells you the price. You say: ¿Cuánto cuesta? Luna: Okay. Hola, un café con leche, por favor. ¿Cuánto cuesta? Lucas: That's perfect. And when you're ready to pay, you can ask for the bill: La cuenta, por favor. La cuenta means 'the bill'. Luna: La cuenta, por favor. Good to know. Lucas: Let's do a full practice. I'll be the waiter. You enter. Luna: Hola, un café con leche, por favor. Lucas: Claro. Son dos euros. Luna: ¿Cuánto cuesta? Lucas: Dos euros. Then you pay and say: La cuenta, por favor. Luna: La cuenta, por favor. Lucas: Yes. And if you just want a plain coffee, it's un café, por favor. Luna: Un café, por favor. So simple. Lucas: Now let's review all four phrases.
