| Did you notice how I omitted the word isto? |
| Quanto custa? |
| "How much [does this] cost?" |
| First is quanto, "how much," in this context. Quanto. |
| Next is custa, "costs" as in "this costs." Custa. |
| Custa is from the verb custar, "to cost." Custar. |
| Quanto custa? literally means "how much [this] costs," but translates as "How much [does this] cost?" |
| When asking the price of something, and it's understood what you're speaking about, for example, when asking by pointing at something, you can omit the subject. |
| This pattern is |
| Quanto custa? |
| "How much does it cost?" |
| You should be aware of this pattern, but you won't need it for this lesson. |
