Lesson Summary:

When you want to ask the price of something in Mandarin Chinese, you can use the

There are three characters in duōshǎo qián: 多少錢. The first, duō, means “many,” or “a
lot of.” The second character, shǎo, means “few.” The last character, qián, means
“money.”

Duōshǎo qián is sometimes shortened to “duōshǎo,” but this usage could be confusing
unless the context is clear.
