How to Say ‘How much is it altogether?’ in Simplified Chinese
一共多少钱？
yī gòng duō shǎo qián
[ee-gong dwor-shaow chyen]
💬 Usage Tip: [一共] adds the sense of 'altogether' or 'in total,' so [一共多少钱？] asks for the total price, not the price of one item. Before [共], [一] is read (yí), so [一共] sounds like (yí gòng).
