Learning Italian can feel exciting… and sometimes, a little confusing — right? 💭
Especially when you come across expressions that sound almost the same,
but actually mean something a bit different.

Today, we’re looking at one of those classic Italian pairs:
👉 “Quanto costa” and “Quant’è.”

Both are super common when you’re out shopping, ordering a coffee, or paying the bill —
but they’re not always used in the same way.

So, if you’ve ever hesitated between the two… don’t worry — you’re definitely not alone.
Let’s break it down together, step by step.

🟢 In this episode, we’ll explore the meaning, the grammar, and the usage of both expressions —
with examples and a bit of cultural context,
so you can confidently use them in real-life conversations.
