@kitten Both are fine, the second one being a little bit more “proper”. (Think “I’m” vs “I am”: It’s not that one is wrong, but it is clear which one would be prefered in formal writing.)

@kitten I think both are correct but the second one is more formal? But I'm not sure exactly, I'm only a native German speaker, not like, an expert 🤪

@kitten Means basically the same? ‘What does it cost’ vs ‘how much does it cost’

@dpk I wasn't sure if there were any nuances when it's something not countable by itself (like, how you don't pay for each potato but for their weight)

@kitten not personally native german speaker but they seem to me more or less the same as in other languages (except english) p.e. in catalan:
Què costen les creïlles?
Quant/Molt costen les creïlles?

Both are somewhat common and mean the same, it just seems in German it's a bit more common to use "Was" over "Wie viel"

@andrago I mean, I could see people argue how "què costen les creïlles?" is incorrect, yeah

@kitten Wie viel is a tad more formal. Both are correct and have de facto no semantic difference.

@kitten These are both correct. Usage differs per person and per region. I personally would use the first one, simply because that’s what I’m used to ^^
