Examples
?
What is the price of this book?
as .
Prices rise every year.
.
They sell good clothes at a low price.
In the shop you will more often ask ? than name the noun, but is what the label shows. The preposition of price is or : , . High and low prices are and , exactly the metaphor English uses. The figurative cost survives too: is "at any price". Do not confuse with premio, a prize, which English invites you to do and Esperanto keeps firmly apart.
