Arabic Word of the Day

سعر is the common word for the monetary price of an item or service. Use it when asking about or stating how much something costs (e.g., في السوق، في المتجر، على الفاتورة). ثمن is a close synonym and slightly more literary; تكلفة often refers to the cost or expense (e.g., production cost) rather than a sale price. In colloquial speech you may also hear بكم هذا؟ to ask 'How much is this?'
