EN: how much (price)
The official opening line for any transaction in the Philippines, from the palengke to the mall. It's the question that determines if something is 'Ukay-worthy' or 'Ay, pang-mayaman.' Before you add to cart, you ask `magkano`. It's the ultimate test of your budget and your self-control.
Possibly a contraction of 'may gaano' or derived from 'mag-' + 'ka-' + 'ano'.
The most common way to ask for the price of something. While 'gaano' asks about extent or quantity, 'magkano' is almost exclusively for cost.
