The construction is shorter than English and very common at menus, price tags, and shop windows. The preposition <em>da<\/em> means &#8220;worth, of the denomination of&#8221;. It is different from <em>di<\/em> (which states a value as a property: <em>un valore di 50 euro<\/em>) and different from <em>per<\/em> (which marks the price actually paid: <em>l&#8217;ho pagata 200 euro<\/em>). Once the pattern clicks, you will read Italian menus and listings the way locals do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This B1 guide walks through the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> pattern, from a 5-euro pizza to a 500-thousand-euro flat, with banknotes and idioms on the way. The dialogue takes Pamela and Gioele to the <em>porto canale<\/em> in Cesenatico, where every restaurant board, every fish counter, and every gelato tub carries a small <em>da<\/em> attached to a number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end you will know when to reach for <em>da<\/em>, when <em>di<\/em> is the right call, when you need no preposition at all (with <em>costare<\/em>, <em>pagare<\/em>), and how the same shape extends to banknotes, idioms, and even big-ticket figures in the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-toc-daprice\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Cosa impareremo oggi<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc46\ud83c\udffb Jump to sections<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#what\">What italian da for price really tags<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#menu\">On the menu: una pizza da 5 euro<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#price-tag\">In the shop window: una giacca da 200 euro<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#big-ticket\">Big-ticket figures: cars, flats, robberies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#banknote\">Banknotes and coins: una banconota da 50<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#da-vs-di\">Da vs di: where learners slip<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#da-vs-per\">Da vs per vs no preposition with costare and pagare<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#idioms\">Idioms: pezzo da novanta, roba da poco<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#mistakes\">Three common mistakes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#dialog\">Dialog: lunch at the porto canale<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#mini-challenge\">Mini-challenge<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#related\">Related guides<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#quiz\">Quiz<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what\">What italian da for price really tags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk past the chalkboard of a small <em>trattoria<\/em> in Cesenatico and you will see the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> pattern in the first line: <em>men\u00f9 pesce da 28 euro<\/em>. The <em>da<\/em> hooks the number to the noun and says &#8220;this thing is worth that much&#8221; in one quick breath. The same shape works for a 5-euro pizza, a 30-thousand-euro car, a 200-thousand-euro robbery in the news. The thing on the left is the object; the number on the right is its monetary tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one slice of a wider pattern. The preposition <em>da<\/em> can mark what a thing is intended for (<em>una macchina da scrivere<\/em>, a typewriter), a typical trait (<em>occhi da bambino<\/em>, child-like eyes), a role (<em>vestita da pirata<\/em>, dressed as a pirate). The <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> use is a focused case of that wider sense: instead of &#8220;intended for&#8221; or &#8220;of the type&#8221;, you read <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> as &#8220;of the denomination of, worth&#8221;. The Treccani entry on <em>da<\/em> lists it explicitly as <em>complemento di prezzo o stima<\/em> and gives the example <em>un cellulare da 50 euro<\/em>: exactly the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> pattern you will hear at the bar, at the cash register, and on the news.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vorrei una pizza margherita da 6 euro, per favore.<br><em>I&#8217;d like a 6-euro margherita pizza, please.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hanno comprato un&#8217;auto usata da 6.000 euro.<br><em>They bought a 6,000-euro second-hand car.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Al telegiornale parlano di una rapina da 200 mila euro.<br><em>The news is talking about a 200-thousand-euro robbery.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three different worlds, one preposition. Whenever you can paste the English &#8220;worth X&#8221; or &#8220;of X&#8221; onto the noun, the Italian version is almost always <strong>noun + da + amount<\/strong>: that is the spine of <strong>italian da for price<\/strong>. Keep that shape in mind for every example below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"menu\">On the menu: una pizza da 5 euro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food prices are where most learners meet the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tag for the first time. At a <em>pizzeria al taglio<\/em> the slices are stacked above hand-written labels that read <em>marinara da 3 euro al pezzo<\/em> or <em>pizza al tartufo da 18 euro<\/em>: textbook <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> in action. The waiter then refers to them with the same wording: <em>vi consiglio la napoletana da 8 euro<\/em>, &#8220;I recommend the 8-euro napoletana&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prendiamo due margherite da 6 euro e una bottiglia di acqua frizzante.<br><em>Let&#8217;s have two 6-euro margheritas and a bottle of sparkling water.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il men\u00f9 turistico da 25 euro include antipasto, primo e dolce.<br><em>The 25-euro tourist menu includes a starter, first course and dessert.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Vorrei un fritto misto di pesce da 22 euro, grazie.<br><em>I&#8217;d like a 22-euro fried seafood mix, thanks.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Un caff\u00e8 da 1 euro e mezzo \u00e8 ormai standard al bar.<br><em>A 1.50-euro coffee is standard at the bar by now.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hanno un cono gelato da 3 euro con tre gusti compresi.<br><em>They have a 3-euro cone with three flavours included.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two small notes on the punctuation that matter when you use <strong>italian da for price<\/strong>. Italian uses a comma for decimals, not a full stop: <em>1,50<\/em>, not <em>1.50<\/em>. And the price almost always sits to the right of the noun, never before it: you say <em>una pizza da 5 euro<\/em>, never <em>una 5 euro pizza<\/em>. English happily piles &#8220;5-euro&#8221; on the left of &#8220;pizza&#8221;; Italian sends the price to the back with <em>da<\/em> in front, in the classic <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> shape.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-daprice-1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task #1.<\/strong> Add <em>da<\/em> + price tag to each noun the way an Italian waiter would.<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>una pizza diavola, 8 euro<\/li>\n<li>un piatto di spaghetti alle vongole, 14 euro<\/li>\n<li>un tiramis\u00f9 della casa, 6 euro<\/li>\n<li>una bottiglia di Sangiovese, 12 euro<\/li>\n<li>un men\u00f9 del giorno, 18 euro<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Show answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>1. una pizza diavola da 8 euro \u00b7 2. un piatto di spaghetti alle vongole da 14 euro \u00b7 3. un tiramis\u00f9 della casa da 6 euro \u00b7 4. una bottiglia di Sangiovese da 12 euro \u00b7 5. un men\u00f9 del giorno da 18 euro<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price-tag\">In the shop window: una giacca da 200 euro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Move from the table to the shops along the <em>viale Carducci<\/em> and the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tag shows up on price labels and in customer talk. A jacket worth \u20ac200 is <em>una giacca da 200 euro<\/em>; a pair of leather sandals at \u20ac80 is <em>dei sandali da 80 euro<\/em>; a beach umbrella at \u20ac45 is <em>un ombrellone da 45 euro<\/em>. Compliments and complaints use the same <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> shape: <em>\u00e8 una borsa da 400 euro!<\/em>, &#8220;that&#8217;s a 400-euro bag!&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Si \u00e8 comprato una giacca da 200 euro per il matrimonio.<br><em>He bought himself a 200-euro jacket for the wedding.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ho visto delle scarpe da 80 euro al mercato del mercoled\u00ec.<br><em>I saw 80-euro shoes at the Wednesday market.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Un orologio da 500 euro non \u00e8 in fondo un grande regalo, oggi.<br><em>A 500-euro watch isn&#8217;t really a big gift these days.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Una bici elettrica da 1.500 euro mi sembra ancora cara.<br><em>A 1,500-euro e-bike still seems pricey to me.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice that even when the price is high, the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> structure stays identical. Italian does not switch to a different preposition for round figures or for big numbers. The only thing that changes is how the number itself is read: <em>1.500<\/em> in Italian writing means &#8220;one thousand five hundred&#8221; (the dot is a thousands separator), not &#8220;one point five&#8221;. An e-bike <em>da 1.500 euro<\/em> costs one thousand five hundred euros, not one and a half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"big-ticket\">Big-ticket figures: cars, flats, robberies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Treccani vocabulary gives the textbook case <em>un cellulare da 50 euro<\/em>, but the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> construction stretches to the largest numbers Italians ever read in a newspaper. <em>Una macchina da 30 mila euro<\/em>, <em>un appartamento da mezzo milione<\/em>, <em>una rapina da 200 mila euro<\/em>: the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tag handles them all without flinching.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Si sono comprati una macchina nuova da 30.000 euro.<br><em>They bought themselves a new 30,000-euro car.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Vendono un appartamento da mezzo milione vicino al porto canale.<br><em>They are selling a half-million-euro flat near the canal port.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Una rapina da 200 mila euro in centro a Forl\u00ec, dice il telegiornale.<br><em>A 200-thousand-euro robbery in central Forl\u00ec, says the news.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hanno firmato un contratto da due milioni di euro per cinque anni.<br><em>They signed a two-million-euro contract for five years.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two patterns are worth filing away. With <em>mille<\/em>, Italians often write the number in figures (<em>30.000<\/em>) but say it as <em>trentamila<\/em>; in journalism you also see the hybrid <em>30 mila<\/em> with the word spelled out for readability. With <em>milione<\/em>, the number is always followed by <em>di<\/em> + noun: <em>un contratto da due milioni di euro<\/em> (the <em>di<\/em> belongs to <em>milione<\/em>, not to the price tag). The <em>da<\/em> stays out at the front, doing its quiet tagging job.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-focus-daprice-mille\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd0d <strong>Two thousands, one tag.<\/strong> Write the number out or in figures, the <em>da<\/em> in <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> does not change. <em>Un orologio da duemila euro<\/em> equals <em>un orologio da 2.000 euro<\/em>. With <em>milione<\/em> and <em>miliardo<\/em>, remember the extra <em>di<\/em> with a following noun: <em>un palazzo da tre milioni di euro<\/em>, never <em>tre milioni euro<\/em> alone.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"banknote\">Banknotes and coins: una banconota da 50<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Money itself is described with the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tag. A 50-euro note is <em>una banconota da 50 euro<\/em> (or simply <em>una banconota da 50<\/em>, with the unit understood). A 2-euro coin is <em>una moneta da 2 euro<\/em>. A 10-euro note, in colloquial Italian, is even nicknamed <em>un deca<\/em>, a piece of late-twentieth-century slang that Treccani records: <em>Con un deca non si pu\u00f2 andar via<\/em>, from a 1992 song. The <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tag follows the same logic for these denominations as for prices: the number says what the piece is worth.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hai una banconota da 50? Devo pagare il taxi.<br><em>Do you have a 50-euro note? I have to pay for the taxi.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non ho monete da 2 euro per il parcheggio.<br><em>I don&#8217;t have any 2-euro coins for the parking.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Mi pu\u00f2 cambiare la banconota da 100 in due da 50?<br><em>Can you change the 100-euro note into two 50s?<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ho ancora a casa una vecchia banconota da mille lire.<br><em>I still have an old 1,000-lire note at home.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same pattern works for stamps (<em>un francobollo da 1,10 euro<\/em>), tokens at an amusement park (<em>un gettone da 5 euro<\/em>), tickets (<em>un biglietto da 12 euro<\/em> for a museum). Anything that carries a printed denomination takes <em>da<\/em>. The <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> family is wider than just shopping prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"da-vs-di\">Da vs di: where learners slip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most common mix-up in <strong>italian da for price<\/strong>. Both <em>da<\/em> and <em>di<\/em> can sit before a number, but they say different things. <em>Da<\/em> tags the object with its denomination (&#8220;worth X&#8221;), which is the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> shape. <em>Di<\/em> states a numeric property as a fact (&#8220;a value of X&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2705 Una pizza <strong>da<\/strong> 5 euro. <em>A 5-euro pizza (tagged on the menu at \u20ac5).<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u2705 Un anello con un valore <strong>di<\/strong> almeno cento euro. <em>A ring with a value of at least 100 euros (the value is the noun, di links it to the number).<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u2705 Una giacca <strong>da<\/strong> 200 euro. <em>A 200-euro jacket (the jacket is sold\/worth \u20ac200).<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u2705 Un guadagno <strong>di<\/strong> 200 euro. <em>An earning of \u20ac200 (di belongs to &#8220;guadagno&#8221;).<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A reliable test for <strong>italian da for price<\/strong>: if the number is a tag on the thing itself, use <em>da<\/em>. If the number is a value stated about an abstract noun (<em>valore<\/em>, <em>guadagno<\/em>, <em>prezzo<\/em>, <em>somma<\/em>, <em>cifra<\/em>), use <em>di<\/em>. So you get <em>una pizza da 5 euro<\/em> but <em>un prezzo di 5 euro<\/em>, <em>una giacca da 200 euro<\/em> but <em>una cifra di 200 euro<\/em>. The two prepositions are not interchangeable: <em>una pizza di 5 euro<\/em> sounds wrong to a native ear, almost as if the pizza is somehow made of money. The <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> rule keeps <em>da<\/em> firmly with the concrete item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the full picture of how <em>di<\/em> and <em>da<\/em> divide work across many other functions, see our dedicated guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-di-vs-da\/\">Italian di vs da: the complete guide for English speakers<\/a>. The price tag is just one slice of a wider split.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"da-vs-per\">Da vs per vs no preposition with costare and pagare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second source of confusion in <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> is the price that you actually <em>pay<\/em>, as opposed to the price tag on the thing. Italian splits these two ideas with different verbs and prepositions. The thing on a shelf gets the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tag with <em>da<\/em>; the transaction uses <em>costare<\/em> and <em>pagare<\/em>, often with no preposition at all.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tag on the menu: <em>una pizza <strong>da<\/strong> 5 euro<\/em>. <em>A 5-euro pizza.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>What it costs: <em>la pizza costa 5 euro<\/em>. <em>The pizza costs 5 euros.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>What you paid: <em>ho pagato la pizza 5 euro<\/em>. <em>I paid 5 euros for the pizza.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sold at a price: <em>vendo i libri usati <strong>a<\/strong> 5 euro l&#8217;uno<\/em>. <em>I sell used books at 5 euros each.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you get four different shapes for the same five euros: <em>una pizza da 5 euro<\/em> (the <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tag), <em>costa 5 euro<\/em> (no preposition), <em>l&#8217;ho pagata 5 euro<\/em> (no preposition, direct), <em>vendo a 5 euro<\/em> (price-per-unit with <em>a<\/em>). English collapses most of these into &#8220;for&#8221;: &#8220;I bought it for 5 euros&#8221;, &#8220;I sell them for 5 euros each&#8221;. Italian keeps them distinct, and listeners read each shape differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One curiosity: <em>per<\/em> can creep in when the focus is on the exchange itself, especially in a slightly old-fashioned register or in legal-style writing: <em>l&#8217;ho venduta per 200 euro<\/em>, &#8220;I sold it for 200 euros&#8221;. You will also hear <em>ho pagato trenta euro per l&#8217;orologio<\/em> (&#8220;I paid 30 euros for the watch&#8221;) as a use of <em>per<\/em>. Both <em>l&#8217;ho pagato trenta euro<\/em> and <em>l&#8217;ho pagato per trenta euro<\/em> are fine; the first is more common in speech, the second adds a small contractual weight.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-daprice-2\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task #2.<\/strong> Fill the gap with <em>da<\/em>, <em>di<\/em>, <em>a<\/em>, or <strong>zero<\/strong> (no preposition).<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vorrei un caff\u00e8 ___ 1,50.<\/li>\n<li>L&#8217;orologio ha un valore ___ almeno mille euro.<\/li>\n<li>La pasta costa ___ 7 euro al chilo.<\/li>\n<li>Ho pagato la giacca ___ 200 euro al saldo.<\/li>\n<li>Vendo libri usati ___ 3 euro l&#8217;uno.<\/li>\n<li>Mi serve una banconota ___ 50 per il taxi.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Show answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>1. <strong>da<\/strong> 1,50 (tag) \u00b7 2. <strong>di<\/strong> almeno mille euro (value is the noun) \u00b7 3. <strong>zero<\/strong>, just <em>costa 7 euro al chilo<\/em> (costare takes no preposition) \u00b7 4. <strong>zero<\/strong>, just <em>ho pagato 200 euro<\/em> (pagare takes no preposition); also OK <em>per<\/em> 200 euro \u00b7 5. <strong>a<\/strong> 3 euro l&#8217;uno (price-per-unit) \u00b7 6. <strong>da<\/strong> 50 (denomination)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"idioms\">Idioms: pezzo da novanta, roba da poco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tag has also produced a small family of fixed expressions where the number stopped meaning a real price and became a metaphor for importance, quality, or worthlessness. These idioms grew out of literal <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tags over time. They are everywhere in journalism and everyday speech, and they are worth recognising.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Un pezzo da novanta<\/em>: literally a 90-mm cannon shell (military), now &#8220;a heavyweight, a VIP&#8221;. <em>Al convegno c&#8217;erano tutti i pezzi da novanta della politica regionale.<\/em><br><em>All the regional political heavyweights were at the conference.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Un giocattolo da pochi soldi<\/em>: &#8220;a cheap toy&#8221;.

Wrong: <em>Vorrei una pizza di 5 euro<\/em>. Correct: <em>Vorrei una pizza da 5 euro<\/em>. The pizza is not made of money; it is sold for \u20ac5. The price tag is <em>da<\/em>, not <em>di<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mistake 2.<\/strong> Adding <em>per<\/em> after <em>costare<\/em>. Wrong: <em>La pizza costa per 5 euro<\/em>. Correct: <em>La pizza costa 5 euro<\/em>. <em>Costare<\/em> takes the amount directly, with no preposition at all. The same goes for <em>pagare<\/em>: <em>l&#8217;ho pagata 200 euro<\/em> is standard; <em>per<\/em> is optional and slightly heavier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mistake 3.<\/strong> Forgetting the <em>di<\/em> after <em>milione<\/em>. Wrong: <em>un contratto da due milioni euro<\/em>. Correct: <em>un contratto da due milioni di euro<\/em>. The <em>da<\/em> hooks the price tag; the <em>di<\/em> belongs to <em>milione<\/em> and links the million to its unit (<em>milioni di euro<\/em>, <em>miliardi di dollari<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dialog\">Dialog: lunch at the porto canale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pamela and Gioele are walking along the <em>porto canale<\/em> in Cesenatico after a morning at the beach. The chalkboards outside the fish restaurants near the Leonardo da Vinci canal are full of <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> tags; they pick one and sit down. Listen for the prepositions: <em>da<\/em> for tags, <em>di<\/em> for values, no preposition with <em>costare<\/em>. The whole conversation is one long <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> drill.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-dialog-daprice\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc69\ud83c\udffc\u200d\ud83e\uddb0 <strong>Pamela:<\/strong> Guarda quella lavagna: c&#8217;\u00e8 un men\u00f9 di pesce da 28 euro con antipasto, primo e secondo.

questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six questions about <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> come up in every B1 cohort, from reading menus to handling banknotes. The price-tag use of <em>da<\/em> central to <strong>italian da for price<\/strong> is documented in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/da\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani vocabolario entry on the preposition da<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-daprice-1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why is it una pizza da 5 euro and not una pizza di 5 euro?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Because da tags the object with its denomination (&#8216;worth 5 euros, sold at 5 euros&#8217;) while di states a numeric property of an abstract noun (&#8216;a value of 5 euros&#8217;). A pizza is a concrete item carrying a price tag, so it takes da: una pizza da 5 euro. Una pizza di 5 euro sounds wrong, almost as if the pizza were made of money. The same logic applies to una giacca da 200 euro, un caffe da 1,50, una macchina da 30.000 euro. Use di only when the noun itself is value, prezzo, somma, cifra, guadagno: un valore di 50 euro, una somma di mille euro.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-daprice-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the difference between una giacca da 200 euro and una giacca di 200 euro?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Una giacca da 200 euro is the natural way to say a 200-euro jacket: the price is tagged onto the jacket. Una giacca di 200 euro is not standard Italian and sounds wrong; if you want to mention the cost as a noun, you switch the whole phrase: una giacca dal prezzo di 200 euro, or simply la giacca costa 200 euro. Native speakers always reach for da when the noun is a concrete priced item.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-daprice-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I say l&#8217;ho pagata 5 euro without any preposition?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, and it is the most natural way. The verbs costare and pagare take the amount directly: la pizza costa 5 euro, l&#8217;ho pagata 5 euro, ho pagato la giacca 200 euro. You can also add per: l&#8217;ho pagata per 200 euro, with a slightly more formal or contractual feel. But never use di or da after costare and pagare: la pizza costa 5 euro is correct, la pizza costa di 5 euro is wrong. The amount slots in like a direct object.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-daprice-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is una banconota da 50 euro the same construction as una pizza da 5 euro?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, exactly the same. Banknotes, coins, stamps, tokens, tickets and any other piece with a printed denomination all take da: una banconota da 50, una moneta da 2 euro, un francobollo da 1,10 euro, un biglietto da 12 euro. The unit (euro) can even be left out when the context is obvious: hai una banconota da 50? In slang, a 10-euro note is called un deca, recorded by Treccani as a humorous twentieth-century coinage.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-daprice-5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What does un pezzo da novanta mean? Is it really about price?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It used to be, but no longer. Un pezzo da novanta originally referred to a 90-millimetre artillery shell (pezzo here means cannon, novanta its calibre). Today it is purely metaphorical and means a heavyweight, a big shot, a VIP: al convegno c&#8217;erano tutti i pezzi da novanta della politica regionale. The da tag for value got fossilised into an idiom for importance. Similar fixed phrases include roba da poco (no big deal) and una cosa da niente (a trivial thing), where the value tag has become a comment on worth.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-daprice-6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do I handle million- and billion-euro figures?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Same da on the outside, plus an extra di after milione or miliardo. A two-million-euro contract is un contratto da due milioni di euro, never due milioni euro. A half-million flat is un appartamento da mezzo milione (di euro implied) or un appartamento da 500 mila euro. The number can be in figures or spelled out; Italians often write 30 mila (with the word) in journalism for readability. Remember the Italian decimal convention: 30.000 means thirty thousand (the dot is a thousands separator), not thirty.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related\">Related guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three guides that pair with <strong>italian da for price<\/strong>, plus an institutional reference on the preposition <em>da<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-di-vs-da\/\">Italian Di vs Da: The Complete Guide for English Speakers<\/a>: the wider split between the two prepositions, with prices as one slice.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-da-bambino-da-giovane\/\">Italian Da Bambino, Da Giovane: As a Kid, When Young (B1)<\/a>: another focused use of <em>da<\/em>, this time for life stages.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-in-piu-in-meno\/\">Italian In Pi\u00f9, In Meno: Saying Plus and Minus (B1)<\/a>: companion B1 guide on numbers and amounts in everyday Italian.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/da\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani: voce sulla preposizione da<\/a>: institutional reference on Italian prepositions, including the price-tag use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian da for price at B1: una pizza da 5 euro, una giacca da 200 euro, una macchina da 30.000 euro, una banconota da 50.
