"How much is one watermelon?"

Translation: 一个西瓜多少钱？

[MeaDish]

Is 一个西瓜多少 not OK? Is 钱 really obligatory?

Sorry, to be clear, 钱 is obligatory.

[snowpork]

钱 is not obligatory because the phrase still makes sense in both English and Chinese without 钱. The English translation would still be how much is one watermelon.

[Gabrielle145359]

yes

[DheerajBhaskar]

Why's there no 是:
I expected: 一个西瓜是多少
Duolingo: 一个西瓜多少

Isn't the same like 你的电话好吗是多少？

[danielhousley]
