"How much are the shoes?"

Translation: Viatu bei ngapi?

[TessEwing1]

I don't see why "viatu ni shilingi ngapi " would not be ok.

[MonikaZebra1]

Is that Translation correct? I would say it is either "bei gani?" or "shilingi ngapi?" But "Bei ngapi" would mean "how many Prices" or am I wrong?

[SaleneSefu]

I don't see think it is correct to say bei gani because that would translate to what is the price. In this case how much is something should be ni shilingi ngapi. I guess maybe they just mismatched answers

[Asclepious]

what is the difference between "bei ngapi" and "shilingi ngapi"?

[Melanie217796]

DL introduced shilingi ngapi as how much. Later in the lessons they brought up bei ngapi. And now all of a sudden shilingi ngapi is wrong and only bei ngapi is correct? Matter in fact shilingi ngapi is given as the main hint.

[SusanTyzac]

Sometimes Duolingo asks for shilingi ngapi and sometimes bei gani, for the same structure of question. It should accept both answers surely.
