In some phrase books, instead of “keria” (“I would like”), it is suggested to say “kyero” (“I want”), this is less polite, so they usually don’t say that.

y – And- And. Exactly the same as in Russian. Example: “keria eso and eso” (“I would like this and that”)

cuanto vale? – kuánto bále?- what is the price? The second universal phrase for stores. By combining it with “keria eso”, you will actually become fluent in Spanish when it comes to shopping. Options: “keria eso, kuánto bále, por favor?” “Quánto bále eso, por favor?”

Otherwise, you may not be understood or understood in the way you would like.
