A visit to the *mercato* (market) is a daily routine in Italy. This is where locals buy fresh fruits and vegetables. This roleplay prepares you to talk to a local greengrocer, ask for prices, and pay.
In Italian, to ask for the price of plural items, you ask "Quanto costano?" (How much do they cost?). To say "I'll take a kilo", Italians often use the little particle *ne* (of it/them): "ne prendo un chilo", which literally means "I'll take a kilo of them". The change you receive after paying is called "il resto".
