Whether you are renting a hotel room or picking up some souvenirs for friends, you want to know the price. In Russian, it’s easy to ask how much something costs using the phrases:
-- Сколько это стоит?
(How much is it?)

-- Сколько стоит + [nominative singular noun]
(How much is …?)
For example, Сколько стоит бутылка воды?
(How much is a bottle of water?)
42,00 руб.

-- Сколько стоят + [nominative plural noun]
(How much are …?)
For instance, Сколько стоят эти сувениры?
(How much are these souvenirs?)
150,00 руб.

Nouns after numbers in Russian
1. We use a Nominative singular noun after the number 1 and numbers that end with this numeral.
For example, 21, 61, 101,… рубль and so on.
2. We use a Genitive singular noun after the numbers 2, 3, 4 and numbers that end with these numerals.
For example, 22, 53, 74, … рубля and so on.
3. And we use a Genitive plural noun after the numbers from 5 to 20 and numbers that end with 0 and the numerals from 5 to 9.
