Thanks, David And thanks also to you, ortholingua.

Hello Writeaway, Actually I'm getting worried about the grammatical part here? Does it makes sense to you? Don't you think there is problem with subject-verb agreement here. Besides, does "fur kosten" goes with the context? Please share your opinion.

translation: I have seen today that Villa Turka has debited 34.90 from my credit card account with the help of my credit card number. Was sind das für Kosten?
writeaway Jun 21, 2017:
Was sind das für Kosten? is the actual phrase. the question as you've asked it makes no sense. What is the problem? This really is everyday German.

neutral writeaway : your actual answer is too general imo. your adjusted/adapted answer is better but it's borrowed from others

not borrowed from others my dear, as I'm quite capable of coming to my own conclusions and I would never take someone else's ideas and put them up as my own :)
