Почём


"Если бы да кабы..."

It means something like: if only...

Here are some idioms:
1.If ifs and ans were pots and pans
2.If one could know where you fall-you would spread some straw
3.If wishes were horses


Почём:

It all depends on the context. It could mean "How much?" (most likely), but there could be other meanings. Any context?
