Use question marks after questions, not periods. Otherwise they are all okay.

HI, thank you
Could you please clarify this for me?
Are cost and jurt synonymous here because I couldn't find them in the dictionary. Becuase in french we would use cost, but I've never heard it.
and are the questions idiomatically stated? For some reason "What does it cost to try?" and "What does it hurt to try?" make me cringe.
for hurt
can you use "doesn't" or "wou

alc24Are cost and jurt synonymous here because I couldn't find them in the dictionary.I suppose you could say they are roughly synonymous in this particular context but not in general.

Thank you Malrey
I think I will go with "hurt" as even in your link I didn't see a sentence like this "It wouldn't cost (a thing) to try. ??
What about the question please
What does it hurt to try? Is this the way you'd say it as I can't seem to find it on google or anywhere?

alc24What does it hurt to try? Is this the way you'd say it as I can't seem to find it on google or anywhere?I can see myself saying that in the right context. It's something that's much more likely to be spoken than written, which may explain your Google results.

Thank you MalRey,
Quick thing please
This is idiomatic
It wouldn't hurt to help me every now and then
This isn't though right? It's wrong to you?
It wouldn't cost a thing to help me...
It wouldn't cost anything to help me...
Could you tell me what you think, and if it is a 100 percent idimatic or if you know of a better phrase?
