Nice Q&A, I like it!! :)
By the way, you should add ‘zai’, put the location before verb: wei shen me ni zai zhe li xue?

In English we can say something is cheap in price or cheap in quality.
Does “pian yi” work the same way?

Hi,Mary. " Pian yi" in chinese only means “cheap price” . If to the cheap quality. we would say" lian jia". thank you for your good question.

Benny, there seems to be a very little mistake in the last line under “Examples”. It says:
Zhège DVD hěn piányi.
This DVD is very cheap, too.
The word for “two” is missing in the pinyin. It is there in the chinese characters.

Hi Dr.werner Jung,
You’re correct, ‘too’ here means ‘yě’
