How it's used
Often used as a verb phrase by adding 緊 or 咗 to indicate the status of an item. It implies a temporary reduction in price rather than a permanent markdown. When something is marked down permanently, people are more likely to use 減價.
Examples
This shirt is on sale right now, it's a great deal.
Do you know where to buy discounted goods?

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe a person or a service, as it specifically refers to the price of goods. If you want to say something is cheap in general, use 平 instead.
