How it's used
Focuses specifically on the market value or monetary worth of an asset rather than a general decline in quality. It is frequently used in discussions about real estate, stocks, or luxury goods that lose resale value over time. Unlike general verbs for falling, this implies a financial loss or a negative economic trend.
Examples
Property prices have fallen recently, and many people are worried.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a person's social status or physical health, as it is strictly reserved for economic value. Use 貶值 for formal or academic contexts, but keep 跌價 for everyday casual conversation.
