How it's used
Beyond literal monetary price, this term is frequently used to discuss abstract worth, such as personal principles or the utility of an idea. It carries a slightly more formal or philosophical weight compared to simply talking about money. When discussing the cost of an item in a shop, locals usually prefer using 價錢 instead.
Examples
The value of this shirt is more than one hundred dollars.
What value do you think this job has?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to ask for the price of goods in a shop, as it sounds overly formal or academic. Use 價錢 or 幾多錢 instead to sound natural.
