How it's used

It functions as a noun and is frequently paired with verbs like 賣 or 買 to describe pricing fluctuations. It is a standard term that carries no specific slang or informal nuance.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to mean the cost of something in general, as it specifically implies a comparison to a discounted or adjusted price. If you just want to ask how much something costs, use 幾錢 instead.
