How it's used

This term carries a slightly aggressive connotation, implying a firm negotiation or a significant reduction rather than a polite request. It is often used when dealing with street vendors or in markets where bargaining is expected. In more formal retail settings, people might prefer using 減價 instead.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 殺價 in a literal sense of killing a price, as it is strictly used for the act of bargaining or discounting. Learners sometimes mistakenly use it in high-end shops where prices are fixed, which can sound rude or out of place.
