How it's used

Functions as both a noun for a bargain and an adjective for something being advantageous or cost effective. It is frequently used in contexts involving sales, promotions, or situations where one person gains an unfair advantage over another. When used as a verb phrase, it often implies taking advantage of a situation to get something for free or at a lower cost.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe a person who is generous, as it strictly refers to the benefit or deal itself rather than a personality trait. It is also not interchangeable with 便宜, which specifically refers to a low price, whereas 著數 encompasses broader advantages beyond just monetary savings.
