How it's used

Primarily used in business or trade contexts when someone provides a price estimate or a formal offer for goods or services. It carries a slightly more professional or transactional nuance than simply saying 報價. While 報價 is the standard noun or verb for giving a price, 作價 emphasizes the act of setting or determining that value.

Examples

Common phrases

作價過高

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 估價, which refers to an appraisal or an estimation of value rather than a commercial quote provided by a seller to a buyer.
