Bedeutung
Good price or opportunity.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Saldi' (sales) are a cultural phenomenon. Italians wait for months to find 'un buon affare' on designer brands. In markets like Ballarò in Palermo, 'un buon affare' is often the result of loud, friendly negotiation. Italians value 'furbizia' (shrewdness). Finding a good deal isn't just about saving money; it's about proving you are smart. Apps like Vinted and Wallapop are very popular in Italy now for finding 'buoni affari' on second-hand items.
The 'Vowel' Rule
Always use 'buon' before 'affare'. Never say 'buono affare'.
Don't be too cynical
Avoid using this for people or charity, as it makes you sound like you only care about money.
