Bedeutung
A high cost for a product.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Uzbek bazaars, the first price mentioned is rarely the final price. Saying 'qimmat narx' is the standard way to begin the bargaining process. When hosting guests, Uzbeks often buy the best products regardless of the 'qimmat narx'. Discussing how much you spent on the guest is considered 'minnat' (reminding of a favor) and is avoided. In modern supermarkets like 'Korzinka' or 'Makro', prices are fixed. Using 'qimmat narx' here is a complaint to your companion, not a negotiation with the staff. Traditional weddings in Uzbekistan can be very expensive. People often talk about the 'qimmat narx' of holding a 'to'y' (wedding) in a restaurant.
Bargaining Power
Saying 'Qimmat narx' with a smile is more effective than saying it with anger in a bazaar.
Avoid 'Qimmatli'
Don't call a price 'qimmatli'—it sounds like you are in love with the high cost!
