减价
When you hear people say 减价 (jiǎn jià), they mean to reduce prices. This verb is often used when a store wants to sell items quickly, so they cut down the original price. You might see signs in shop windows saying 大减价 (dà jiǎn jià), which means 'big price reduction' or 'sale'.
For example, if a jacket was 500 yuan and now it's 300 yuan, the store 减价-ed the jacket. It’s a very practical word to know, especially when you're shopping in China. So, keep an ear out for 减价 when you're looking for a good deal!
When we talk about sales or discounts, the verb we often use is 减价 (jiǎn jià). It literally means 'to reduce price'. You might see this on signs in stores, indicating that items are on sale.
For example, if a shop wants to clear out old stock, they might say something like '所有商品都减价百分之二十' (All items are reduced in price by 20%).
It's a very common and practical term to know, especially if you enjoy shopping!
When discussing prices in Chinese, 减价 (jiǎnjià) is a straightforward and common verb to use. It literally means 'to reduce the price' or 'to cut prices'.
You'll often hear this in shopping contexts, whether a store is having a sale or a vendor is willing to negotiate. For instance, if you want to ask if something can be cheaper, you might ask, '可以减价吗？' (Kěyǐ jiǎnjià ma? - Can you reduce the price?).
It can also be used to describe a general market trend, like when a company decides to lower its prices to attract more customers. This is a very practical term to know for everyday interactions.
§ Understanding 减价 (jiǎn jià)
So, you've learned that 减价 (jiǎn jià) means 'to reduce the price' or 'to cut prices'. That's a good start! Now, let's look at how this word is actually used in real life. Knowing the definition is one thing, but knowing where and when to expect it is another.
- DEFINITION
- To reduce the price; to cut prices.
This isn't a super formal word, but it's not slang either. It's a solid, practical verb you'll hear in many everyday situations, especially when money and shopping are involved. Think about times when prices are changing, and that's usually when 减价 (jiǎn jià) will pop up.
§ In Daily Life and Shopping
The most common place you'll hear 减价 (jiǎn jià) is when you're out and about, specifically shopping. Whether it's a small street vendor or a large department store, if prices are going down, you'll hear this term.
商店正在减价，我们去看看吧。(The store is reducing prices, let's go check it out.)
This is a very direct way to say 'the store is having a sale' or 'prices are cut'. You'll see it on signs too. Look for 减价 (jiǎn jià) written in big characters if you're hunting for a deal.
他们决定减价促销。(They decided to cut prices for promotion.)
§ In Business and Economics News
Beyond everyday shopping, 减价 (jiǎn jià) also appears in more formal contexts like news reports about economics or business. When companies adjust their pricing strategies, this word is used to describe that action.
公司为了增加市场份额，不得不减价。(The company had to cut prices to increase market share.)
Here, it's not just about a casual sale but a strategic business decision. You might hear this in a business meeting or read it in a newspaper article.
由于竞争激烈，很多厂家都选择减价。(Due to fierce competition, many manufacturers chose to reduce prices.)
This shows the consequence of market pressures leading to price reductions.
§ Key Takeaways for 减价 (jiǎn jià)
To sum it up, 减价 (jiǎn jià) is a fundamental word for talking about prices going down. Here's what you should remember:
- It's very common in shopping contexts – look for it on sale signs!
- It can be used by individuals (e.g., a seller) or by companies (e.g., a business strategy).
- It often implies a temporary reduction, but can also describe a general trend of prices falling.
So, the next time you're in China and see a sign with 减价 (jiǎn jià), you'll know exactly what it means: time to grab a deal! And if you're reading the news, you'll understand why prices are changing. Keep practicing these examples, and you'll master this useful word quickly.
§ Don't confuse 减价 with other 'reduce' words
Many students get tripped up because Chinese has several words that can translate to 'reduce' or 'decrease.' But these words aren't interchangeable. 减价 specifically means 'to reduce the price' or 'to cut prices.' It's about a commercial transaction.
- DEFINITION
- To reduce the price; to cut prices.
For example, you wouldn't use 减价 to talk about reducing stress. For that, you'd use something like 减轻 (jiǎnqīng), which means 'to lighten' or 'to ease.' Or if you're talking about reducing the amount of something, you might use 减少 (jiǎnshǎo), which means 'to decrease' or 'to lessen.' They all have '减' but their usage is different.
这家商店减价了。 (Zhè jiā shāngdiàn jiǎn jià le.)
This store reduced prices.
听音乐可以减轻压力。 (Tīng yīnyuè kěyǐ jiǎnqīng yālì.)
Listening to music can reduce stress.
请减少浪费。 (Qǐng jiǎnshǎo làngfèi.)
Please reduce waste.
§ Using 减价 as a noun vs. verb
While 减价 is primarily a verb, it can also act as a noun meaning 'price reduction' or 'discount.' The context usually makes it clear.
他们决定减价出售。 (Tāmen juédìng jiǎn jià chūshòu.)
They decided to reduce the price for sale.
这次减价很划算。 (Zhè cì jiǎn jià hěn huásuàn.)
This price reduction is a good deal.
The mistake often happens when learners try to force it into a sentence structure that doesn't fit its verbal or nominal role. Pay attention to how it's functioning in the sentence. Is it the action being performed, or is it the thing (the reduction itself)?
§ Not using other common discount terms
While 减价 is correct, Chinese speakers often use other common terms when talking about sales or discounts. Knowing these will make you sound more natural.
打折 (dǎzhé): This is very common and means 'to give a discount' or 'on sale.' You'll often see percentages with this, e.g., 打八折 (dǎ bā zhé) means 20% off (you pay 80%).
促销 (cùxiāo): This means 'to promote sales' or 'sales promotion.' It implies a temporary offer.
优惠 (yōuhuì): This means 'preferential' or 'favorable,' and can be used for discounts or special offers.
这件衣服打折吗？ (Zhè jiàn yīfu dǎzhé ma?)
Is this clothing on sale?
商店正在促销。 (Shāngdiàn zhèngzài cùxiāo.)
The store is having a promotion.
会员有优惠。 (Huìyuán yǒu yōuhuì.)
Members have special offers.
§ Forgetting the object (price) is implied
Because 减价 already contains the meaning of 'price' (价), you generally don't need to explicitly state the word '价格' (jiàgé - price) again as the object. It's often redundant and can sound awkward.
商店减价了。 (Shāngdiàn jiǎn jià le.)
The store reduced prices.
You wouldn't usually say 减价格 or 减价价格. The '价' in 减价 already covers it. Just like in English, you say 'they cut prices,' not 'they cut price prices.'
By being aware of these common pitfalls, you'll use 减价 more accurately and naturally, helping you communicate more effectively when talking about prices and discounts in Chinese.
§ Similar words and when to use 减价 (jiǎn jià) vs alternatives
You've learned that 减价 (jiǎn jià) means 'to reduce the price' or 'to cut prices.' That's pretty straightforward, right? But Chinese, like English, has several ways to talk about prices going down. Let's look at some common ones and when to use them.
- DEFINITION
- 打折 (dǎ zhé): To give a discount; to sell at a discount.
This is probably the most common way to talk about discounts. When a store has a 'sale,' they are usually '打折.' It often implies a percentage off the original price. For example, 八折 (bā zhé) means 20% off (you pay 80% of the price).
这家商店常常打折。
Zhè jiā shāngdiàn chángcháng dǎzhé.
This store often gives discounts.
- DEFINITION
- 降价 (jiàng jià): To lower the price; a price drop.
This word is very similar to 减价 (jiǎn jià) and is often used interchangeably. However, 降价 (jiàng jià) tends to be used for more formal or significant price reductions, like a company lowering the price of a product line, or a stock price falling. It can sound a bit more 'official' than 减价 (jiǎn jià).
汽车公司宣布降价。
Qìchē gōngsī xuānbù jiàngjià.
The car company announced a price reduction.
- DEFINITION
- 优惠 (yōuhuì): Favorable; preferential; discount (noun/adjective).
While not a verb meaning 'to reduce price,' 优惠 (yōuhuì) is crucial when talking about good deals. It means 'favorable' or 'preferential' and often refers to special offers or benefits. You'll see it in phrases like 优惠价格 (yōuhuì jiàgé - discounted price) or 优惠活动 (yōuhuì huódòng - promotional activity/special offer).
我们提供优惠价格给老客户。
Wǒmen tígōng yōuhuì jiàgé gěi lǎo kèhù.
We offer preferential prices to old customers.
So, when should you use 减价 (jiǎn jià)?
When a specific item's price is being cut, often temporarily.
When you're generally talking about a reduction in price without specifying a percentage.
It's a good all-around verb for 'to reduce the price' in many everyday situations.
Remember, while there are subtle differences, if you use 减价 (jiǎn jià) to mean 'reduce price,' you'll be understood. The context will usually make it clear what you mean. But knowing these alternatives helps you understand native speakers better and sound more natural yourself.

When shopping in China, especially in markets, don't be shy to ask '可以减价吗？' (Kěyǐ jiǎnjià ma? - Can you reduce the price?) as bargaining is a common practice. Many stores, particularly during sales seasons, will actively '减价' to attract customers, so keep an eye out for signs indicating discounts.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenBoth 减价 (jiǎnjià) and 降价 (jiàngjià) mean 'to reduce the price'. They are very similar and often interchangeable. However, 减价 can sometimes imply a more temporary or promotional reduction, like a sale, while 降价 can be a more general term for any price drop, including a permanent one. Don't worry too much about the subtle differences at your A2 level; they'll usually understand you with either!
You can use 减价 directly as a verb. For example, 'The store is reducing prices' would be '这家商店减价'. Or, if you want to say 'They reduced the price of that shirt', you could say '他们把那件衬衫减价了'.
No, 减价 (jiǎnjià) specifically refers to reducing the price of something. If you want to talk about reducing other things, like effort or speed, you'll need different verbs. For example, to reduce speed, you'd use 减速 (jiǎnsù).
减价 (jiǎnjià) is a common and neutral word. You'll hear it in everyday conversations, in shops, and in news reports. It's not particularly formal or informal.
A very common phrase is 大减价 (dà jiǎnjià), which means 'big price reduction' or 'big sale'. You'll see this everywhere during sale seasons!
While 减价 (jiǎnjià) means 'to reduce the price', if you want to say 'discount' as a noun, you might use 打折 (dǎzhé), which is a common way to talk about getting a percentage off. For example, '给我打个折' (gěi wǒ dǎ ge zhé) means 'give me a discount'. However, 减价 can also imply a discount.
Yes, 减价 (jiǎnjià) can also function as a noun, meaning 'price reduction' or 'sale'. For instance, '他们正在进行减价' (Tāmen zhèngzài jìnxíng jiǎnjià) means 'They are having a sale/price reduction'.
You could ask: '这个商品减价吗?' (Zhège shāngpǐn jiǎnjià ma?) - 'Is this item on sale/reduced price?' or '有没有减价?' (Yǒu méiyǒu jiǎnjià?) - 'Is there a price reduction/sale?'
In some markets or smaller shops in China, especially for certain items, bargaining for a 减价 (jiǎnjià) is common and expected. In large department stores or supermarkets, prices are usually fixed. It's generally not considered rude to ask, but be aware of the context.
One common mistake is trying to use it for non-price reductions. Remember, 减价 (jiǎnjià) is strictly about prices. Another mistake might be confusing it with other words for 'less' or 'decrease' that apply more broadly. Keep it focused on 'price reduction'.
