معنی

Used to describe something with a low price.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Bargaining (Choneh zadan) is expected. Even if something is 'arzan', a local might still try to get it cheaper. The word 'arzan' is used identically in Dari. In Kabul bazaars, you will hear this constantly. In Tajik (Cyrillic: арзон), the word is the same but the 'ast' is often replaced by 'ast' or 'hay'. In places like 'Tehrangeles' (LA), 'arzan' is used to compare prices between US stores and Iranian markets.

💡

Use the informal form

In 90% of conversations, say 'Arzoone' instead of 'Arzan ast' to sound more natural.

⚠️

Quality Warning

If you say 'Arzan ast' with a frown, people will think you mean 'It's low quality'.
