زمینه فرهنگی

Bargaining is a social skill. If you don't say 'terlalu mahal' at a market, you might be seen as an easy target or simply uninterested in the social aspect of trade. Politeness is key. Even when saying something is too expensive, Javanese people often use a soft tone and a smile to avoid 'membuat malu' (embarrassing) the seller. Known as master traders, the Minang people enjoy the 'art of the deal.' Saying 'terlalu mahal' is expected and respected as part of a sharp business mind. In the capital, 'gengsi' (prestige) is high. People might complain about prices in private but pay them in public to maintain their image.
