Qimmat

Expensive

معنی

Describing high price.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Uzbek bazaars, the first price quoted is almost always 'qimmat' on purpose. It is expected that you will negotiate. If you pay the first price, you are seen as either very rich or very naive. When hosting guests, Uzbeks avoid using the word 'qimmat' regarding the food served. It is considered rude to imply that the hospitality was a financial burden. Uzbek weddings are notoriously 'qimmat.' Families often save for decades to afford the 'eng qimmat' hall and food to maintain social standing. In modern supermarkets like Korzinka or Makro, prices are fixed. Saying 'qimmat' to a cashier won't change the price, but people still say it to each other in the aisles.

🎯

The 'Ie' Factor

Always start your complaint with 'Ie' (pronounced like 'ee-yeh') to sound like a local when saying something is expensive.

⚠️

Don't be rude

In a friend's house, never call their belongings 'qimmat' as it might seem like you are counting their money.
