Due to high inflation, 'هزینه بالا' is a daily topic of conversation. It's often used with a sigh of resignation. In Dari, 'هزینه' is used, but 'مصرف' (Masraf) is often more common for daily expenses. Tajik Persian (Cyrillic) uses 'хазина' (khazina) but often prefers 'нарخی بالا' for high prices.

Watch the Ezafe
Don't forget the 'ye' sound between the two words; without it, it sounds broken.
