Signification
Asking for the cost
Contexte culturel
Bargaining is a social skill. If you accept the first price, the seller might actually be disappointed that the 'game' ended so quickly. In the capital, 'Necha pul?' is heard more frequently than in the more traditional southern regions. In these tourist hubs, sellers may quote prices in USD or Euros first. Always ask 'So'mda qancha?' (How much in So'm?) to get the local rate. Sometimes, if you are a guest in a home, asking the price of an item you admire is a hint that you want it. The host might try to give it to you for free ('Sizga sovg'a' - It's a gift for you). Be careful!
The Magic Word
Add 'aka' (brother) or 'opa' (sister) after the phrase to sound more friendly and get a better price.
Fixed Prices
Don't try to bargain in 'Korzinka' or 'Makro' supermarkets; they have fixed prices.
