뜻
To reduce the cost of goods or services.
문화적 배경
In Egypt, bargaining is an art form. You will rarely hear 'yukhfid' in the street; instead, people say 'khalli' (make it/let it be) or 'nazzil'. However, 'yukhfid' is seen on all official store signs. During the month of Ramadan, major supermarket chains like Carrefour and Lulu 'yukhfid al-as'ar' significantly on essential food items as a gesture of community support. The term 'Tanzilat' is more common than 'Takhfidat' for 'Sales' on storefronts, but 'yukhfid' is used in all formal business transactions. In the Maghreb, you might hear the French word 'Soldes' used alongside the Arabic 'Takhfidat'. In formal writing, 'yukhfid' remains the standard.
The 'Sale' Sign
When you see the word 'تخفيضات' (Takhfidat) on a window, it's the noun form of this phrase. It means 'Sales are happening here!'
Don't be too formal
In a very casual market, 'yukhfid' might sound a bit like you're reading a book. Try 'nazzil' if you want to sound like a local.

The Causative Form
Remember that the 'u' prefix in 'yukhfid' usually indicates that someone is *making* something happen. This helps you identify other business verbs.
Bargaining is Respect
In some cultures, asking to 'yukhfid al-si'r' is expected. If you don't ask, the merchant might think you're not interested in the item!

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Almost. 'Yukhfid' specifically means to lower (like a level), while 'yuqallil' means to reduce the quantity or amount. Both are used for prices.
Yes! 'اخفض صوتك' (akhfid sawtak) means 'lower your voice.' It's the same verb.
The opposite is 'يَرْفَعُ الأَسْعَار' (yarfa' al-as'ar), meaning 'to raise prices.'
Both are correct. 'Yukhfid' is Form IV and 'yukhaffid' is Form II. Form II is slightly more common in modern advertising.
You can say 'انخفاض في الأسعار' (inkhifad fi al-as'ar).
No, you wouldn't ask a waiter to lower the price of a meal. It's for shops, markets, and business.
Yes, 'يُخْفِضُ الضَّرَائِب' means 'to lower taxes.'
It means 'huge discounts' or 'massive sales.'
No, for temperatures use the verb 'خفضت' (intransitive) or 'انخفضت'.
The verb 'khafada' is used, but not with 'prices,' as the modern economic concept of 'as'ar' developed later.
