뜻
Used to describe something with a low price.
문화적 배경
The store 'Le Bon Marché' in the 7th arrondissement is a cultural icon. It was the first department store and inspired Émile Zola's novel 'Au Bonheur des Dames'. Haggling (marchander) is common in flea markets (marchés aux puces) but strictly forbidden in regular shops. In markets, you use 'bon marché' to justify why you won't pay more. Belgians might use 'bon marché' similarly, but they also use 'à bon compte' to mean getting something easily or cheaply. In many African French-speaking countries, the concept of 'bon marché' is central to the 'marché' culture where price negotiation is a social ritual.
The Invariable Rule
Never add an 's' or an 'e' to 'bon marché'. It's a rock that never changes!
Avoid 'Plus Bon'
Always use 'meilleur marché' to compare. 'Plus bon marché' sounds very childish.
