뜻
Something that costs too much.
문화적 배경
Dutch people are very open about money and will often complain about prices to strangers. Similar usage, but Belgians might be slightly more reserved in public. Avoid this phrase in international business; it can be seen as unprofessional.
Use with a sigh
The phrase sounds most natural when you say it with a slight sigh or a shake of the head.
Don't use for everything
Only use it for things that are unexpectedly expensive, not just for things that are naturally pricey (like a house).
