뜻
Something that costs a lot.
문화적 배경
In Russia, mentioning a 'высокая цена' can be a prelude to bargaining in informal markets, though in modern malls, prices are fixed. The 'price' of the Soviet industrialization and WWII victory is a major theme in Russian education, often using this phrase. High prices in Moscow are often joked about by residents of other regions, creating a cultural divide. In Russian business, a 'высокая цена' is often used as a starting point for 'откат' (kickback) discussions, though this is becoming less common in transparent companies.
The 'Tall' Rule
Remember that 'высокий' is for prices and tall buildings, but for people, it only means tall. Never call a person 'expensive' using this word!
Case Sensitivity
When you 'pay' a high price, use 'высокую цену' (Accusative). This is the most common grammar mistake for beginners.
