Meaning
Used to describe something that has a high price.
Cultural Background
Americans are often very direct about price. Saying 'It's expensive' is considered a helpful observation, not a complaint. In Japan, people might use 'takai' (expensive) but often soften it with 'chotto' (a little) to be polite.
Use 'too'
Add 'too' before expensive to show it's beyond your budget.
