Pahalı değil

Not expensive

意味

Reasonable price.

🌍

文化的背景

In Turkish bazaars, saying 'pahalı değil' is a sign of a successful negotiation. It signals to the seller that you are satisfied and the deal is closed. When a guest asks about the price of something you own, saying 'pahalı değil' is a way to remain humble and not make the guest feel uncomfortable about your wealth. Turkish students are famous for finding 'pahalı değil' spots for 'Döner' or 'Simit'. It's a key part of the 'öğrenci dostu' (student-friendly) lifestyle. On Turkish social media, 'pahalı değil' is often used in 'unboxing' videos to describe affordable alternatives to luxury brands (dupes).
