意思
Stating that something has a low price.
文化背景
In Egypt, the word 'rakheeṣ' is used constantly in the markets of Khan el-Khalili. Egyptians often use the phrase 'bi-turāb al-fulūs' (for the dust of money) to describe something extremely cheap. In the Gulf, while 'rakheeṣ' is used, you will often hear 'rakheeṣ wa kwayyis' (cheap and good). There is a high value placed on 'asli' (original/authentic) items, so 'rakheeṣ' can sometimes be a warning of a 'taqleed' (imitation). In Morocco, the word is often pronounced 'rkhis'. Bargaining (shattara) is a cultural staple, and calling something 'ghālī bazzāf' (too expensive) is the standard way to get to a 'rkhis' price. In Syria and Lebanon, 'rakheeṣ' is used, but for a 'good deal,' people might say 'laqta' (a find/a catch). If you find something 'rakheeṣ,' you are a 'shātir' (clever buyer).
The Comparative Trick
To say 'cheaper,' just change the shape to 'Arkhaṣ.' It works for almost all adjectives of this pattern (e.g., Kabīr -> Akbar).
Avoid for People
Calling a person 'rakheeṣ' is a serious insult to their character. Use 'bakheel' if you just mean they are stingy.

Souk Strategy
When bargaining, always start by saying 'Hādhā ghālī' (This is expensive) even if it's 'rakheeṣ.' It's part of the game!
The 'Ya Balāsh' Factor
Using 'Ya Balāsh' makes you sound like a local who knows the true value of things.
