in arzan ast

This is cheap

意思

Commenting on a low price.

🌍

文化背景

In the bazaar, 'arzan' is the start of a negotiation. Even if it's cheap, a buyer might still ask for a 'takhfif' (discount). The word 'arzan' is also used in Dari Persian, but the pronunciation of 'ast' is often clearer and more formal than the Tehrani 'e'. Tajik speakers use 'arzon' (арзон). The Cyrillic script changes the look, but the sound and meaning remain identical. On apps like 'Divar' (similar to Craigslist), 'arzan' is a common search filter to find used goods at low prices.

💡

Use 'Arzoone' for friends

If you want to sound like a local, always use the 'oon' ending in casual settings.

⚠️

Avoid 'Arzan' for people

Never call a person 'arzan'. It implies they are 'cheap' in a moral sense.
