Qimmat ekan

It is expensive

意思

Commenting on a high price.

🌍

文化背景

In Uzbek bazaars, the first price mentioned is rarely the final price. Saying 'Qimmat ekan' is a polite way to start the 'savdolashish' (bargaining) process. It's expected and even enjoyed by sellers. While bargaining is common in markets, it is not done in modern shopping malls or supermarkets with barcodes. Saying 'Qimmat ekan' there is just a comment, not a negotiation. Sometimes a seller might respond to 'Qimmat ekan' by saying 'Siz uchun arzon' (Cheap for you) or 'Baraka bering' (Give it a blessing/make an offer). This is part of the hospitality culture. On Telegram 'Bozor' groups, users often comment 'Qimmat ekan' on posts. If many people do this, the seller is forced to lower the price in the next post.

🎯

The 'Bazaar Face'

When saying 'Qimmat ekan', look slightly disappointed but stay friendly. This is the perfect 'poker face' for bargaining.

⚠️

Fixed Prices

Don't try to bargain in stores like 'Korzinka' or 'Makro' even if you say 'Qimmat ekan'. It won't work!
