意思
Asking for a lower price.
文化背景
Bargaining in Hanoi can be more subtle. It's often better to ask for a discount after a bit of small talk. Sellers might be more firm on prices than in the South. Saigonese sellers are often more direct and open to bargaining. Using 'Bớt không?' is very common and usually met with a quick counter-offer. The first customer of the day is crucial. If you are the first, you have more leverage to ask for a discount, but you should buy something to ensure the seller's luck. During the Lunar New Year, many shops have 'Lì xì' (lucky money) or special discounts. It's a great time to use this phrase.
The 50% Rule
In tourist markets, start by offering 50% of the price and work your way up. Use 'Có giảm giá không?' to start the process.
Smile and Wave
Bargaining is a social game. If you don't get the price you want, smile and walk away. Often, the seller will call you back with a better offer.

常见问题
4 个问题Not at all! In markets, it's expected. However, in modern shops with price tags, it's less common unless there's a sale.
Generally no for a single portion, but yes if you are buying many items (e.g., 10 Banh Mi).
'Giảm giá' is 'discount' (noun/verb), while 'bớt' is 'to subtract/reduce' (verb). 'Bớt' is more casual.
You can say: 'Giảm cho em 10% (mười phần trăm) được không?'
