How to Say ‘Cheaper/discount please’ in Simplified Chinese
便宜一点
pián yi yì diǎn
[piányí yīdiǎn]
💬 Usage Tip: [一点] after an adjective often means "a bit more…": [便宜一点] "a bit cheaper," [快一点] "a bit faster," [慢一点] "a bit slower." It's a very reusable softener when asking for a change.
🇨🇳 In China: This is a normal bargaining phrase in markets or small shops, but not in supermarkets, chain stores, or most fixed-price places. In those places it can sound odd because the staff usually can't change the price.
