Last time we talked about common expressions and sentences in shopping. Today we are tackling a skill in shopping that can save you quite some money: bargaining in Chinese!

What are some other sentences you can use except from ‘太贵了tai4 gui4 le!’, which will make you sound much more native! And after today’s episode, hopefully you won’t get overwhelmed by all the different benefits sellers put out to confuse you, for example: membership, discount, buy one get one free. Let’s dive in!

Bargain in Chinese and Save That Money: What Else Can You Say Besides ‘Tai Gui Le’!

Verdun, le cimetière de nombreux soldats français et allemands pendant la première guerre mondiale.  Ce podcast, c'est la voix des fantômes qui errent encore dans la région.

Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social life completely.'

Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?

“You’ve been working too much.”
You could say, “You hit the nail on the head!” It’s great for emphasizing accuracy in ideas or actions. Can you think of a time you hit the nail on the head?
