Cheap price in Korean 🇰🇷

싼값 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Notice that “싼값” combines “싼” (cheap) and “값” (price). Picture a price tag with a very low number to link the concept of “cheap price.”
• Remember it by thinking of the adjective “싸다” (to be cheap) and the noun “값” (price).

Explanation:
“싼값” literally means “cheap price.” It’s used to describe something that costs very little. The word is formed by the adjective “싼” and the noun “값,” directly conveying the idea of an inexpensive cost.

Other Words with the Same Meaning:
• 저렴한 가격 (jeoryeomhan gagyeok) – affordable or low price
• 싸다 (ssada) – cheap (adjective form)

Alternate Meanings and Slang:
In informal contexts, “싼값” can sometimes carry a negative connotation implying that something is of low quality due to its low price. There’s also the expression “싼값 치다,” which means to receive a cheap price or to get away with something for less than it’s worth. This usage is more colloquial and may imply that one did not pay a fair or standard price.
