Bargaining & prices

Ask about a price, negotiate politely and agree on a purchase.

By the end of this lesson

Ask a price, make one polite counter-offer and decide whether to buy.

Use invented quotes to recognise a reduction, a final price and a refusal without assuming every shop bargains.

Say this now

Can you lower the price?

Say as a manlót raa khaa dâai mǎi khrápลดราคาได้ไหมครับ
Say as a womanlót raa khaa dâai mǎi kháลดราคาได้ไหมคะ

All prices are invented practice examples. Ask whether a reduction is possible; the seller may have a fixed price or decline.

Sentence shape: Lower the price → can you? → polite ending.
