How to use 优惠

优惠 is very common in shopping and business, describing prices, policies, or treatment that favor the customer. It works as an adjective and also as a noun meaning a deal. Example: 这家店今天有优惠。 (Zhè jiā diàn jīntiān yǒu yōuhuì.) This store has a discount today.

优 (yōu) means excellent, as in 优秀 (yōuxiù), and 惠 (huì) means a kindness or benefit. An excellent benefit given to you is a discount or special deal.

Common mistake: Learners often write 惠 (huì) as 慧 (huì, wise), since both have 心 at the bottom and sound the same. Also keep 优 in the first tone, yōu, not yóu.
