How to use 定价
定价 works both as a verb, to set a price, and as a noun, the list price or fixed price. It is common in business, retail and book publishing. Example: 这本书定价三十元。(Zhè běn shū dìngjià sānshí yuán.) This book is priced at thirty yuan.
定 (dìng) means to fix or settle, as in 决定 (juédìng) to decide, and 价 (jià) means price, as in 价值 (jiàzhí) value. Put them together and you get the price that has been settled: 定价, to set a price.
Common mistake: Learners often write 价 with the wrong right side or confuse it with 介 (jiè), which lacks the person radical 亻. Also, 定价 is the official or list price, so do not use it for a bargained price, which is 成交价 (chéngjiāojià).
