How to use 涨价
涨价 is a verb-object phrase used for goods, services, or fares that get more expensive. You can say what went up and by how much. Example: 地铁票又涨价了。(Dìtiě piào yòu zhǎngjià le.) The subway fare went up again.
涨 (zhǎng) has the water radical 氵, like a river rising after rain, and 价 (jià) means price. Picture prices rising like water in a flood: 涨价 means prices go up.
Common mistake: 涨 is read zhǎng (third tone) here, not zhàng. The zhàng reading means to swell, as in 头昏脑涨 (tóu hūn nǎo zhàng). Also, because 涨价 already contains an object, avoid adding another one directly after it. Say 苹果涨价了 (píngguǒ zhǎngjià le), not 涨价苹果.
