How to use 特价
特价 is common on shop signs, menus, and online stores to mark discounted items. It often appears as 特价商品 (special-price goods) or in phrases like 打特价. Example: 这件衣服今天特价。(Zhè jiàn yīfu jīntiān tèjià.) This piece of clothing is on special offer today.
特 (tè) means special, as in 特别 (tèbié), and 价 (jià) means price, as in 价格 (jiàgé). Put them together and a 特价 is simply a special price.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes read 价 with a neutral or second tone, but it is fourth tone, so 特价 is two falling tones: tèjià. Also do not confuse 价 (jià) with 份 (fèn), which has a similar person radical on the left.
