How to use 降价
降价 is a verb-object phrase used for shops, products, and services getting cheaper, and it often appears on sale signs. Example: 这家店的衣服降价了。(Zhè jiā diàn de yīfu jiàngjià le.) The clothes in this shop got cheaper.
降 (jiàng) means to go down, as in 降落 (jiàngluò) to land, and 价 (jià) means price, as in 价格 (jiàgé). Put them together and the price comes down for a landing.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 降 with 隆 (lóng) because both start with the 阝 side. Also keep the tones straight: both syllables are fourth tone, jiàngjià, not jiǎngjià.
