Word of the day
Costing little money
adjective
The English word
cheap
English never changes here, whatever language you are reading in.
When to use it
This is the everyday, neutral adjective for a low price, and you will hear it constantly in shops, markets, and travel conversations. Be careful: it can also hint that the quality is low, so describing someone's gift or clothes with it can sound rude. When you want to sound clearly positive about a good price, English speakers often choose a different expression that praises the value instead.
Examples
