廉价
lián jià · HSK 7
cheaply-priced
🏷️ 廉 inexpensive + 价 price = a low price tag
廉 (lián) means inexpensive or frugal; 价 (jià) means price or value. Glued together they literally read inexpensive-price, so 廉价 marks anything that costs little. Sound cue: jià rhymes with the ya in yard-sale bargains.
价 — person radical 亻 + 介 (jiè)
价 is the simplified form of 價. The traditional form combines 亻 (person) with 賈 (merchant), pointing to the act of pricing goods. In the simplified version, 賈 was replaced by the phonetic 介, which hints at the 'jià' reading while keeping the 'person' radical for the trading sense.
