Business English How to talk about Prices in English

#speaking
#practical_sentences

دوستان عزیز یک فایل صوتی خوب آموزشی در مورد کلمات و جملات کاربردی مربوط به قیمت ، پرسیدن قیمت ، گران بودن، عدم توانایی پرداخت ، کم کردن قیمت ، و ..
گوینده بعد از هر جمله مکثی می کنه که شنونده جمله را تکرار کنه که این تکرار تمرین خیلی خوبی است برای یادگیری و بخاطر سپردن اون جمله

شاید در رابطه با کلمات و جملات مربوطه به قیمت قبلا چیزهایی شنیده باشید اما این در این فایل بعضی چیرهایی که میگه برای خیلی از شما می
تونه جدید باشه مثل اصطلاح to be out of sb's price range که وقتی چیزی برای شخصی خیلی گرونه ( too expensive ) و شخص نمی تونه پرداخت کنه میگه . جمله
I'm afraid I can't afford it
را هم گفته


در مورد اینکه از
indirect و politely language
(زبان غیر مستقیم و مودبانه )
برای تقاضای کاهش قیمت استفاده کنیم صحبت کرده یعنی گفته به جای این که بگیم
Lower the price
میگیم
Would you take a lower price ?
یا
Is there any way we could bring down the price?

اصطلاح informal در باره کم کردن قیمت هم با knock off money a price گفته.

From MDMA to ketamine to psychedelics, the drugs we were told in high school that would ruin our lives are now being used to potentially save lives. Dr. Roger McIntyre, professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at the University of Toronto, discusses the growing promise of ketamine therapy to treat severe depression and the shift to cutting edge treatments using other substances such as MDMA and psylocibin from so-called magic mushrooms.
