How to Say ‘That's a bit expensive.’ in Traditional Chinese
有點貴耶。
yǒu diǎn guì yé
[yoh dyehn gway ye]
💬 Usage Tip: 有點 goes before an adjective you're mildly complaining about: 有點小 "a bit small". The ending 耶 (ye) adds a soft, chatty surprise.
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Saying it's a little expensive is the usual polite opening before you ask for a discount, and it's gentler than rejecting the price outright.
