High Price
noun, の adjective
A tall value. If you paid for something that had a tall value, it would have a high price.
This word is often used when something sells for a comparatively high price. Like when a stock is hitting highs, or goods are sold for higher than the average market price, or something can fetch a high price at auction.
This word uses the kun'yomi readings, which you learned with 高い and the vocabulary word 値. Since 値 has two readings, あたい and ね, here's a mnemonic to help you remember to use the latter:
When you see a high price, you let out a loud neigh (ね). Are you neighing with glee at the price of one of your stocks soaring? Neighing in disbelief at an eBay listing for a Pokémon card you're pretty sure you had when you were seven? We don't speak horse, so… we have no idea honestly.
いつも高値の時に株を買ってしまうんです。
I always end up buying stocks when they're high.
先週、家を売ったんですが、希望していたほどの高値では売れませんでした。
We sold our property last week, but it didn't get as high a price as we hoped for.
コウイチの秘密の日記が、オークションで歴代最高値で落札された。
