خلفية ثقافية
In Brazil, the act of negotiating or 'pechinchar' is deeply ingrained in street markets and independent shops. While supermarkets have fixed prices, smaller vendors often expect you to ask them to 'baixar o preço' as part of the social ritual of buying.
The Magic Word
When asking someone to 'baixar o preço', always follow up with 'à vista' (paying in cash/full). It's the most effective way to actually get that discount!
The 'Choro'
In Brazil, bargaining is often called 'chorar' (to cry). So if you are asking to 'baixar o preço', you are 'chorando um desconto'.

What It Means
Baixar preço is your bread and butter for shopping in Brazil or Portugal. It means making something cheaper. Think of it as the physical act of bringing a number down. It is direct and clear. Everyone from a street vendor to a CEO understands it.
How To Use It
You can use it as a verb phrase. If you see a shirt you like but it's too expensive, you ask if they can baixar o preço. It works for big things like houses or small things like a kilo of tomatoes. You usually use the definite article o (the) in the middle: baixar o preço.
When To Use It
Use it when you are bargaining at a local market. It is perfect for discussing business strategies with colleagues. Use it when complaining to your friends about inflation. If you are texting a friend about a sale, this is your go-to phrase. It feels natural in almost any transaction-based conversation.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use it if you are talking about your own value as a person. That would be weird! Also, avoid it in very high-end luxury boutiques where prices are fixed. In those places, asking to baixar o preço might get you a very cold stare. It’s for places where negotiation is expected or sales are common.
Cultural Background
Bargaining is a national sport in many Portuguese-speaking cultures. In Brazil, the pechincha (bargaining) is a social interaction. Asking to baixar o preço isn't seen as rude; it's seen as being smart. It’s the start of a conversation. If you don't ask, you're probably paying the 'tourist tax'.
Common Variations
You might hear abaixar o preço which is virtually the same. People also say dar um desconto (give a discount). If the price drops significantly, they might say the price despencou (plummeted). But baixar preço remains the most reliable, standard way to talk about costs going down.
ملاحظات الاستخدام
The phrase is highly versatile and works in both formal business settings and informal street markets. Just remember to include the article 'o' in most spoken sentences.
