haggle
/ˈhæɡəl/verb
To bargain back and forth with a seller in order to get a lower price.
Example sentences
- “At the market, my mother haggled with the vendor until he dropped the price.”
- “Tourists are expected to haggle over prices in the old bazaar.”
Expected at markets and car lots, awkward at fixed-price stores; knowing where haggling is welcome is cultural knowledge. 'Haggle over' takes the disputed thing.
