== Bargaining and Negotiating Prices ==
| анага  || anaga || to buy


In Abkhazian markets, bargaining and negotiating prices is a common practice. It is important to keep in mind that haggling is not considered rude or pushy—it is simply a part of the shopping experience. Here are some phrases and tips to help you in your bargaining efforts:
|-
 
| иу  || iu || how much


* Գәаҷәлҭқәа аҩарынык! - Gəajəlƶqwəa aƶarynyk! - Give me a discount!
|-
* Աцаарыр иитыр моупшәа - Atswaryr yiityr moupwšwa - This is too much.

* Ҳҭыуынт аҟәцәа аԥшақәа. - Htswynt akwitsa apšaqwəa. - Lower the price.


When negotiating prices, it is important to be polite but firm. Start by offering a price lower than what you want to pay, and then work your way up to a fair price. Don't be afraid to walk away if the vendor is not meeting your price point—you might be surprised at how quickly they change their mind and offer a better deal.
