Word origin
买一送一 (mǎiyīsòngyī, "buy one, give one") is a compact advertising phrase whose four parts state that one purchase brings one additional item as a gift.
Usage tips
- In store advertising, the offer may apply only to selected products or during a limited period, so nearby conditions determine what the free item is.
