Word origin

The word 出价 (chūjià, "bid") is formed from 出 (chū, "put forward") and 价 (jià, "price"), so its structure links an offered amount with the act of presenting it.

Usage tips

  • In Chinese, 出价 (chūjià, "bid") is a verb, so the amount can follow it directly; English can use bid as both a verb and a noun, as in "a high bid".
