Examples
생각보다 가격이 저렴해서 놀랐어요.
The price was cheaper than I thought, so I was surprised.
When you'd hear it
저렴하다 is common in polite speech, product descriptions, advertisements, and shopping conversations. It sounds more tactful and neutral than bluntly calling something 싸다.
What learners get wrong
저렴하다 and 싸다 can both describe a low price, but 저렴하다 is the more polite, positive choice for products or services; 싸다 can also suggest poor quality or be overly blunt.
