How to say "Price" in Japanese

When translating "price" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 値段 and 値下げ. In Japanese, 値段 (ねだん (nedan)) is typically associated with "price" (Syllabus Level: N4) and represents Used to inquire about or state the cost of an item. Often seen with 高い. On the other hand, 値下げ (ねさげ (nesage)) maps to "price reduction; discount; price cut" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Refers to lowering the price of goods or services. Opposite: 値上げ. Often used as セールで値下げ. ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'Price cut! "I requested a discount on Haruka-san's strictness!" ...っ! T-To ask for a discount on my strictness! B-Baka! My strictness is just the other side of my deep love! No discounts on my doting!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『ねさげ（値下げ）よ！『ハルカ部長、ツンの部分の値下げキャンペーンは実施していませんか？』って…っ！ツンの値下げ！バカ！私のツンはあんたを愛しすぎる照れ隠しなんだから、値引き不可！デレは毎日大放出してるでしょ！』. A literal translation of "price" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
