Παζαρεύω την τιμή.

Παζαρεύω is a verb. In this sentence, it means to bargain / haggle / negotiate over something, especially in a market or shop context.

It often suggests:

• trying to get a lower price
• back-and-forth discussion over cost
• a fairly everyday, practical kind of negotiation

It is less formal than a verb like διαπραγματεύομαι.

Because την τιμή is in the accusative case, which is used here for the direct object of the verb.

• η τιμή = the price (nominative, dictionary form)
• την τιμή = the price (accusative, used as the object)

So:

• η τιμή είναι καλή = the price is good
• παζαρεύω την τιμή = I bargain over the price

The verb is acting on the price, so Greek uses the accusative form.

Yes. Τιμή can mean both:

• price
• honor

In this sentence, it clearly means price because of the verb παζαρεύω.

So Greek learners should remember that the meaning of τιμή depends heavily on context:

• Η τιμή του προϊόντος = the price of the product
• Είναι θέμα τιμής = it is a matter of honor

A simple pronunciation guide is:

• Παζαρεύω → pa-za-RE-vo
• την → tin
• τιμή → ti-MI

Stress falls on:

• -ρεύ- in παζαρεύω
• -μή in τιμή

A rough full pronunciation: pa-za-RE-vo tin ti-MI

It is the present tense, first person singular:

• παζαρεύω = I bargain / I am bargaining

In Greek, the present can mean:

• a general action: I bargain
• an action happening now: I am bargaining

Which one is meant depends on context.

Yes, it is understandable and natural, especially in contexts like markets, small shops, or informal buying situations.

Still, in real conversation, Greeks might often say slightly longer versions such as:

• Παζαρεύω την τιμή του αυτοκινήτου.
  I’m negotiating the price of the car.
• Πάω να παζαρέψω την τιμή.
  I’m going to bargain over the price.

So Παζαρεύω την τιμή works well as a clear example sentence, even if everyday speech often adds more context.

Yes. Very often Greek uses it without saying exactly what is being bargained over, if the context is obvious.

For example:

• Παζαρεύει πολύ. = He/She bargains a lot.
• Μην παζαρεύεις! = Don’t haggle!

So the object την τιμή can be stated for clarity, but it is not always necessary.

Yes, depending on context.

Possible translations include:

• I haggle over the price
• I bargain over the price
• I negotiate the price

But the nuance matters:

• haggle suggests a more everyday, back-and-forth discussion over price
• negotiate is broader and can sound more neutral or formal

For παζαρεύω, haggle or bargain is often the closest match in ordinary situations.

Yes. Greek word order is more flexible than English.

The neutral order here is:

• Παζαρεύω την τιμή.

But you could also hear:

• Την τιμή παζαρεύω.

That version puts more emphasis on την τιμή.

Even so, the first version is the most straightforward for learners.

The dictionary form is η τιμή.

Useful forms are:

• η τιμή = nominative singular
• της τιμής = genitive singular
• την τιμή = accusative singular
• τιμές = prices

So in vocabulary lists, you would normally learn it as:

• η τιμή = price

A very common past form is the aorist:

• παζάρεψα την τιμή = I bargained / I negotiated the price

Compare:

• παζαρεύω την τιμή = I bargain / I am bargaining over the price
• παζάρεψα την τιμή = I bargained over the price

This is useful because Greek often contrasts:

• present / imperfective for ongoing or repeated action
• aorist / perfective for a completed action

Yes. A more formal option is διαπραγματεύομαι.

For example:

• Διαπραγματεύομαι την τιμή. = I am negotiating the price.

Difference in tone:

• παζαρεύω = more everyday, more like bargain / haggle
• διαπραγματεύομαι = more formal, more like negotiate

So if you are talking about a market stall, παζαρεύω is very natural.
If you are talking about contracts, business deals, or formal negotiations, διαπραγματεύομαι may fit better.
