Meaning of Harga Miring
[Harga miring] means something that has a low price tag. [Miring] is just a euphemism for the word [murah], so in other words, [harga miring] has the same meaning as [harga murah].
Some people do not want to use the word [murah] because it doesn’t have any kind of prestige. For example, you want to buy a cheap item, and instead of using the word [cheap], you say to your friend that you want to buy a low-priced item.
When you buy expensive things, there is pride in it, but there isn’t with cheap things. That’s why [murah] is changed into [miring].
Here is one of the real examples of [harga miring] in use. Let’s take a look at the picture below.
In the picture above, you see these words.
Perabotan murah harga miring. (Cheap households items sold at cheap prices)
[Perabotan murah] here means household items that are usually cheap, but moreover, here, the seller sells those cheap household items at very low prices.
[Harga miring] can also mean something that is sold below the market price. Let’s look at the picture below.
It says this in the picture above.
Kami mengerti Anda pasti mau cari properti bagus dengan harga miring, oleh karena itu Tim Hargamiring selalu memburu properti dengan harga di bawah harga pasar. (We understand you want to look for a good property with low prices, so we always search for properties below the market price.)
[Tim Hargamiring] in this sentence is a name. That’s why I just translated that into we. If translated into English, it means [cheap prices team].
In this sentence, the sentence explains itself when it says:
Tim Hargamiring selalu memburu properti dengan harga di bawah harga pasar. (We always search for properties below the market price.)
After they say [harga miring], they say that they are searching for properties with a price tag under the market price.
So, to put it simply, [harga miring] = [harga murah], which means something that has low prices.
You might think, what is the difference between [harga murah] and [harga miring]? It’s the same. Don’t make it difficult for yourself. It is the same! You will see later that Indonesians use those 2, [harga murah] and [harga miring], interchangeably.
