Is this already the discounted price?
'Scontato' — scon-TA-to. Three syllables.
Ask when you see a price tag and are not sure if it is the sale price or the original price. During Italian 'saldi' (official sales), both prices should be displayed — original crossed out and sale price shown.
'Già' = already. 'Prezzo scontato' = discounted price. Italian consumer law requires that during sales, the reference price (the original price) must be shown with the sale price. If only one price is shown, ask whether it is the sale price.
Il prezzo originale qual era?
What was the original price?
Asks for the reference price.
Quanto si risparmia?
How much does one save?
Asks about the saving.
È il prezzo di saldo?
Is it the sale price?
Direct version.
Italian 'saldi' (official seasonal sales) are regulated by regional law. In most regions, winter sales ('saldi invernali') start on January 5th and summer sales ('saldi estivi') on the first Saturday of July. Pre-sale discounts outside these periods must follow different advertising rules.
