値上げ
의미: A price increase; raising the price of goods or services, especially when it impacts daily life.
After decades of deflation, Japan entered a period of significant 値上げ from 2022 onward, driven by global inflation, a weak yen, and rising raw material costs. The word became a constant fixture in news and daily conversation. Every food price increase, every restaurant surcharge, every utility bill hike gets discussed as 値上げ. It's a source of genuine anxiety for households and dominates consumer sentiment discussions.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- 店員に直接「値上げしすぎ」と文句を言うのは筋違い — complaining about price increases to store staff is misdirected; they don't set prices直接对店员抱怨'涨价太多'是找错对象了——向店员抱怨涨价是发错了方向，他们并不决定价格Quejarse de las subidas de precios al personal de la tienda es injusto — ellos no fijan los precios점원한테 직접 '값 올리기 너무한다'고 따지는 건 엉뚱한 거다 — 가격을 정하는 건 점원이 아니므로 직원에게 가격 인상을 항의하는 건 잘못된 대상이다
흔한 실수
- Using 値上げ for naturally fluctuating prices like stocks — it's typically for fixed/listed prices of goods and services
