French Expression
| Meaning | good value, good deal | |
| Literally | good quality-price ratio | |
| Register | normal | |
| Pronunciation |  |
[bo(n) rah puhr kah lee tay pree] |
| IPA | [bɔ̃ ʁa pɔʁ ka li te pʁi] | |
Usage notes: Talk is cheap, but the French expression un bon rapport qualité-prix or un bon rapport qualité / prix indicates a good value for your money. It’s often found in product descriptions and reviews.
Par exemple…
| Hôtel deux étoiles avec bon rapport qualité-prix | Good value two-star hotel |
Since bon is an adjective, you can make it comparative or superlative:
| un meilleur rapport qualité-prix | better value | |
| le meilleur rapport qualité-prix | best value |
Antonymous expressions
To talk about something that is not a good value, you can negate the expression:
| Ce n’est pas un bon rapport qualité-prix. | It’s not a good value. | |
| Ce resto n’a pas un bon rapport qualité-prix. | This restaurant does not offer good value. |
Or use an antonym:
| un mauvais rapport qualité-prix | poor value | |
| un pire rapport qualité-prix | worse value | |
| le pire rapport qualité-prix | worst value |
Variations
It’s also possible, though uncommon, to use a completely different adjective:
| un rapport qualité-prix incroyable | amazing value | |
| un rapport qualité-prix intéressant | good value | |
| un faible rapport qualité-prix | poor value |
