Hi Benny,

While shopping, I was bargaining with a seller and she said something like this to me:

那个价根本拿不来,我进都进不来

What does “进都进不来” means? 进 means “to enter”, right? But what does it mean over here, doesn’t make much sense.

Thanks!

Hi Lee Kong,

This is almost like a slang. It means "I can’t sell you at this price, this price is even lower than the whole sale price.

进 here means to whole sale the goods. Or the goods comes in.
