リーズナブル
りーずなぶる
na-adjective
reasonable (in price)
1.
reasonable, affordable, fairly priced
Describes a price that is fair and not excessively high, suggesting good value for money. In Japanese, this word is almost exclusively used to describe prices, unlike English where 'reasonable' has broader meanings.
この店はリーズナブルで美味しい。
This restaurant is reasonably priced and delicious.
リーズナブルな価格でランチが食べられる。
You can eat lunch at a reasonable price.
駅前にリーズナブルなイタリアンのお店が新しくオープンしたので、今度行ってみよう。
An affordable Italian restaurant just opened in front of the station, so let's try it sometime.
FALSE FRIEND: In English, "reasonable" has many meanings (sensible, fair, logical), but in Japanese, リーズナブル is used almost exclusively to describe prices. You cannot say リーズナブルな意見 to mean "a reasonable opinion" — use 合理的な or 妥当な instead.
