It's the best money can buy!



Hey everyone, have you heard this expression before?

The best money can buy.

It's usually used by someone who is boasting. Boast in Japanese is 自慢 (じまん). This expression is used to talk about something you bought when you want to say it is very high quality while indirectly adding that it was very expensive without mentioning the exact price. This means it is a bit more polite expression that you can use when you bought something that is really new and cool and you're proud of your purchase.

Al: Hey Bob, nice laptop!

Bob: Thanks Bob, it's the best money can buy. It has all the latest features and the best processors on the market.

Al: Cool, let me try it out.

Any questions?

Phil
