Welcome back!!
Now, most people know that you don't always have to buy something with a well-known brand name to get quality. In fact, sometimes goods without such a name can be as good, or better, than those you see on million-dollar TV commercials. And you won't have to pay for the cost of all that advertising!
GENERIC ノーブランドの、ジェネリックの
- A product is generic if it has no brand name or trademark.
- ある商品について generic といった場合、その商品はブランド名や商標がない、という意味になります。最近は日本語でもジェネリック医薬品、などという使い方をします。
- Generic drugs are usually much cheaper than name brand equivalents.
- a: These are really expensive, aren't they?
b: Aren't there any less-expensive brands or generic alternatives?
Take care now!
