, người mua không
ŋɨə˧˥ məː˧˧ xoː˧˧
VI
A Vietnamese idiom describing a potential buyer who does not actually intend to purchase the item, often asking many questions but never committing to a buy.
Trên chợ mạng, nhiều người mua không chỉ hỏi giá rồi bỏ đi.
On online marketplaces, many non-committal potential buyers just ask for the price and leave.
Etymology
The phrase originates from traditional Vietnamese street markets, where sellers would observe that some people would act interested in buying but never complete a purchase. It has since become a common idiom in commercial contexts.
Memory Aid
Break it down: người mua = buyer, không = not; so 'a buyer who does not [buy]' matches its meaning.
