特惠 (tèhuì) - use 特价 for discounts specifically on price, while 特惠 can refer to special offers that may include non-price benefits.
特价 is often used in informal contexts, particularly in marketing. Beware of the tone; it should always be pronounced with a fourth tone for both characters. Common collocations include 特价商品 (special price goods) and 特价促销 (special price promotion).
特价 is not included in the HSK vocabulary lists, but it relates to common shopping terms. Students should focus on recognizing it in advertisements and understanding its usage in a commercial context, linking it to other words like 价格 (price) and 优惠 (discount).
Learners often confuse 特价 with 便宜 (piányi), which means 'cheap'. For example, saying '这个东西特价' (This thing is cheap) instead of '这个东西特价' (This thing has a special price) misses the promotional nuance.
