Counteroffer Meaning in English
word
释义
A counteroffer is a new offer made in response to an earlier offer, usually during negotiations, where the original terms are changed or improved.
用法与细微差别
Most common in business, real estate, or salary negotiations. "Counteroffer" is a countable noun: 'make a counteroffer,' 'receive a counteroffer.' Usually formal or semi-formal, rarely used in everyday casual conversations. Not the same as 'reply' or 'response' — it specifically refers to a new set of proposed terms.
