hinnakirju

Hinnakiri is the Estonian term for a published list of prices for goods or services offered by a business. Hinnakirju is the partitive plural form of hinnakiri, used when price lists are mentioned as objects in a sentence.

A hinnakiri typically lists what is available, the price for each item or service, the unit of sale, the currency, and whether the price includes taxes. It may also show price validity periods, discounts, surcharges, and basic terms of sale or payment.

Price lists can be printed or published online as catalogs, PDFs, or app pages. They may be dynamic, especially for services with fluctuating rates, and should be kept up to date. Businesses often publish separate hinnakirju for consumer sales and for wholesale customers.

The hinnakiri serves to inform customers and to support transparent pricing and fair trading. It is distinct from a hinnapakkumine, which is a formal price offer given to a specific customer and often subject to conditions and negotiation.

In Estonia and other markets, price lists are common in sectors such as retail, hospitality, telecommunications, and utilities. The term hinnakirju thus represents the concept of posted or published price information across multiple items and services.
