I came across this phrase in some commercials and I wonder what exactly does it mean: GET A QUOTE, NOW. I tried to translate it into several languages but it doesn �t seem to have any sense. The only thing I can think of is to get an initial price for a product...
yes, a quote is when for instance you want new windows fitted in your house you then phone several professionals who come and look and then send you a quote: how much it will all cost.
after the work has been carried out they then send you an invoice which is the bit of paper that tells you how much it all was, so how much you have to pay (of course the quote and the invoice should show roughly the same amount!!)
You got good advice from the folks above! I am close to you (I �m in Slovakia) and hope to do a motorcycle trip through the mountains in Transylvania someday!
It �s a price estimate. (can also be short for quotation, but you don �t "get a quotation")
I think it literally means " get a price quotation"--the seller "quotes" you a price for something which in most countries is a binding to some extent.
