Native speaker’s answer

"Mid-price" means something that isn't very expensive and isn't very cheap compared to similar things or products. "Mid" comes from the word "middle," so it indicates an "in-between" price. Ex: There are a few mid-priced restaurants there that seem expensive. Ex: The hotel was mid-price, but it should have been cheaper since it was bad quality. Ex: Mid-priced homes generally sell very quickly.

What's "umami"? How's it taste like?
"Umami" is a Japanese word meaning "savory" and is the fifth basic taste alongside sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

Ex: That dress is 10 times prettier than the other one.
