Usage Note

Oferta means both a job offer (una oferta de trabajo) and a sale/discount (en oferta = 'on sale / on special offer'). This double sense is very practical: a shop sign saying oferta means a promotional deal, not a general 'offering'. The verb ofrecer is 'to offer'. Oferta y demanda ('supply and demand') is the standard economic term — note that oferta maps to 'supply' in this fixed phrase, not 'demand'.

Examples
