sale

Venta, sale, is the noun from the verb vender, to sell, and refers to any action of selling something.

It's on sale in all pharmacies.

Sale a la venta la semana que viene.
It will go on sale next week.

poner algo en venta
to put something up for sale

Ya han puesto la casa en venta.
They've already put the house up for sale.
