Money isn’t everything, but it does play a huge part in our lives. Do you know how to talk about it in Chinese? Vocabulary Terms for Cash, Currency, Money and More 货币 (huòbì) — currency 钱 (qián) — money 现金 (xiànjīn) — cash, ready money 钞票 (chāopiào) — banknote, paper money, (money) bill 硬币 (yìngbì) — coin 零钱 (língqián) — small change, loose change 元 (yuán) — monetary unit 块 (kuài) — informal form of 元, more common in conversation 角 (jiǎo) — 0.1 yuan, 10 cents/pennies, dime 毛 (máo) — informal form of 角, more common in conversation 分 (fēn) — 0.01 yuan, 1 cent/penny 钱包 (qiánbāo) — wallet 零钱包 (líng qiánbāo) — coin purse When discussing price, you might’ve noticed native speakers switching between 元 and 块. This is similar in the United States, where you might switch between “dollars” and “bucks,” or in the UK where they’d use “pounds” and “quid” interchangeably. While 块 is considered the informal version of 元, it’s more commonly used than 元 in everyday situations. So, if you want to say ¥50, you can either say: 五十元 (wǔshí yuán) 五十块 (wǔshí kuài) Here are the options of payment when going cashless: 借记卡 (jiè jì kǎ) — debit card 信用卡 (xìnyòngkǎ) — credit card Visa卡 (visa kǎ) — Visa card 万事达卡 (wànshìdá kǎ) — MasterCard 支付宝 (zhīfùbǎo) — Alipay 微信支付 (wēixìnzhīfù) — WeChat Pay To pay by card, simply say: 我要刷卡 (wǒ yào shuākǎ), which literally means you want to swipe your card. To ask if the above cashless payments are available, you’d just tack on 可以吗 (kěyǐ ma) after saying your preferred payment. For example, if you want to ask, “Do you accept WeChat Pay?” or “Can I pay by WeChat?” you’d say: 微信可以吗? (wēixìn kěyǐ ma?) # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
