Understanding '수표' (Check)

'수표' refers to a financial instrument used to pay a specified amount of money from a bank account. It is commonly used in business transactions or when large sums are involved.

Usage and Context

You will often hear '수표' in banking or financial contexts. It is a formal term and usually appears in written or official speech rather than casual conversation.

Common Collocations

  • 수표를 발행하다: to issue a check
  • 수표를 현금으로 바꾸다: to cash a check
  • 수표가 부도 나다: a check bounces (fails to clear)

Tips for Learners

Be careful not to confuse '수표' with '현금' (cash) or '계좌이체' (bank transfer). '수표' specifically means a check, which is a written order to a bank. When writing or talking about checks, always mention the amount and date clearly to avoid misunderstandings.
