Meaning and Usage

일시불 refers to paying the entire amount of money at once, rather than in installments. It is commonly used in contexts like shopping, buying cars, or paying bills where a single full payment is made.

Common Collocations

  • 일시불 결제: paying in a lump sum, often contrasted with 할부 (installment payment).
  • 일시불 할인: discount given when paying all at once.
  • 일시불 구매: purchasing something by paying the full price immediately.

Register and Context

일시불 is a neutral term used in both formal and informal contexts, especially in financial transactions. It is often seen in contracts, receipts, and sales promotions.

Tips for Learners

Be careful not to confuse 일시불 with 할부, which means paying in installments. When you want to emphasize paying everything at once, use 일시불. Also, remember that 일시불 is a noun, so it is often combined with 결제 (payment) or 구매 (purchase).
