Lajan, pri ak labank

Vokabilè lajan an divize an twa pati : pale de pri a, peman yo menm ak kominikasyon ak labank. Aletranje, twa a parèt touswit.

Sou pri a

• How much does it cost? / How much is it?
• It costs £40.
• That's good value. (li vo sa li koute)
• It's a bargain. (pi bon mache pase sa yo te espere)
• It's a rip-off. (yon awnaque ; familye e byen dirèk)
• I can't afford it.
• We're on a tight budget.

Cheap ak inexpensive : cheap souvan fè konprann yon move kalite tou, alòske inexpensive ak affordable pa fè sa.

De konstriksyon pou gen nan men ou : I can't afford to go. (afford + to + vèb) ak It's worth the money. / It isn't worth it.

Peman

• Can I pay by card? / in cash / by bank transfer
• Do you take contactless?
• Could I have a receipt, please?
• Is service included?
• Let's split the bill. (pataje l an pati egal)
• I'll get this. / It's on me. (se mwen k ap peye)

Vèb yo konfonn

• spend money on something : I spent £50 on books.
• pay for something : I paid for the meal.
• cost — sijè a se bagay la menm : The meal cost £50.
• lend — prete (bay) / borrow — prete (resevwa) : Can you lend me £10? / Can I borrow £10?
• save — ekonomize / save up for — ekonomize pou yon bagay
• owe — dwe : I owe you £20.
• charge — fakture yon pri : They charged me £5 extra.

❌ I paid the meal. → ✅ I paid for the meal. ❌ I spent £50 for books. → ✅ I spent £50 on books.

Premye pèlen an soti nan kreyòl : « peye manje a » kòrèk an kreyòl, men an angle, ou peye for yon bagay. Dezyèm lan tou : an kreyòl ou di « depanse lajan pou liv » (ak pou), men an angle se on ou bezwen, pa for.

Lajan k ap antre ak sa k ap soti

Revni : salary (chak mwa, travay biwo) · wages (pa è oswa pa semèn) · earn · get paid · bonus · pension · tax · gross (anvan taks) / net (apre taks)

Depans : rent · bills · mortgage · deposit (yon kosyon yo remèt ou) · insurance · subscription · direct debit (yon prelèvman otomatik chak mwa)

• I get paid on the 25th.
• Most of my salary goes on rent.
• The bills come to about £200 a month.

Atansyon ak mo deposit : li ka vle di yon kosyon ou peye davans kou lajan ou mete nan yon kont. Kontèks la fè diferans.

Nan labank

account · current account · savings account · balance · statement · withdraw · deposit · transfer · overdraft · interest · loan · mortgage · exchange rate · commission

• I'd like to open an account.
• What's the exchange rate today?
• Do you charge commission?
• My card's been declined.
• I need to withdraw some cash.

Fo zanmi : balance se sòlde yon kont (pa yon balans pou peze), e statement se relve a.

Mo familye

Lang britanik la plen ak yo, e w ap tande yo byen anvan ou bezwen sèvi ak yo ou menm :

a quid — yon liv · a fiver / a tenner — £5 / £10 · I'm broke / skint — mwen pa gen lajan ankò · it cost a fortune — sa koute yon fòtin · it's a bit steep — sa yon ti jan chè

Remake : quid pa gen pliryèl : twenty quid, pa « quids ».

Pwoblèm

• I've been charged twice.
• There's a payment on my statement I don't recognise.
• I'd like to report a lost card.
• The payment didn't go through.
• I'd like to dispute this charge.

Se vèb sa yo ki detèmine ki moun ki dwe ki moun ki sa. Regle pè lend ak borrow la dabò : Can you lend me £10? ak Can I borrow £10? vle di menm bagay la, alòske Can you borrow me £10? pa vle di anyen. Epi diferans ant I owe you ak you owe me, pi bon pou ou sèten anvan konvèsasyon an, pa pandan l.

Pataje adisyon an

A: Shall we split it?

B: I'll get this — you paid for the taxi.

A: Are you sure? It's not cheap.

B: It's fine. Just lend me a tenner for the tip, I've got no cash on me.

A: Here. You owe me, though.

Split, get this, pay for, lend, yon non familye pou yon kantite lajan ak owe : sis bagay yo konfonn nan yon sèl ti dyalòg.
