支払い در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 支払い (shiharai) is the Japanese noun for 'payment', used in daily shopping, bill paying, and business transactions.
- It is the noun form of the verb 支払う (shiharau) and is often made polite with the prefix 'o' as お支払い.
- Common phrases include 支払い方法 (payment method), 支払い期限 (payment deadline), and 支払いを済ませる (to finish payment).
- While similar to 会計 (kaikei), 'shiharai' focuses on the act of paying rather than the bill itself.
The word 支払い (shiharai) is a fundamental Japanese noun that translates to 'payment' in English. It is derived from the verb shiharau (to pay). While the verb describes the action, the noun shiharai refers to the concept of the transaction itself, the amount due, or the method of paying. In the context of daily life in Japan, you will encounter this word everywhere—from convenience stores (konbini) to high-end department stores, and even when dealing with monthly utility bills. Understanding this word is crucial because it governs how you interact with the Japanese economy on a micro level.
- Grammatical Category
- Noun (derived from the Ren'youkei form of the verb 支払う).
- Politeness Level
- Neutral, but often prefixed with the honorific 'o' (お支払い) in customer service settings to show respect to the payer.
レジで支払いを済ませました。(Reji de shiharai o sumasemashita.)
In Japan, the culture of payment has shifted significantly over the last decade. While Japan was once a strictly cash-based society, the term shiharai now encompasses a wide variety of methods including credit cards, IC cards (like Suica or Pasmo), and QR code payments (like PayPay or Rakuten Pay). When a clerk asks you about your 'shiharai houhou' (payment method), they are asking how you intend to settle the bill. This word is also used in more formal business contexts, such as 'shiharai kigen' (payment deadline) or 'shiharai jouken' (payment terms), making it a versatile term that bridges the gap between casual shopping and professional finance.
お支払い方法はカードですか？ (O-shiharai houhou wa kaado desu ka?)
- Kanji Breakdown
- 支 (Shi): To support or branch out. 払 (Harai): To pay or sweep away. Together, they represent the distribution of funds to clear a debt.
Furthermore, the concept of 'shiharai' extends to automated systems. If you have a gym membership or a Netflix subscription in Japan, the monthly withdrawal from your bank account is referred to as a 'shiharai'. If the payment fails due to insufficient funds, you might receive a notification saying 'shiharai ga dekimasen deshita' (payment could not be made). This highlights that the word is not just for physical hand-to-hand transactions but for any transfer of value in exchange for service or goods. In a social context, if a group of friends is splitting a bill, they might discuss the 'shiharai' split, though 'warikan' is the more specific term for splitting the cost.
家賃の支払いは毎月25日です。(Yachin no shiharai wa maitsuki nijuu-go nichi desu.)
Using 支払い (shiharai) correctly involves understanding its role as a noun and how it interacts with various particles and verbs. Most commonly, it is paired with the particle 'no' (の) to indicate what is being paid for, or with 'o' (を) when it is the object of an action. For example, 'gasu-dai no shiharai' means 'payment of the gas bill'. When you want to say 'to make a payment', you use the verb 'suru' (to do), resulting in 'shiharai o suru'. However, in more formal or complete actions, you might hear 'shiharai o sumaseru' (to finish/complete the payment).
- Common Verb Pairings
- 〜を済ませる (to finish), 〜を忘れる (to forget), 〜を遅らせる (to delay), 〜を受け付ける (to accept).
クレジットカードでの支払いが可能です。(Kurejitto kaado de no shiharai ga kanou desu.)
Another important aspect is the use of the particle 'de' (で) to specify the medium of payment. 'Genkin de' (by cash), 'kaado de' (by card), or 'sumaho de' (by smartphone). When these are combined with 'shiharai', it forms a clear description of the transaction method. For instance, 'shiharai wa genkin nomi desu' (Payment is cash only). This is a vital phrase to recognize when traveling in rural parts of Japan where digital payments might not be accepted yet. In written forms or online checkouts, you will see 'shiharai houhou no sentaku' (selection of payment method), which guides the user to choose their preferred way to pay.
分割での支払いを選びました。(Bunkatsu de no shiharai o erabimashita.)
In more complex sentences, 'shiharai' can be the subject. 'Shiharai ga okureru' means 'the payment is late'. This is a common phrase in business or when discussing late fees. If you are talking about the total amount to be paid, you might use 'shiharai goukei' (payment total). In the context of taxes or official fees, the word 'noufu' is sometimes used, but 'shiharai' remains the most common and widely understood term for general transactions. When you are at a hotel, the 'shiharai' usually happens at check-out, and the staff will politely ask, 'O-shiharai wa go-issho desu ka?' (Will the payment be together/one bill?).
来月、大きな支払いがあります。(Raigetsu, ookina shiharai ga arimasu.)
You will hear 支払い (shiharai) in almost every commercial interaction in Japan. One of the most common places is the 'reji' (cash register). As you approach, the clerk might say, 'O-shiharai wa ikaga nasaimasu ka?' (How would you like to pay?). This is a polite way of asking for your payment method. You will also hear it in automated voice announcements at self-checkout machines, which have become incredibly common in supermarkets like Aeon or convenience stores like Lawson. The machine might prompt you with, 'O-shiharai houhou o sentaku shite kudasai' (Please select your payment method).
- Common Locations
- Supermarkets, Convenience Stores, Banks, Online Shopping Sites, Government Offices.
こちらのレジで支払いをお願いします。(Kochira no reji de shiharai o onegaishimasu.)
Beyond the physical store, 'shiharai' is a key term in the digital world. When shopping on Amazon Japan or Rakuten, the checkout page will always have a section for 'shiharai jouhou' (payment information). If you use a banking app, you will see a menu item for 'furikomi/shiharai' (transfer/payment). In these contexts, the word is often used without the polite 'o' prefix because it is a functional UI element. You might also hear it in news reports discussing 'denshi shiharai' (electronic payment) trends or government policies regarding 'shouhizei no shiharai' (payment of consumption tax).
自動支払いの設定を確認してください。(Jidou shiharai no settei o kakunin shite kudasai.)
In a professional office environment, 'shiharai' is used when discussing invoices and accounts payable. An accountant might ask, 'Kono seikuusho no shiharai wa itsu desu ka?' (When is the payment for this invoice?). It is also common in the context of salaries, though 'kyuuryou' is the specific word for salary, the act of the company paying the employees can be referred to as 'kyuuryou no shiharai'. Finally, you will hear it at the doctor's office or pharmacy. After your consultation, you wait in the 'machiaishitsu' (waiting room) until they call your name for the 'kaikei' or 'shiharai'.
One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make is confusing 支払い (shiharai) with 会計 (kaikei). While both relate to money and paying, they are used differently. 'Kaikei' refers to the bill, the check, or the accounting process. When you want to ask for the bill at a restaurant, you say 'O-kaikei onegaishimasu'. If you say 'O-shiharai onegaishimasu', it sounds like you are asking someone to pay you, or it just feels slightly unnatural in that specific context. Think of 'kaikei' as 'the bill' and 'shiharai' as 'the act of paying'.
- Confusing Noun and Verb
- Mistake: 支払いします (Shiharai shimasu) - While grammatically okay, '支払います' (Shiharaimasu) is more natural for 'I will pay'. Use the noun when describing the payment as a thing.
❌ 支払いを持ちます (Shiharai o mochimasu)
✅ 支払いをします (Shiharai o shimasu)
Another mistake is the misuse of the honorific 'o' (お). While it is polite to say 'o-shiharai' when talking to a customer, you should never use 'o-shiharai' when talking about your own payment to someone else in a humble context, as it might sound like you are elevating your own action. However, in modern casual Japanese, this rule is often relaxed, but in a formal business setting, you should just say 'shiharai'. Also, be careful not to confuse 'shiharai' with 'otsuri' (change). If you are waiting for your change, don't ask for the 'shiharai'!
❌ 支払いは高いです (Shiharai wa takai desu)
✅ 値段が高いです (Nedan ga takai desu)
Lastly, learners often struggle with the particle choice. It's 'shiharai o suru' (to make a payment) but 'shiharai ga aru' (there is a payment/a payment exists). Using 'wa' is also common when defining the method: 'Shiharai wa kaado de' (As for the payment, [it will be] by card). Misusing these particles can make your sentence sound disjointed, even if the meaning is understood.
While 支払い (shiharai) is the most general term for payment, several other words are used depending on the context and level of formality. Understanding these nuances will make your Japanese sound more natural and precise. For example, in a restaurant, kaikei is the standard term. In a business contract, you might see kessai, which refers to the settlement of an account or the finalization of a transaction.
- 支払い (Shiharai) vs. 会計 (Kaikei)
- Shiharai is the act of paying money. Kaikei is the bill or the process of calculating the total. Use Kaikei at restaurants.
- 支払い (Shiharai) vs. 決済 (Kessai)
- Kessai is more formal and technical, often used for 'settlement' or 'clearing' in finance and online systems.
- 支払い (Shiharai) vs. 納付 (Noufu)
- Noufu is specifically used for paying taxes, fees to the government, or pension contributions.
キャッシュレス決済が普及しています。(Kyasshu-resu kessai ga fukyuu shite imasu.)
Another word you might encounter is haraikomi (払い込み). This is often used for paying bills at a bank or post office using a specific payment slip (haraikomi-sho). While 'shiharai' is the general act, 'haraikomi' implies the physical or digital act of depositing money into an account to pay a bill. For instance, you 'shiharau' your tuition, but the process of sending the money via the bank is 'haraikomi'.
