意味
To use physical money for a transaction.
文化的背景
In Spain, the term 'en metálico' is very common alongside 'en efectivo'. Also, by law, cash payments between professionals are limited to 1,000 euros to prevent fraud. Cash is vital in Mexico for 'tianguis' (open-air markets). The word 'feria' is often used informally to refer to the coins or small bills used in these transactions. Due to economic fluctuations, some businesses in Argentina offer a 'descuento por pago en efectivo' (discount for cash payment) to avoid bank fees and delays.
Small Change
If you pay in cash at small shops, try not to use large bills (like 50€) for small purchases. They might not have enough change.
Safety First
While cash is common, avoid carrying very large amounts of 'efectivo' in crowded tourist areas.

The 'En' Rule
Remember: En efectivo (Cash), Con tarjeta (Card). This simple preposition switch makes you sound much more native.
