뜻
To give money as a penalty for breaking a rule or law.
문화적 배경
In the US, parking fines are very common and often handled online or by mail. The term 'Penalty Charge Notice' (PCN) is often used instead of 'fine' in official UK parking contexts. Germany has a very strict system of fines for traffic violations, which are often based on income. In Japan, fines are often paid at a convenience store or a post office.
Check the context
Always ask yourself: Is this a punishment or a service? If it's a punishment, use 'fine'.
Don't use 'do'
Never say 'do a fine'. Always use 'pay'.
