出金

While both 出金 (shukkin) and 引き出し (hikidashi) refer to withdrawing money, there's a slight nuance. 出金 (shukkin) is a more formal term, often used in business contexts, accounting, or official financial transactions. You'll see it on bank statements or official forms. 引き出し (hikidashi) is the more common, everyday word for withdrawing money from an ATM or a bank counter. Think of it like 'withdrawal' (出金) versus 'taking out money' (引き出し).

No, you wouldn't typically use 出金 (shukkin) for that. 出金 specifically refers to money coming out of an account, like a bank account. For taking money out of your wallet, you'd probably just say something like 「財布からお金を取る」 (saifu kara okane o toru - to take money from my wallet).

出金 (shukkin) is primarily and almost exclusively used for money. While the kanji can sometimes imply things 'coming out,' in this specific compound, it's about money being paid out or withdrawn from an account. You wouldn't use it for, say, goods being shipped out.

出金 (shukkin) is a noun, but you can easily make it into a verb by adding する (suru). So, 出金する (shukkin suru) means 'to withdraw money' or 'to pay out money.'

Example: 銀行からお金を出金します。(Ginkou kara okane o shukkin shimasu.) - I will withdraw money from the bank.

No, you wouldn't use 出金 (shukkin) for receiving your salary. 出金 is about money leaving an account. When you receive your salary, money is coming *into* your account. The term for that would be 入金 (nyuukin - deposit) or 振り込み (furikomi - bank transfer) if it's direct deposit.

Yes, you'll often see it in financial contexts. For example:
出金伝票 (shukkin denpyou) - withdrawal slip / payment voucher
出金依頼 (shukkin irai) - withdrawal request / payment request
出金限度額 (shukkin gendo-gaku) - withdrawal limit
These are very practical terms you'll encounter if you deal with Japanese banking or accounting.

Both involve money leaving, but they're different actions. 出金 (shukkin) is specifically the act of withdrawing money from an account. It's about the money physically or digitally leaving the account. 支払い (shiharai) means 'payment', which is the act of giving money to someone or something for goods or services. You might *use* money you 出金した (shukkin shita - withdrew) to make a 支払い (shiharai - payment).

出金 (shukkin) is considered a B1 level word. This means it's a useful term for intermediate learners, as it's common in practical financial situations you might encounter while living or working in Japan.

Not necessarily. While it can be used for large corporate payouts, it's also used for any amount of money withdrawn from an account in a formal context. For example, a bank statement will list all 'withdrawals' as 出金, regardless of the amount.

Sure! Here's an example:

毎月の家賃は、銀行口座から自動で出金されます。
(Maitsuki no yachin wa, ginkou kouza kara jidou de shukkin saremasu.)

English hint: 'The monthly rent is automatically withdrawn from my bank account.'
