When used as a suffix, ～金 (~kin) indicates money for a specific purpose. For example, 入学金 (nyuugakukin) means entrance fee (money for entering school), and 賃金 (chingin) means wages (money for rent/labor). It can also refer to metal, as in 金メダル (kinmedaru) for gold medal or 合金 (goukin) for alloy. The usage is usually clear from context.
～金 in 30 Seconds
- Added after a noun
- Can mean 'money for [noun]'
- Can mean 'metal'
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
When ～金 means "money," it's often used in words related to payments, fees, or funds. Think of it like the English suffixes "-money" or "-fund." For example, if you're talking about a payment, a fee, or a specific type of money, you'll likely see ～金.
When ～金 means "metal," you'll find it in words describing different types of metals or objects made of metal. It's like the English word "metal" itself or a prefix indicating a metal. For instance, gold is 金 (kin) on its own, but it also appears in names of other metals.
Let's look at some common uses and examples to make this clear.
- DEFINITION
- money, metal
§ Examples of ～金 for Money
Here are some practical examples of ～金 when it refers to money:
- 料金 (ryōkin): This means "charge" or "fee." You'll hear this for train fares, entrance fees, or service charges.
- お金 (okane): This is the most common way to say "money" in general. The "o-" is an honorific prefix, making it sound politer.
- 現金 (genkin): This means "cash." If you're paying with physical money, this is the word you'll use.
- 賃金 (chingin): This refers to "wages" or "pay." It's the money you earn from work.
- 寄付金 (kifukin): This means "donation money."
電車の料金を払いました。
Translation hint: I paid the train fee.
お金を持っていますか。
Translation hint: Do you have money?
支払いは現金のみです。
Translation hint: Payment is cash only.
§ Examples of ～金 for Metal
Now, let's look at ～金 when it means "metal" or "gold":
- 金 (kin): By itself, this often means "gold." You'll see it for gold medals, gold jewelry, etc.
- 金属 (kinzoku): This is the general word for "metal."
- 金曜日 (kin'yōbi): This means "Friday." The days of the week in Japanese are often associated with elements, and Friday is associated with gold/metal.
- 合金 (gōkin): This means "alloy," which is a mixture of metals.
彼は金メダルを取りました。
Translation hint: He won a gold medal.
この製品は金属製です。
Translation hint: This product is made of metal.
金曜日に会いましょう。
Translation hint: Let's meet on Friday.
§ Key Takeaways for ～金
To sum up, ～金 is a versatile kanji with two core meanings:
- Money: Used in words for fees, payments, wages, or general money (like 料金, お金, 現金).
- Metal: Used for gold, general metal, or in words describing alloys (like 金, 金属, 合金).
Pay attention to the words that come before or after ～金, and you'll quickly understand its meaning in any given sentence. It's a foundational word for both daily life and understanding more complex Japanese. Keep practicing these examples, and you'll get the hang of it in no time!
§ The meaning of ～金
The Japanese word ～金 (kin) is super common. You'll hear it and see it everywhere. It has a couple of core meanings: money and metal. But don't let those simple definitions fool you. When ～金 is attached to other words, it creates a whole bunch of new terms related to these ideas. Think of it like a building block.
- Japanese Word
- ～金 (kin)
- Pronunciation
- kin
- Definition
- money, metal (CEFR A2)
§ Where you actually hear this word — work, school, news
You'll encounter ～金 in many different situations. Let's look at some common examples, focusing on how it's used in everyday life, especially at work, school, or when you're reading the news.
At Work and In Business:
In a work context, ～金 often pops up when talking about various types of payments, fees, or funds.
- 給料 (kyuuryou) + 金 (kin) = 給料金 (kyuuryoukin) (salary/wages - though usually just 給料 is used, this combination emphasizes the 'money' aspect explicitly).
- 手当 (teate) + 金 (kin) = 手当金 (teatekin) (allowance, benefit payment).
- 料金 (ryoukin) (charge, fee). This is super common. Think about paying for train tickets, electricity, or phone bills.
- 罰 (batsu) + 金 (kin) = 罰金 (bakkin) (fine, penalty). You definitely don't want to encounter this one!
- 奨学 (shougaku) + 金 (kin) = 奨学金 (shougakukin) (scholarship money). This is important for students.
電車の料金はいくらですか？
- Hint
- How much is the train fare?
スピード違反で罰金を払った。
- Hint
- I paid a fine for speeding.
At School and In Education:
Education also has its share of ～金 words.
- 入学 (nyuugaku) + 金 (kin) = 入学金 (nyuugakukin) (entrance fee for school).
- 授業 (jugyou) + 料 (ryou) + 金 (kin) = 授業料金 (jugyouryoukin) (tuition fee). Often shortened to 授業料 (jugyouryou).
- 奨学金 (shougakukin) (scholarship money). We saw this earlier. It's crucial for students needing financial aid.
大学の入学金を払う。
- Hint
- Pay the university entrance fee.
In the News and Public Information:
News reports and public announcements frequently use ～金, especially when discussing government programs, financial aid, or public funds.
- 支援 (shien) + 金 (kin) = 支援金 (shienkin) (support money, subsidy). You'll see this with disaster relief or government aid programs.
- 給付 (kyuufu) + 金 (kin) = 給付金 (kyuufukin) (benefit payment, grant). Similar to 支援金, often from the government.
- 賠償 (baishou) + 金 (kin) = 賠償金 (baishoukin) (compensation money, damages). This comes up in legal cases or disaster aftermath.
- 基金 (kikin) (fund, foundation). Think of a public health fund or a charity fund.
政府は被災者に支援金を支給する。
- Hint
- The government provides support money to disaster victims.
詐欺の賠償金が支払われた。
- Hint
- The compensation money for the fraud was paid.
The 'metal' meaning is also used, but usually in more specific contexts. For example, 金 (kin) by itself can mean gold. But when it's a suffix, it's almost always about money or fees in these practical daily contexts.
Understanding these common combinations will significantly boost your comprehension of spoken and written Japanese. Pay attention to the context, and you'll quickly grasp what kind of "money" or "fund" is being discussed.
Understanding how to use the suffix ～金 (kin) correctly is crucial for sounding natural in Japanese. While its basic meanings are 'money' or 'metal', its usage can be a bit tricky, especially when it combines with other words. Let's look at some common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
§ Mistake 1: Confusing ～金 with お金 (okane)
Many learners equate ～金 directly with お金 (okane), which broadly means 'money'. However, ～金 is typically used as a suffix to specify *what kind* of money is being referred to, or to indicate a type of metal. It's rarely used alone to mean 'money' in a general sense.
- WRONG
- 金があります。(Kin ga arimasu.) - Implies 'There is metal' or sounds very unnatural for 'I have money'.
- CORRECT
- お金があります。(Okane ga arimasu.) - I have money.
§ Mistake 2: Incorrectly applying ～金 to verbs
～金 is a noun suffix. You wouldn't directly attach it to a verb to form a new noun in the same way you might in English. For instance, if you want to say 'deposit money', you don't say '預け金' (azukekin) to mean the act of depositing money, but rather '預金' (yokin) for the 'deposit' itself or use the verb 預ける (azukeru) for the action.
- WRONG
- 払う金 (harau kin) - A literal translation for 'money to pay' but not how Japanese speakers would naturally phrase it.
- CORRECT
- 支払い (shiharai) - payment, or 払うお金 (harau okane) - money to pay.
§ Mistake 3: Overlooking established compound words
Many words that include ～金 are fixed compound nouns. You can't just attach ～金 to any noun and expect it to make sense. For example, 'gas money' isn't ガス金 (gasu kin); it's ガソリン代 (gasorin-dai) or 交通費 (kōtsūhi) if it's for transportation costs in general.
- EXAMPLES OF CORRECT USAGE:
-
- 賃金 (chingin): wages
- 料金 (ryōkin): fee, charge
- 奨学金 (shōgakukin): scholarship money
- 借金 (shakkin): debt (borrowed money)
- 現金 (genkin): cash (actual money)
このアパートの賃金はいくらですか？
Kono apāto no chingin wa ikura desu ka?
(How much is the rent/wages for this apartment? - context dependent)
駐車料金は300円です。
Chūsha ryōkin wa sanbyaku en desu.
(The parking fee is 300 yen.)
§ Mistake 4: Confusing 金 (kin) as 'gold' versus 'money/metal'
The kanji 金 can also mean 'gold' when used by itself (e.g., 金メダル - kin medaru, gold medal). While this meaning is related to metal, don't confuse it with its usage as a suffix for general 'money' or 'metal' types.
- DIFFERENT MEANINGS OF 金:
-
- 金 (kin): gold (as a standalone noun)
- 金 (kane): money (when pronounced 'kane' and often preceded by お)
- ～金 (kin): suffix for money types or metal types
By being mindful of these common mistakes, you'll improve your accuracy and fluency when using ～金 in Japanese. Pay attention to context and memorize common compound words that use this suffix.
Fun Fact

Word Origin
Old Chinese 'kīm' (金)
Original meaning: metal, gold
Sino-Tibetan, Chinese loanword into Old JapaneseCultural Context
In Japanese culture, the concept of 'money' (お金 - okane) is often associated with the character 金 (kin/gan/kane). This character appears in many words related to finance, such as 貯金 (chokin - savings) or 料金 (ryoukin - fee). It also carries the meaning of 'gold' and 'metal', highlighting its fundamental role in value and resources. The prominence of this single character to represent such diverse concepts showcases how interconnected these ideas are in the Japanese language and cultural understanding.
Frequently Asked Questions
10 questionsお金 (okane) is the general word for 'money' in Japanese. It's what you'd use in most everyday situations. ～金 is a suffix that means 'money' or 'metal' and is usually attached to other words to form compound nouns, like 料金 (ryōkin - fee) or 借金 (shakkin - debt).
No, you generally can't use ～金 by itself to mean 'money'. It almost always needs to be attached to another kanji or word. Think of it like a building block for other money-related words.
There are many! Some common ones include: 料金 (ryōkin) - fee/charge, 代金 (daikin) - price/charge, 現金 (genkin) - cash, 貯金 (chokin) - savings, 借金 (shakkin) - debt, 奨学金 (shōgakukin) - scholarship money, and 家賃 (yachin) - rent (literally 'house money').
The meaning usually depends on the first part of the compound word. For example, 現金 (genkin) means 'current money' (cash), while 合金 (gōkin) means 'combined metal' (alloy). Context is key, but generally, if the first kanji relates to finance or payment, it's 'money'. If it relates to elements or materials, it's likely 'metal'.
Good question! Some examples include: 合金 (gōkin) - alloy, 金 (kin) - gold (when used alone), 鉄筋 (tekkin) - reinforcing bar (iron + metal). You'll often see it in words related to specific metals.
It's usually pronounced 'kin' (きん) when it's part of a compound word related to money or as a general suffix. However, when it's the word for 'gold' by itself, it's also pronounced 'kin'. It can also be pronounced 'gon' in some names or specific readings, but 'kin' is the most common for the suffix and the word for gold.
You can use 料金 (ryōkin) to ask about or state a fee. For example:
このバスの料金はいくらですか？ (Kono basu no ryōkin wa ikura desu ka?) - How much is the fee for this bus?
入場料金は1000円です。 (Nyūjō ryōkin wa sen-en desu.) - The entrance fee is 1000 yen.
Both relate to money paid. 料金 (ryōkin) is often a 'charge' or 'fee' for a service (e.g., bus fare, entrance fee, utility bill). 代金 (daikin) is the 'price' or 'cost' of an item you buy (e.g., the price of groceries, the cost of a book). Think of 代金 as the money in exchange for a product, and 料金 as the money for a service.
While お金 (okane) is generally polite due to the お prefix, many compound words using ～金 are neutral in politeness. For example, 現金 (genkin - cash) or 貯金 (chokin - savings) are standard. The politeness comes more from the overall sentence structure and other honorifics you might use.
In some very specific contexts, ～金 can refer to 'gold' as a color or even in some historical terms. However, for everyday learners, focusing on 'money' (as a suffix) and 'metal' (as a component of compound words) will cover the vast majority of its usage. 'Gold' as a standalone word (金) is also important.
