فَاتُورَة
فَاتُورَة 30秒了解
- Fatura means 'invoice' or 'bill' in Arabic.
- It is a feminine noun with the plural 'fawātīr'.
- Commonly used in restaurants, shops, and for utility payments.
- It is a borrowed word from the Italian 'fattura'.
- Daily Use
- In everyday life, people use this word when checking prices or confirming what they owe. It is less formal than a contract but more formal than a verbal agreement.
هَلْ يُمْكِنُنِي الحُصُولُ عَلَى فَاتُورَة ضَرِيبِيَّة؟ (Can I have a tax invoice?)
يَجِبُ تَدْقِيقُ الـفَاتُورَة قَبْلَ الدَّفْعِ. (The invoice must be audited before payment.)
- Business Context
- In B2B (Business to Business) environments, the 'fatura' is often sent electronically and includes payment terms like 'Net 30'.
- Verb Agreement
- When using verbs with 'fatura', ensure the verb is conjugated correctly if the 'fatura' is the subject, though it is usually the object. Example: 'The invoice arrived' is 'وصلت الفاتورة'.
أَحْتَاجُ إِلَى فَاتُورَة لِكَيْ أَسْتَرِدَّ المَبْلَغَ مِنَ الشَّرِكَةِ. (I need an invoice so I can get a refund from the company.)
تَمَّ إِرْسَالُ الـفَاتُورَة عَبْرَ البَرِيدِ الإِلِكْتُرُونِيِّ. (The invoice was sent via email.)
- Prepositions
- Commonly used with 'fī' (in the bill) or 'bi' (by/with the bill). For example, 'The total is in the bill' (المجموع في الفاتورة).
هَلْ يُمْكِنُكَ تَقْسِيمُ الـفَاتُورَة بَيْنَنَا؟ (Can you split the bill between us?)
- In Restaurants
- This is perhaps the most common place for travelers. Asking 'Al-fatura, law samaht' (The bill, please) is a standard phrase.
لَوْ سَمَحْتَ، أَحْضِرْ لِي الـفَاتُورَة. (Please, bring me the bill.)
ارْتَفَعَتْ فَاتُورَة الطَّاقَةِ فِي الشِّتَاءِ. (The energy bill increased in the winter.)
- At the Airport
- Customs officers might ask for the 'fatura' of expensive items you are carrying to determine import duties.
- Fatura vs. Hisab
- 'Hisab' means 'account' or 'calculation'. In a restaurant, 'Al-hisab' is common for 'the check', while 'Al-fatura' is the physical document. Using 'fatura' to mean your bank account is a major error.
خَطَأ: أُرِيدُ فَتْحَ فَاتُورَة فِي البَنْكِ. (Wrong: I want to open an invoice in the bank.)
صَحِيح: اسْتَلَمْتُ الـفَاتُورَة، لَكِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَلِمِ الوَصْلَ بَعْدُ. (Correct: I received the invoice, but I haven't received the receipt yet.)
- Spelling Errors
- Sometimes learners forget the 'alif' after the 'fa' or the 'waw' after the 'ta'. The correct spelling is ف-ا-ت-و-ر-ة.
- Fatura vs. Qaima
- A 'fatura' is a legal/financial document. A 'qaima' is just a list. You can have a 'qaima' of items that then becomes a 'fatura' once prices and taxes are added.
سَأُرْسِلُ لَكَ كَشْفَ حِسَابٍ شَهْرِيًّا. (I will send you a monthly statement of account.)
هَذَا إِيصَالُ الدَّفْعِ الخَاصُّ بِكَ. (This is your payment receipt.)
- Fatura vs. Isal
- The 'fatura' says 'you owe this'. The 'isal' says 'you paid this'. It's the difference between a request and a confirmation.

Gender Agreement
Always make sure your adjectives are feminine when describing 'fatura'. Say 'fatura kabira' not 'fatura kabir'.
Long Vowels
Don't rush the word. It's 'fā-tū-ra'. The long 'a' and 'u' are essential for being understood correctly.
The Plural
Memorize the plural 'fawātīr' early. It follows the pattern of 'mafātīh' (keys) and is very common in daily life.
The Bill Fight
In social settings, be prepared for someone to insist on paying the 'fatura'. It is a sign of hospitality.
Tax Invoices
If you are in the Gulf, always ask for a 'fatura daribiyya' if you need it for business expenses, as VAT rules are strict.
Italian Roots
Remembering that it comes from Italian 'fattura' can help you remember the meaning if you know any Romance languages.
Idafa Construction
When writing 'the bill of...', remember to change the 'ة' to a 'ت' if you are using full vowel markings (faturatu...).
Cashier Talk
Listen for 'Badak fatura?' (Levant) or 'Ayiz fatura?' (Egypt) when shopping; they are asking if you want the receipt.

常见问题
10 个问题No, it is a loanword from the Italian 'fattura'. It became common in Arabic during the 19th century as modern trade practices were adopted.
The most common plural is 'fawātīr' (فَوَاتِير), which is a broken plural. You might occasionally hear 'faturat', but 'fawātīr' is more natural.
The most common and polite way is to say 'Al-fatura, law samaht' (The bill, please) or 'Al-hisab, law samaht'.
It is feminine because it ends with a 'ta marbuta' (ة). Therefore, adjectives describing it must also be feminine.
In casual speech, people sometimes use it for both, but technically a receipt is 'wasl' or 'isal'. It's better to use the specific terms.
It means 'tax invoice.' This is a specific type of invoice required by law in many countries for VAT (Value Added Tax) purposes.
You say 'faturat al-kahraba' (فَاتُورَة الكَهْرَبَاء). Notice the 't' sound at the end of 'fatura' in this phrase.
Yes, 'fatura' is understood and used across the entire Arab world, from Morocco to Iraq, in both formal and informal contexts.
Not really. In English we say 'to bill someone', but in Arabic we say 'asdar fatura' (to issue an invoice) or 'hammala' (to charge).
It is called 'fatura shakliyya' (فَاتُورَة شَكْلِيَّة), which literally means 'formal' or 'outward' invoice.
