端数料金

Grammar & Usage

noun

neutral

How it works

This is a compound noun, where '端数' (duān shù) refers to an odd number, fractional part, or the remainder, and '料金' (liào jīn) means 'charge' or 'fee'. Together, it refers to a charge that is not a round number, often a small leftover amount or an adjustment. While '料金' is more commonly used in Japanese, it is sometimes adopted in Chinese contexts, particularly in business or financial discussions, but '费用' or '收费' is more standard Chinese for 'fee'.

Sample sentences

Quick facts

origin:While understandable in Chinese, '料金' (ryōkin) is primarily a Japanese word for 'fee' or 'charge'. In standard Mandarin Chinese, '费用' (fèi yòng) or '收费' (shōu fèi) would be more common. '端数' means 'odd number', 'fractional part', or 'remainder'. The combination might indicate a direct translation or borrowing from Japanese business terminology.
