entry for money taken from account
A record in a bank or company account that shows money going out of the account.
Vzorec užití:
a debit of [amount] from [account]
Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "debit" with "debt". "Debit" is a record or movement of money in an account, while "debt" is money that someone owes. They may also think "debit" always means something bad; in accounting, it is a neutral technical term that depends on the type of account.
Synonyma
charge (Often used in everyday English for an amount added to a bill or account; less strictly accounting-focused than "debit".)
Antonyma
credit (In accounting, a credit is an entry that records money coming into an account, the opposite of a debit.)

to take money from account
To take money from an account and write this in the bank or company records.
Vzorec užití:
to debit [amount] from [account]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say "debit to my account" instead of the more natural "debit my account". They may also confuse "debit" with "withdraw"; "withdraw" focuses on the person taking the money out in cash, while "debit" focuses on the account record or electronic movement.
Synonyma
charge (More general and common in everyday speech for putting a cost on someone’s bill or card; "debit" highlights the accounting action of taking money from the account.)
Antonyma
credit (To credit an account is to put money into it or record money coming in, which is the opposite movement from debiting it.)

payment using a debit card
A type of payment that uses your debit card and takes money from your bank account right away.
Vzorec užití:
to pay by debit
Častá chyba:
Learners may think "debit" and "credit" have the same meaning at the checkout. In many stores, "credit" means paying by credit card and "debit" means paying by debit card, even if both cards come from the same bank. Learners also sometimes say "pay in debit" instead of the more natural "pay by debit" or "pay with debit".
Synonyma
debit card payment (More explicit and slightly longer; clearly names the card, while "debit" alone is a shortened form used mainly at payment terminals or in casual payment talk.)
Antonyma
credit (Refers to paying with a credit card, where the bank pays first and you pay the bank later, unlike debit where the money comes directly from your account.)
