To give money back to someone to cover what they already paid, usually for work or official costs.
사용 패턴：
[someone] reimburse[s] [someone] for [something]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners often confuse the direction of "reimburse" and say things like *"I reimbursed from my company"* instead of the passive form *"I was reimbursed by my company"*. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition, for example *"reimburse someone of their costs"* instead of the correct *"reimburse someone for their costs"*. Learners also sometimes use it like a noun (*"I got a reimburse"*) instead of the correct noun "reimbursement".

자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes do not see that this use is more formal and often legal or insurance-related, and they may prefer simpler words like "pay" or "compensate" in everyday speech. They may also confuse who is reimbursed and who pays, especially in passive sentences like *"Hospitals are reimbursed by the government"*.
