1 / 4认得Recognize看到这个英文,我知道它大概是什么。I see it, and I know roughly what it is.

Mortgage

MOR-gij

房贷

모기지

Where you'll see it你会在哪里看到

  • 贷款机构(lender)的网站
  • 每个月的房贷账单
  • 房源页的月供试算
  • 银行寄来的信

What it actually means白话说

用来买房子的贷款。你向银行或贷款机构借一大笔钱付给卖方,之后每个月还一部分本金和利息;房子本身是这笔贷款的担保。

Common mistake常见的误会

Mortgage 的 t 不发音。另外,申请表上的 Monthly Rent / Mortgage 是问你每个月付多少房租或房贷,租房的人填的是房租。

Often right next to it旁边常出现的单词

  • Lender贷款机构 대출 기관
  • Loan贷款 대출
  • Monthly payment每月还款 월 상환금
  • Principal本金 원금
  • Interest利息 이자

Racco 说Racco saysMortgage 里有一个不发音的 t,和一笔会陪你很多年的月供。前者可以不管,后者不行。
