簿仔
bou2 zai2bù zǐ
English
- (noun) small note book; (noun with figurative meaning) a bankbook
- passbook; literally: red booklet, usually used by the older generation
粵語 — Cantonese
- 一本由銀行發出,俾客户睇返自己户口錢銀紀錄嘅簿。因為以前嘅存摺封面多數係紅色,於是俗稱為「紅簿仔」。由於近年銀行服務電子化,而且好多銀行改為郵寄或電郵月結單俾客户,所以紅簿仔已經逐漸消失;係較通俗同埋老派嘅叫法。(量詞:本)
Examples
老人家睇唔慣電子帳單,所以啲銀行會出本紅簿仔俾佢哋睇返自己嘅户口紀錄。
The elderly people do not get used to checking the electronic bills, the banks therefore issue them a passbook for their record.
