noun
rental fee; rent; hire charge
Refers to the money paid for renting or hiring something, such as equipment, a vehicle, or a space. Not typically used for real estate rent (家賃 is more common for that).
自転車の借り賃は一日五百円です。
The rental fee for a bicycle is 500 yen per day.
借り賃が高いので、買ったほうが
The hire charge is high, so it might be cheaper to buy it.
Standard spelling with okurigana, clearly indicating the reading.
Abbreviated kanji form; less common but still used.
Compound of 借り (kari, 'borrowing') and 賃 (chin, 'fee, wages'). The reading かりちん is a straightforward combination of the kun'yomi of 借りる and the on'yomi of 賃.
