内うち金きん

noun

deposit; money paid on account; bargain money

Refers to a partial payment made in advance to secure a transaction or as a down payment. The distinction between a general deposit and bargain money is slight; both are covered here.

• 契けい約やく時じに内うち金きんとして5ご万まん円えんを支し払はらった。

  I paid 50,000 yen as a deposit at the time of the contract.
