Meaning of 账户
Definitions from CC-CEDICT.
- (bank, computer etc) account
How to use 账户
账户 is used for bank accounts, online accounts, and other registered accounts. It often follows words like 银行 (yínháng) bank or 开 (kāi) open. Example: 我想开一个银行账户。(Wǒ xiǎng kāi yí gè yínháng zhànghù.) I want to open a bank account.
账 (zhàng) means accounts or money records, and 户 (hù) means a household or door, like in 窗户 (chuānghu) window. Picture each account as its own little door where your money records live.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 账户 with 账号 (zhànghào). 账号 is the account number or username, while 账户 is the account itself. Also, do not write 帐 instead of 账 in modern simplified money contexts, since 账 with the 贝 (money) side is the standard form.
