How it's used
Primarily used in professional or business contexts, this term refers to the formal process of balancing books or finalizing financial records. While it can be used for personal debts, it often carries a sense of official closure for a specific accounting period. It is distinct from the more casual act of just checking numbers, which is often referred to as 對數.
Examples
The company will only settle the accounts next month.
When will you help me settle this business transaction?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with the general act of paying a bill, but it specifically implies the calculation and reconciliation of multiple items or a period of time rather than just handing over cash.
