How it's used

While 結賬 is understood in all contexts, it carries a slightly more formal or business-like tone compared to the ubiquitous 埋單. You will hear 埋單 used almost exclusively in restaurants and casual settings, whereas 結賬 might appear in more professional environments or when discussing the final settlement of accounts.

Examples

sik6食jyun4完faan6飯mei6未aa4呀？ngo5我dei6哋heoi3去git3結zoeng3賬laa1啦。

Have you finished eating? Let's go pay the bill.

nei5你bong1幫ngo5我git3結zo2咗zoeng3賬mei6未aa4呀？

Common phrases

heoi3去git3結zoeng3賬

go to pay the bill

bong1幫ngo5我git3結zoeng3賬

pay the bill for me

Common mistake

Learners often use 結賬 in casual dining scenarios where 埋單 is the natural choice. Using 結賬 at a local cha chaan teng can sound slightly stiff or overly precise, as if you are settling a formal invoice rather than just paying for your meal.
