How it's used

Focuses specifically on the act of returning money to a customer after a purchase. While it functions as a verb, it is often used in the context of negotiating a return or complaining about a faulty product. It carries a slightly more direct tone than the more formal term 退款.

This shirt has a flaw, I would like a refund.

Common phrases

jiu1要kau4求teoi3退cin2錢

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 找錢, which refers to giving change to a customer after a cash transaction. 退錢 implies a reversal of the entire purchase due to dissatisfaction or error.
