Chinese term or phrase: 兌現
Context: 以十五日內***兌現***之即期支票支付

What does it mean? My literate understanding is a cashier's check that is valid for 15 days (void after 15 days), but that doesn't make sense, does it (why would anyone want the check paid to them to be valid only for 15 days)? Anyone help? Thanks!

Explanation:
Hi Shaunna,

兌現=to cash eg. a check

I think it means that the payer has to pay by a valid check (a check that can be cashed immediately, as opposed to a postdated check) within 15 days.

It does not say that the check is only valid for 15 days. But we can assume the payee intends to cash it within 15 days, hence this contract term.

Explanation:
Chinese is a funny language, n the Taiwanese "version" of Mandarin is even funnier sometimes. Here u have typical situation when two words r put together, forming one. First is then, 兌換, which means "exchange (money)", and the second is 現金 -"cash". So, put them together and u got "cash (the checks, what u can read from the conext)".

it should be to "to cash", not "to cach". Sorry.
