### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah it is silver weighed out as payment, since there were no coins yet. It is used for buying food, for paying debts and for redeeming people. Interpretation: The Torah forbids charging interest to a fellow Israelite who is poor. Tradition reads this as a law of kindness that helps a person in need. In the primary lessons: an amount owned, spent, earned or saved, counted in dollars (or pounds, euros, cents); in everyday life: pocket money, saving, prices, change; phrases «save money», «spend money», «make money», «pocket money», «money box», «waste of money»; in casual talk «got any cash?», «10 bucks», «a fiver», «quid», «dosh»; in rough talk «d'you think I'm made of money?», «total waste of money»; in the exam voice «total expenditure incurred», «available funds», «the monetary sum remaining»

### note

The thing counted, measured in dollars. «spent» takes away, «earned», «saved», «got» add. Trap: «how much money» asks for dollars, not a number of things bought. «Money» is uncountable: «much money», «a lot of money», not «many moneys». Slang: a buck is a dollar, a quid is a pound, a fiver is 5, a tenner is 10. «expenditure» means money spent, «funds» means money you have. Safety: never give money or card numbers to strangers online.
