tooironic Posted May 2, 2012 at 11:49 AM Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 at 11:49 AM I've seen "mortgage" referred to as 房屋贷款, 按揭 and 抵押. What's the difference? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinewind Posted May 3, 2012 at 07:04 AM Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 at 07:04 AM 按揭 is a more recent one when compared with抵押. They all mean “mortgage”. 按揭is a very popular word now and below webpage might help get better understanding. http://baike.baidu.com/view/2047.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted May 3, 2012 at 07:35 AM Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 at 07:35 AM I think - 按揭 ~ housing mortgage the whole deal; 房貸 ~ housing loan (not necessarily a mortgage. Big organisations can grant housing loans to employees with low or no interest); 抵押 ~ the emphasis is on the security, instead of the whole deal.
