Warikan (割り勘 - Dutch Treat) Part 3

Today I'd like to introduce expressions for "warikan" (割り勘 - dutch treat) in various countries.

In Italy, it is called "alla romana," which translated into "to pay like people of Roma."

In Romania, it is called "plăti nemțește," which is tsanlated into "to pay by German style."

In China, a senior or a person who invite others usually pay the all amount.

However, it seems that recent young Chinese tend to split the bill, and it's called "AA-sei" (AA制 - Algebraic Average System).

Also, it's especially called "Japanese AA-sei" (日本式AA制) when they want to imply a stingy/petty impression.

割り勘 Part 3

今日は、さまざま国の「割り勘」に相当する表現を紹介します。

イタリアでは「ローマ風に支払う」を意味する "alla romana" が使われます。

ルーマニアでは「ドイツ人式支払い」を意味する "plăti nemțește" が使われます。

中国では、基本的に年長者や食事に誘った人が全額支払うことが多いです。

しかし最近では学生を中心に、割り勘による支払いも増加しており、「AA制」（"Algebraic Average System" の意）と呼ばれているようです。

特に、「AA制」に「ケチ」などの印象を持たせる場合は、「日本式AA制」と呼ぶそうです。
