If money is repayable, you have to pay it back — often by a certain date. A loan is repayable; a gift is not. Banks, scholarships with strings, and contracts love this word. ‘Repayable in five years’ means the clock is running: by then the money must have returned. The word always has that ‘back’ inside it. You received the money, and now it has a way home. Students mix it with payable, which is wider: a bill is payable (you must pay it), but that bill is not always money you borrowed. Repayable is for money that was given to you and must come back. It is an adjective sitting in front of money, a loan, a debt.
應償還的、須還的(款項、貸款)
