私房钱

• 拼音: sī fáng qián
• 汉字拆解: 私 = 禾 (grain) + 厶 (private) — private, personal; 房 = 户 (door) + 方 (square) — room, house; 钱 = 钅(metal radical) + 戋 — money, currency

含义

Private savings; secret money; funds kept aside without the knowledge of one's spouse or family. A colloquial term with a playful or reproachful tone.

A widely used colloquial expression referring to money one partner keeps hidden from the other, or funds an individual sets aside secretly for personal use. Not inherently negative — can be affectionate or playful — but may carry connotations of deceit depending on context. Very common in everyday Chinese conversation.
