Learning notes
Explanation
The expression combines หมุน, “to turn or circulate,” with เงิน, “money.” Its core image is money being moved into lending, investment, inventory, expenses, or repayments rather than left idle. In business it can neutrally describe putting capital back to work. In phrases such as หมุนเงินไม่ทัน, however, it suggests cash-flow pressure and difficulty meeting payments on time.
Usage
It is common when discussing businesses reinvesting sales revenue, people putting money into investments or loans, and individuals trying to cover several expenses or debts with limited cash.
Caution
It does not simply mean “spend money,” and it does not inherently imply illegal activity. “Launder money” is ฟอกเงิน.
