peer agreement (net): +2will it bounce? Explanation: We could also say: Are you (is he/she etc) good for it? Given your whole question, this is what we would say in English in a similar situation. "mahal" itself can mean area/room/space...in this context it literally means the account has "room" to pay the amount of the check. |
