en inglés?

[Tomisimo]

Hmmm ¿te refieres a establecer un fondo de dinero común? Si es así, you might use the term to pool (money).

You should to write more information about the you need to know...

Si me refería a poner dinero cuando se sale a un restaurante. Gracias TOM

[bobjenkins]

Creo que "fondo común" significa "pool" como "a collection (en tu caso refería al dinero)"

-------Te doy algos ejemplos
We pooled our money in order to have enough to pay for dinner.
As a group we pooled together our recources and we were able to complete the project on time

Fondo común = colección de recursos (dinero, habilidades, ect.)

Espero que me entiendas

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Os ENTIENDO perfectamente, muchísimas gracias.

We use kitty in the US too for cash pool in places of business, but in gambling as well.

Let's have a whip round (BrE)

[Tomisimo]

Or you can say something like "Let's all pitch in".

[brute]

Let's have a whip round (BrE)

Yes,this is a useful expression BUT

We usually have a "whip round" to collect money for charity or to buy a leaving present for a colleague or friend. For some reason, we would not normally use it to pay a restaurant bill, we use a "kitty" instead.
