[ROBINDESBOIS]

en inglés?

[Tomisimo]

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

[CrOtALiTo]

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

[ROBINDESBOIS]

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.

You would say: Let's put the money in a kitty.
o
Let's set up a kitty. (signfica ir a la tienda, comprar la caja y establecer
un sistema de contabilidad sencilla)

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

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.
