How to say "settled" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 済みずみCommon
    noun (suffix), nounCovers 'settled' meaning a matter is concluded — arranged, taken care of, completed. Use it when the point is that something is done and needs no further attention.
    For code-type locks that don't need a key, there are 'free dial' systems where you can set any number you like, and fixed types where the number is set in advance.
  • 支払い済みしはらいずみCommon
    nounCovers 'settled' only in the financial sense: a bill, invoice, or debt is settled because it has been paid. It does not cover the broader sense of a matter being concluded.
    もしも、すでにお支払しはらい済ずみでしたら、どうぞこのメールは無視むししてください。↗
    Should you have settled the account since this mail was written, please ignore our reminder.
  • 落ち着いたおちついたCommon
    prenominal modifierCovers 'settled' as a state rather than an action: something fixed or established, no longer changing. Use it when 'settled' describes conditions or circumstances, not a completed task.

Use 「済み」 when a matter is settled in the sense of done or taken care of, 「支払い済み」 for a bill or debt that is settled by payment, and 「落ち着いた」 for settled conditions that are fixed or established.
