haler
Definition
Noun: 1. A monetary subunit: A "haler" is a unit of currency. Specifically, it is a subunit of the koruna, the former currency of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. One hundred halers equaled one koruna.
Usage
The word "haler" is used primarily in a historical financial context to refer to a specific coin or unit of account. It is not used in general conversation outside of discussions about the former currencies of these nations. * The price was listed as 50 koruny and 75 halers. * I found some old Czech coins, including a few halers.
Advanced Usage
- The term is used in its plural form "halers" (or sometimes "haléřů" in Czech) when referring to multiple units.
- It is analogous to how "cent" is a subunit of the dollar or "penny" is a subunit of the pound.
Variants and Related Words
- Haléř (noun): The original Czech spelling of the unit.
- Koruna (noun): The main unit of currency for which the haler was a subunit.
Synonyms
- Subunit (noun): A general term for a smaller unit of a currency.

Notes on Meaning
- The word "haler" has a very specific and narrow meaning related to currency. It is not to be confused with the comparative form of the adjective "hale" (meaning healthy), which is "haler".
- As both the Czech and Slovak korunas have been replaced by the euro, the term "haler" is now largely historical.
Noun
-
100 halers equal 1 koruna in Czech Republic
-
100 halers equal 1 koruna Slovakia
