用法筆記
Almost always used before a noun (a cashable cheque, a cashable bond). When it follows 'be', the sentence is typically about whether a financial document is still valid for exchange (the bond is still cashable, the cheque is no longer cashable). In everyday speech, people more often use the verb 'cash' than this adjective; 'cashable' is more common in formal or written financial contexts.
