Bedeutung
To be a person employed for wages or salary.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Kārmand' breakfast (Sobhaneh-ye Kārmandi) is a cultural phenomenon where colleagues share cheese, walnuts, and fresh bread in the office. Job security (Amniat-e Shoghli) is the primary reason many Iranians prefer government employment over higher-paying private sector jobs. The 'Fish-e Hoghugh' (payslip) is often a topic of conversation and sometimes a source of dark humor regarding inflation. In Iranian cinema, the 'Kārmand' is often portrayed as a dignified but struggling member of the middle class.
Use with 'Official'
Add 'rasmi' (official) to say 'permanent employee'—a very important distinction in Iran.
Don't use for manual labor
Calling a construction worker a 'kārmand' sounds strange and incorrect.
