Bedeutung

To use money to buy things or pay for services.

🌍

Kultureller Hintergrund

The concept of 'Kharj-e-khoneh' refers to the monthly allowance or budget for household expenses, traditionally managed by the head of the household. In the bazaar, 'pool kharj kardan' is often preceded by long negotiations. Spending money without haggling (Chaneh zadan) is seen as a sign of being an inexperienced shopper. During Nowruz, Iranians spend significant amounts on 'Aidi' (gifts of money) and new clothes ('Lebas-e No'). It is the peak spending season in Iran. When someone else spends money on you, it is culturally required to offer to pay yourself several times before accepting their generosity.

💡

Use with 'Baraye'

Always use the preposition 'baraye' (for) to specify what you spent money on.

⚠️

Avoid 'Spend Time'

Remember, you cannot 'kharj' time in Persian. Use 'vaght gozashtan' instead.

The 'Koli' trick

Add 'koli' before 'pool' to sound like a native speaker when saying you spent 'a ton' of money.

If someone says 'Ghabele nadare', don't take it literally! You still need to 'pool kharj koni'.
