Bedeutung
The act of settling a bill.
Kultureller Hintergrund
It is common for the youngest person in a group to handle the physical act of going to the kassa to pay, even if the money comes from an elder. Paying the exact amount without bargaining is sometimes seen as a sign that you are a tourist or very wealthy. Bargaining is the prelude to 'pul to'lash'. In Tashkent, paying via QR code using apps like Payme or Click is now more common in cafes than using physical cash. If you are a guest in an Uzbek home, never offer to 'pul to'lash' for the meal. It is considered an insult to the host's hospitality.
The 'Uchun' Rule
Always use 'uchun' (for) when specifying what you are paying for. 'Non uchun', 'Xizmat uchun'.
Don't say 'Pay'
Avoid using the English word 'pay' even if you forget 'to'lash'. Most Uzbeks will understand, but it sounds very unnatural.
