Significado
To give currency in exchange for goods or services.
Contexto cultural
The ritual of Ta'arof is essential. When paying, expect the other person to refuse money initially. You must insist. In Dari Persian, 'pool dādan' is also used, but 'paysa dādan' is a very common regional variation for 'money'. Tajik Persian (Tajiki) uses 'pul dodan'. Because of Russian influence, formal contexts might use different structures, but 'pul' remains the word for money. In traditional bazaars, 'pool dādan' often follows a long period of 'chane zadan' (haggling).
Use 'Pool-esh'
When paying for a specific item, add '-esh' (it) to 'pool'. Say 'Pool-esh rā dādam' (I paid for it).
The Ta'arof Trap
Never walk away after the first 'Ghabele nadare'. It's a test of your manners!

Cash is King
