Money kept in a bank account for future use.
Contexto cultural
Due to high inflation, many Iranians view 'pas-andāz-e bānki' as a temporary holding place rather than a long-term wealth builder. They often move savings into 'hard assets' like gold or real estate. In Afghanistan, banking systems have faced significant challenges. 'Pas-andāz' is often kept in cash or through traditional 'Hawala' systems rather than formal bank accounts. Tajik Persian (Tajiki) might use the word 'Zakhira' more frequently for savings, though 'Pas-andāz' is understood. Remittances from workers abroad form a large part of family savings. Iranians living in the West (USA, Europe) use 'pas-andāz-e bānki' to refer to their 401k or high-yield savings accounts, blending Western financial habits with Persian terminology.
Use the Verb
If you forget the noun, just use 'pas-andāz kardan' (to save). It's very versatile.
Inflation Context
In Iran, mentioning 'bank savings' might trigger a conversation about inflation. Be prepared to hear about 'gold' or 'dollars'!
