معنی
To make a payment using physical money.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Egypt, cash is the primary way of life. Even for large purchases, people often carry envelopes of cash. The term 'Kash' is very common in Cairo. While very modern, 'Cash on Delivery' is still the preferred way for online shopping due to a historical preference for inspecting goods before paying. Due to banking crises in some areas, cash (especially in USD or local currency) has become the only reliable way to transact. In the Souqs of Marrakesh, paying in cash is expected and is the starting point for any 'Mousawama' (bargaining).
Always carry small change
When you 'tadfa' naqdan', vendors often struggle with large bills. Carry 'fakka' (small change).
Right hand only
Always hand over the cash with your right hand; using the left is considered impolite in many Arab cultures.
