معنی
To use money to buy things or services.
زمینه فرهنگی
The French often value 'l'épargne' (saving) and can be critical of 'la société de consommation' (consumer society). Dépenser is often discussed in terms of 'pouvoir d'achat' (purchasing power). In Quebec, you might hear 'dépenser' just as in France, but informal terms like 'piastres' (pronounced 'piss-t') are used for dollars. In many West African countries, spending money is often linked to social obligations and 'le partage' (sharing) with the extended family.
