To be employed or perform tasks at a specific location.
Contexte culturel
Working in the public sector (Kār-e dowlati) is traditionally seen as more prestigious and secure than the private sector, often leading to better marriage prospects. In Dari Persian, 'kār kardan' is also the standard term, but you might hear 'wazifa dāshtan' (having a duty/job) more frequently in formal settings. Tajik Persian uses 'kor kardan'. Due to Russian influence, the structure of workplaces and titles might differ, but the core collocation remains. In places like 'Tehrangeles', speakers might mix English: 'Man dar Google kār mikonam' is very common, keeping the Persian structure but using the English brand name.
Sound like a local
Use 'tuye' instead of 'dar' when talking to friends. It sounds much more natural and less like a textbook.
Don't forget the 'mikonam'
Persian requires the full compound verb. You can't just say 'Man dar bank kār'. You must add the conjugated 'kardan'.
