Signification
A significant amount of money.
Contexte culturel
Due to inflation, 'mablagh-e ziadi' is often discussed in terms of 'gold coins' (Seke) or US Dollars to maintain a sense of real value. In business, mentioning a 'mablagh-e ziadi' is often the start of a long 'Taarof' session where both parties pretend the money doesn't matter. During Ramadan or religious holidays, 'mablagh-e ziadi' is often mentioned in the context of 'Zakat' or 'Khums' (religious taxes/charity). The 'Mehrieh' (dowry) is often a 'mablagh-e ziadi' that is legally binding and discussed heavily during wedding negotiations.
Sound like a native
Use 'مبلغ' instead of 'پول' when talking to bank staff or landlords to sound more respectful and serious.
The Indefinite 'i'
Don't forget the 'i' at the end of 'ziadi'. Saying 'mablagh-e ziad' is grammatically okay but sounds less natural than 'mablagh-e ziadi'.
