Signification
Receiving payment for work or services.
Contexte culturel
There is a strong emphasis on 'Sthir' (stable) income. Earning money through a government job or a stable company is often valued more than high-risk business earning. Earning money is often tied to the monsoon and harvest. The phrase 'पैसे येणे' (money coming) is used synonymously with a good crop yield. In the fast-paced life of Mumbai, 'पैसे कमवणे' is often shortened in slang to 'कमाई' or 'धंदा'. The focus is on speed and volume. The Varkari tradition teaches that one should earn money only through honest means. This is called 'Shuddh Kamai' (pure earning).
Past Tense Agreement
Always remember that 'Paise' is plural. So in the past tense, it's always 'कमवले' (kamavle), never 'कमवला' (kamavla).
Don't use 'Make'
Avoid saying 'Paise Banavane'. It sounds like you are printing counterfeit money!
