सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Iranian bureaucracy, 'kasb-e etela'at' often requires multiple visits to different offices. It is a test of patience. In Dari, 'malumat' (معلومات) is often used instead of 'etela'at', but 'kasb kardan' remains common in formal speech. Tajik Persian uses Cyrillic script, but the phrase 'иттилоот касб кардан' is still understood in formal contexts. Persian academics use this phrase to distinguish between 'raw data' and 'processed information'.
Sound like a Pro
Use 'darbare-ye' (about) right after 'etela'at' to sound very natural.
Plurality
Never say 'yek etela'at'. If you mean one piece of info, say 'yek khabar' or 'yek nokte'.
