To give money in exchange for goods or services.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
When paying, expect the 'Ghabele nadāre' ritual. You must insist on paying even if they refuse initially. Giving money (Eidi) is a major tradition. The money should ideally be new and crisp, often kept inside a Quran before being given. Similar to Iran, 'pool dādan' is used, but the currency (Afghani) and some social etiquettes around charity (Zakat) are very prominent. In Tajik Persian (Tajiki), the phrase is also used, though they might use 'pul dodan' with a slightly different accent and Cyrillic script.
The 'o' shortcut
In casual Persian, add 'o' to 'pool' (pool-o) to mean 'the money'. It makes you sound much more native.
Don't be too blunt
Saying 'Pool bede!' (Give money!) can sound rude. Use 'Bebakhshid...' (Excuse me...) to soften it.

Master the Ta'arof
If someone says 'Ghabele nadāre', immediately reply with 'Khahesh mikonam' and offer the money again.
