Meaning
To gain income through work or other means.
Cultural Background
The concept of 'Rizq-e Halal' (honest sustenance) is deeply tied to 'pool dar-âvardan.' Working hard is seen as a form of worship. In the traditional bazaar, 'pool dar-âvardan' is often discussed in terms of 'barakat' (blessing). It's not just about the amount, but the blessing within the money. Due to economic shifts, 'pool dar-âvardan' is now frequently associated with 'shoghl-e dovom' (second jobs) like online sales.
Use the present continuous
When talking about your current job, use 'dâram pool dar-mi-âram' to sound more natural.
Don't say 'Pool sâkhtan'
Even though English says 'make money', Persian never uses 'sâkhtan' (build) for this.
