Significado
To exchange goods for money.
Contexto cultural
In the bazaar, 'forush kardan' is often followed by the phrase 'Dasht-e avval' (the first sale). Merchants believe the first customer brings the 'barakat' (blessing) for the rest of the day. Modern Tehranis use 'forush kardan' for digital products and startups, showing the phrase's adaptability from ancient carpets to software. In Dari (Persian of Afghanistan), 'forush kardan' is also standard, but you might hear 'sauda kardan' more frequently in informal street markets. In Tajikistan, Cyrillic script is used (фурӯш карدان), but the concept remains identical to Iranian Persian.
The 'Mi' Rule
Always remember the 'mi-' prefix for present tense. Without it, the sentence sounds incomplete or like a command.
Object Marker 'Ra'
If you are selling a specific item, don't forget the 'ra' (را) after the object. E.g., 'In sib RA forush mi-konam'.
