To determine the total amount of currency.
Contexto cultural
The 'Ghabeli Nadare' ritual is mandatory. Even if you have the exact cash in hand, expect the seller to refuse it at least once. You must insist. In modern cafes, 'Dong' (splitting) is common among Gen Z. They might say 'بیا دنگی حساب کنیم' (Let's settle it 'dong' style). In the bazaar, 'Hesab kardan' might involve a long discussion about the quality of goods before the final price is even mentioned. The eldest male usually 'hesab's the bill for the entire extended family. It is considered disrespectful for a younger person to try to pay in front of an elder.
