Is it like in English that you gave somebody the money for their

hiring someone, acquiring a sports-player's contract, and so on,
it would mean <b class="">SoH qaDIl,</b> where the speaker has paid money

would be an instance of the prefix trick, the long form of which

waggle their eyebrows, grin, and ask if they're supposed to be a

And while talking about that... is there a word for "hire" a
person,
<br class="">
i.e. charging him to do a paid job? I'm sure that {ngIp} is
strange.

something like <b class="">gheS 'e' DIl</b><i class=""> pay for [someone] to take
