Difference between revisions of "Khaltura (USSR)"

The practice of moonlighting is global, but the way the side job is named in different languages reflects the culture of the country and its attitude to labour. Within the English-speaking world, the closest word to ''khaltura'' is ‘gig’, ‘side gig,’ ‘hustle,’ defined as ‘a job, often a temporary one’ (Cambridge Dictionary 2020a) or ‘a piece of work or a job that you get paid for doing in addition to doing your main job’ (Cambridge Dictionary 2020b). In Vietnam, the practice of taking a second job is called ''nghề tay trái'', which means ‘left-hand job’, implying inferiority to the main job This negative connotation is also found in the second meaning of ''khaltura'' in Russian. Brazilian Portuguese also has an informal word for a side gig – ''bico''. It does not have a direct translation but designates a quick informal job for extra money, with no contract and consequently no tax obligations. In some languages, ''khaltura'' is simply called an extra or second job: ''trabajo extra'' (''secundario'') in Mexican Spanish, ''ekstra (ikinci) iş'' in Turkish. In Romanian, a side job is called ''pe langa'' – which means ‘next to’. In the Tunisian dialect of Arabic, ''khaltura'' is called ''dabbara el’-raas'', which means to organize one’s head or behaviour (in a way that would yield extra income). See also [[rad na crno]].
