Greetings,
I'm looking for the most usual word used for “free of charge”. Is از باد و هوا گرفتم correct, or would that be too poetic?
You may be interested to know that a very common Turkish word for “free of charge” is bedava, which almost certainly comes from باد و هوا .
Best wishes,
Simon

مفت بدستش آوردم
Although all that have been offered are good equivalent and I tried to show that by my agreements but it is very important to reflect <B>it as ش</B> in our renderings as well

باد آورده، باد آوردش
Hi Simon,
If you are looking for using باد in your sentence, the above expression is used. it comes form the proverb: what comes with wind goes with water and means باد آورده را باد مي برد.
