المعنى
An urgent request for someone to move or act quickly.
خلفية ثقافية
The concept of 'Iranian Time' means that being late is often socially acceptable, making 'Ajaleh konid' a very common phrase for the person trying to be punctual. In the capital, the extreme traffic makes 'Ajaleh konid' a survival phrase for commuters and taxi passengers. In traditional markets, porters carrying heavy loads will shout 'Ya Allah!' or 'Ajaleh konid!' to clear a path through the crowd. During Ramadan, the time just before 'Iftar' (breaking the fast) is a period of intense hurry as people rush home to eat.
Softening the Blow
Always add 'Lotfan' (Please) before 'Ajaleh konid' to avoid sounding bossy.
The Ta'arof Trap
If someone tells you 'Ajaleh nakonid' (Don't hurry), they might just be being polite. Check the clock yourself!
