Giving one's word.
خلفية ثقافية
In villages, 'Zubaan' (giving one's word) is often more important than a written contract. A man who breaks his word loses 'Izzat' (respect). Sufi poets like Bulleh Shah often use the concept of a promise (Vaada) to describe the soul's commitment to the Divine. Punjabi songs frequently use 'Vaada' to talk about loyalty in love or the betrayal of political leaders.
Use 'Vaada reha'
Instead of saying 'I promise', just say 'Vaada reha!' (Promise remains/It's a promise) to sound like a native speaker.
Don't say 'Vaada banana'
English speakers often say 'make a promise'. In Punjabi, always use 'karna' (to do).
