Bedeutung
To irritate or annoy someone greatly.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Iran, complaining about 'nerves' is a common social lubricant. It allows people to bond over shared frustrations like traffic or bureaucracy without being overly aggressive. Younger generations in Tehran almost exclusively use 'Ro mokh' (on the brain) instead of 'Ruye asâb'. It sounds more modern and 'cool'. Siblings in Iran use this phrase constantly. It is the standard way to tell a brother or sister to stop bothering you.
Use 'Ru' for speed
In casual speech, always say 'Ru asâbam' instead of 'Ruye asâbam'. It sounds much more native.
Don't use with elders
It can sound like you are complaining too much. Use 'nārāhat shodam' (I became upset) instead.
