Bedeutung
To be honest.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Honesty is often balanced with 'Lihaz' (respect). Sometimes people might avoid 'sch bolna' if it directly insults a guest or an elder, preferring a polite evasion. Sufi poetry often contrasts 'Sach' (inner truth) with 'Shariat' (outer law). 'Sach bolna' is seen as a way to purify the soul. The oath in Pakistani courts is: 'Main khuda ko hazir nazir jaan kar sach bolunga' (I, keeping God as my witness, will tell the truth). The first moral lesson taught in schools is often 'Hamesha sach bolo' (Always tell the truth), usually through the story of the shepherd boy and the wolf.
The 'Really?' Trick
If you want to ask 'Really?', just say 'Sach?' with a rising intonation. It's the most common way to express surprise.
Past Tense Gender
Don't change 'bola' to 'boli' if you are a girl. The verb agrees with the masculine word 'Sach' in the past tense.
