Significado
Asking about a potential problem or issue.
Contexto cultural
In the capital, this phrase is used rapidly and often rhetorically to bypass Ta'arof. It signals a more 'direct' and 'modern' communication style. In Dari, 'Che mushkil dārad?' is more common than 'Eshkal', though 'Eshkal' is understood. The tone is often more formal. Using this with elders can sometimes be seen as 'Zabān-derāzi' (long-tongued/talking back) if the tone is not extremely polite. It's a standard way to invite critique on a draft or proposal without sounding insecure.
The 'Mage' Boost
Add 'Mage' (مگه) at the beginning to sound more like a native speaker when you are surprised by an objection: 'Mage che eshkali dāre?'
Watch the Tone
If you say it too fast, it can sound like 'So what?'. Keep it slow and inquisitive to remain polite.

Ta'arof Breaker
Use this when someone is being too polite to tell you why they can't do something. It helps get to the truth.
