Contexto cultural

It is common to call multiple times if someone doesn't pick up, but 'Zang-e mozahem' (nuisance calling) is a known social taboo. In Dari, 'zang zadan' is also used, but 'telfon kardan' is slightly more frequent in urban Kabul. The 'Zang' is the symbol of the school period. 'Zang-e aval' means first period.

🎯

The 'Be' Rule

Always remember: Person + BE + Zang Zadan. Without 'be', the sentence is incomplete.

⚠️

Rusting vs Calling

Context is king. If you're talking about a car in the rain, 'zang zadan' means rust. If you're holding a phone, it means calling.
