معنی
Used to ask someone to stop behaving in an unreasonable or childish way.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Germany, directness is valued, but 'Sei doch nicht so!' allows for a softer, more emotional way to criticize someone's behavior without being overly harsh. Austrians might use this with a more melodic 'Schmäh' (charm), often adding 'geh' at the beginning: 'Geh, sei doch ned so!' In Swiss German, the equivalent would be 'Sieg doch nöd so!', used with the same social function of maintaining group harmony. The 'Berliner Schnauze' (Berlin snout) might use this phrase more frequently and sharply, often as a way to tell someone to stop complaining ('meckern').
The 'Doch' Factor
If you want to sound like a native, stretch out the 'dooooocch' slightly when you're pleading.
Don't Overuse
If you say it too often, you might sound like you're not taking the other person's feelings seriously.
