معنی
To break a rule or make an error.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Romania, being 'atent' (careful) is a highly valued trait to avoid 'călcatul pe bec' in social hierarchies. The phrase is equally common in the Republic of Moldova, often used with the same informal flavor. Younger generations might shorten it to just 'a o comite', but 'a călca pe bec' remains the classic 'parental' warning.
Use with 'iar'
Adding 'iar' (again) makes it sound very natural: 'Iar ai călcat pe bec!'
Don't use for accidents
If you drop a glass, don't say you 'călcat pe bec' unless it was a rule not to touch the glass.
