معنی
Classroom instruction.
زمینه فرهنگی
Students often stand up when a teacher enters and wait for the command 'Kitab kholain' before sitting or starting work. The phrase is used with extreme solemnity when referring to the Holy Quran or Hadith books. It is common to see people kissing a book if it accidentally falls, showing the 'Adab' associated with 'Kitab'. In dramas, a teacher saying 'Kitab kholain' often signals a transition to a serious or boring scene for the protagonist.
Use 'Aap'
Always assume you should use the '-ain' ending unless you are 100% sure you are in a casual setting.
Gender Neutrality
Don't worry about the gender of the person you are talking to; 'kholain' works for everyone!
