Signification
To make something ready for use.
Contexte culturel
Preparation is a sign of respect. If you 'amade konid' something quickly in front of a guest, it might seem rude. True hospitality involves preparing everything before the guest arrives. The phrase is heavily associated with the 'Konkur' (university entrance exam). Students are constantly told to 'amade konid' themselves for this life-changing event. The weeks leading up to Nowruz involve 'Khaneh-tekani' (house shaking). Everyone is told to 'amade konid' the house for the new year. In Iranian business, showing that you have 'amade kardid' (prepared) a lot of data or a long presentation is seen as a sign of commitment and seriousness.
The 'Rā' Rule
Always use 'rā' after the object if it's a specific thing you are preparing (e.g., *the* tea).
Formality Matters
Never use 'amade kon' with someone older than you or a stranger; it sounds like a rude command.
