Signification
To get confused, lose one's temper, or mix things up.
Contexte culturel
Among young people in Tehran, 'qâti kardan' is often used to describe someone who is 'tripping' or acting weirdly, not just angry. In Iranian offices, saying a machine has 'qâti'ed is a polite way to excuse a delay without taking personal blame. Parents often use 'qâti pâti' to scold children for messy rooms, emphasizing the lack of discipline. While common, using this phrase with elders can be seen as slightly disrespectful because it's 'low' slang.
The 'Glitch' Trick
If you don't know the technical word for a computer error in Persian, just say 'qâti karde.' Every Iranian will understand you perfectly.
Anger Management
Be careful using 'qâti kardan' about your boss or elders. It can sound like you're calling them unstable.
