意味
To chase someone or something persistently
文化的背景
In rural Punjab, 'Zidd' (stubbornness) is a major personality trait. This idiom is the linguistic embodiment of that trait. In Canada or the UK, Punjabi parents often use this for their children's education or marriage prospects. Many Punjabi songs use this phrase to describe a lover's persistence or a rival's enmity. In local markets, shopkeepers might use this for a customer who bargains too much.
Use for Goals
To sound like a native, use this to describe your dedication to a hobby or career. It sounds very passionate.
Don't over-use
If you use it for every small thing, it loses its impact. Save it for truly persistent situations.
