뜻
An imperative to move or act quickly.
문화적 배경
In Tehran, life is fast. You will hear 'ajale kon' or 'zood bash' constantly in the Metro or in traffic. It reflects the stress of a mega-city. Never say 'ajale kon' to a guest. It implies you are tired of them. Even if you are late for something, you must wait for the guest to move first. There is a religious saying that haste is from the devil. In traditional shops, rushing a craftsman is seen as disrespectful to their art. Young Iranians use 'Yalla' (Arabic) almost as much as 'ajale kon' when hanging out. It's considered cool and casual.
Soften it with 'dige'
Adding 'dige' at the end (Ajale kon dige!) makes it sound more natural, like 'Hurry up already!'
The 'Ta'arof' Trap
Never rush someone during a meal or a formal visit; it's a major social faux pas.
