뜻
A polite request for additional details or clarification on a topic.
문화적 배경
In Iran, asking for more explanation is a key part of 'Ta'arof'. It shows you are giving the speaker 'face' by showing interest in their knowledge. In Dari, the phrase is almost identical: 'Bishtar towzih meten?'. The politeness levels are very similar to Iranian Persian. In Tajiki, you might hear 'Ziyodtar sharh medihed?'. They use 'Ziyodtar' instead of 'Bishtar' more frequently. In universities, students are encouraged to ask for 'towzih'. It is seen as a sign of a good student, not a struggling one.
Use 'Kami' to soften it
Saying 'Kami bishtar towzih midehid?' (Could you explain a *little* more?) makes you sound like a native speaker.
Don't forget 'Mi-'
Without 'mi-', the verb 'dehid' sounds like a command. Always include 'mi-' for requests.
