뜻
To be unable to keep secrets, to talk too much or spread rumors.
문화적 배경
In Iran, 'Ta'arof' and social face are important. Calling someone 'dahān-laq' directly to their face is quite a strong criticism, though it's often used behind people's backs to warn others. Classical poets like Saadi often contrast the 'Dahān-laq' with the 'Rāzdār' (secret-keeper), viewing the latter as a sign of spiritual and intellectual maturity. In Iranian comedies (Mehman-e Maman, etc.), there is often a 'dahān-laq' character who drives the plot by accidentally revealing a hidden truth at the worst possible moment.

Don't be rude
