뜻
Stating that one is busy and has many tasks to complete.
문화적 배경
Saying 'I have work' is a standard way to end a phone call politely. It prevents the other person from feeling like you are bored of them. The phrase is identical in Dari, though the pronunciation of 'kheyli' might sound more like 'khayli'. In Tajik, they might use 'Kori ziode doram', using the Cyrillic script: Ман кори зиёде дорам. Second-generation Iranians often mix this with English: 'I have so much kār today!'
