To be scared

To feel a sudden wave of fear, anxiety, or apprehension.

🌍

문화적 배경

In Iran, it is very common to describe emotions through the 'Del'. If someone says 'Teh delam ro khāli nakon', they are asking you not to discourage them or make them lose hope/fearful. Classical poetry often uses the heart (Del) as a vessel. An 'empty heart' in modern slang is fear, but in ancient poetry, it could sometimes mean a heart free of worldly desires. Context is key! When watching a horror movie with Iranian friends, you will hear this phrase constantly. It's the standard way to react to 'jump scares'.

💡

The 'Whoosh' Rule

If you feel a 'whoosh' in your body, use this phrase. It's very physical!

⚠️

Don't use for Sadness

If your pet dies, you are 'Ghamgin' (sad), you don't usually say 'Teh delam khāli shod' unless it was a sudden shock.

It's a bit informal. Better to say 'Negarān shodam' (I became worried) in a very formal meeting.

'Tarsidam' means 'I got scared'. 'Teh delam khāli shod' describes the *feeling* of the scare.
