뜻
Inquiring about something.
문화적 배경
Directly asking personal questions (salary, age, marital status) is much more common and less 'rude' than in Western cultures, though it's still best to be polite. In Madrasas or traditional schools, asking questions is seen as a sign of a 'Zahīn' (intelligent) student, but one must never interrupt the teacher. Using 'Aap' (formal you) is mandatory when asking questions to anyone older than you to maintain 'Adab'. Poets often use 'Sawaal' to represent the human condition of seeking meaning in a silent universe.
The 'Se' Rule
Always remember: Person + SE + Sawaal + Poochna. You ask FROM people in Urdu.
No 'Kehna'!
Never say 'Sawaal kehna'. It sounds very broken to native ears.
