Meaning
To make or cause loud sounds.
Cultural Background
In densely populated cities like Tehran, 'saro-seda' is a common topic in 'Sākhtemān' (building) management. Rules about noise are often posted in elevators. A 'sholoogh' (noisy/busy) house is often seen as a sign of a warm, hospitable home. However, guests are still expected to not create 'unpleasant' noise. The term is frequently used in Iranian newspapers to describe public outcry or 'janjāl' (scandal).
Use 'Ijad' for Impact
If you want to sound like a professional journalist or a serious complainant, use 'ijad kardan' instead of just 'kardan.'
Don't use for 'Calling'
Remember, if you want to say 'The teacher called the student,' do NOT use this phrase. Use 'Seda kard.'
