پشت کسی بودن

poshte kasi budan

To support someone

Significado

To stand by or provide assistance to another person.

🌍

Contexto cultural

In Iran, family is the ultimate 'posht-e kasi budan'. Even if a family member is wrong, others will often stand behind them in public and correct them only in private. In Afghan Dari, the phrase is also common and carries a strong sense of tribal and communal honor (Nang). Standing behind someone is a matter of reputation.

🎯

Use the Suffix

To sound like a native, use 'poshtetam' instead of 'posht-e man hastam'. It's much more natural.

⚠️

Don't add 'Sar'

Adding 'sar' (head) changes the meaning to 'behind my head' which often implies gossip.
