Meaning & Usage
01
"liar"
A liar — 'dorough' (lie) + 'gu' (sayer). In a culture built on ta'arof (where polite exaggeration is expected), being called an actual liar cuts through the social performance and says: this isn't ta'arof, you're genuinely dishonest. It's a character assault that matters in a society where personal reputation is everything.
Examples in the Wild
'Dorough-gu! Man khodam didam!' — liar! I saw it myself! 'Adam-e dorough-gu-yi-e' — he's a lying person (character judgment).
