I have heard this word used by many people in many languages, but what does it actually mean?

I know that I am very basharm - with sharm, but what exactly is the function of said sharm? Is it an Islamic concept or a cultural one?Originally posted by Nazar View PostDark Vader Ghost King El Malo Camello Papa

The meaning of sharam varies from culture to culture, household to household. For example, In Kandahar city, "coughing" in front of an elder while walking(no matter how sick you are)is considered "besharam". "Chata wa tokhedalay?"
If we think about it more analytically, there is really no set definition for it.Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

In a Pashtun household, it's sort of beyond manners. It's those boundaries you don't cross. You know, speen stargey, etc.Originally posted by حکیم خان اورګونی View PostEven Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

its used in dari but like admin said, the usage varies.There are people today who think that admitting God’s absolute greatness decreases the value and importance of humans in the creation, as if God and mankind are rivals competing in greatness and power. Meanwhile I feel that whenever our perception of God’s greatness increases, with it we become greater, because we are the creation of a great God.

Not sure if it's the explanation you expected - from linguistic point of view it is combination of preposition be - without (بې) and noun sharm - shame (شرم).
Synonyms:کلک سترگی;بې شرم;مړ سترگی;څيرسترگی;بداخلاقه;فاسد;څلور سترگی;بدسترگی;خوسا;ناولی;بدعمله;چاولۍ;رډ سترگی;ټکسری;بې لحاظه;بې پاسه;سپک;بې عزته;بې آبه;بې پته;بې آبرو;بک سترگی;نېغ سترگی
In the same way you can create other adjectives like بې وفا ، بې طرفي etc.دلته دم او قدم دواړه په حساب دي - پل په لاره غلط مه ږده بې حسابهComment

Thank you Feroz, however my contribution isn't that big because synonyms come from German dictionary

infact its a loud coughing , not the suppressed on . with a certain intention .In Kandahar city, "coughing" in front of an elder while walking(no matter how sick you are)is considered "besharam". "Chata wa tokhedalay?"
If we think about it more analytically, there is really no set definition for it.
it has a really serious and bad intention behind it .Comment
