          Teek tak seems more Urdu influenced

          we would say tola tam sam di?

              well sam means " OK, healthy, balanced, acceptable"

              Tam is hard for me to translate ....but it is like how people say "tam tor"....people also say "tam sam" , it has the same application.

                i know what sam means, i think there is no word 'tam' in pashto, may be you get it incorrectly.

                  No there is a word "tam" it's just more of a term of emphasis. I just can't translate it precisely because it conveys a different thing depending on how it is used. But based on the way you write I sense maybe you have a very Urdu-influenced Pashto.

                  For example I have never ever heard a Pashtun say "teek tak" I have heard many Bengali and Indian Muslims say it.

                  Here are some situations "tam" is used

                  Tam Tor = totally black
                  Tam sam = completely OK/well
                  Tam gham= abysmal sadness
                  tam jam= to the brim

                  It's in the Pashto dictionary here
