تکرگل

What it means

تکرگل (tekargol) means dressed up, spruced up, looking fresh and sharp. It is a casual social-media compression of the older rhyming compound ترگل ورگل (targol vargol), which Dehkhoda defines as fresh, clean, and cheerful.

How to use it

• دیشب که اومد مهمونی تکرگل کرده بود (dishab ke umad mehmuni tekargol karde bud) “Last night he showed up to the party all dressed up.”
• تیپش تکرگله (tipesh tekargole) “His outfit is sharp.”
• تکرگل کردن (tekargol kardan) “to get spruced up.”
• parent form: ترگل ورگل (targol vargol) “neat and freshly dressed.”

Cultural note

A shortened, playful form you will mostly see online. The full ترگل ورگل is the dictionary-documented original.
