خلفية ثقافية
Nowruz is the ultimate 'az avval' moment. Iranians believe that how you start the year determines the rest of it, so they focus on starting 'from the beginning' with a clean house and a clean heart. If a guest misses part of a conversation, the host will often restart the entire story 'az avval' to make the guest feel included. This is a sign of respect and patience. In Iranian schools, there is a strong emphasis on rote memorization. If a student stumbles during a poem recitation, the teacher often says 'az avval!' meaning they must restart the whole poem. Many Persian poets speak of returning to the 'Source'. 'Az avval' can sometimes carry a mystical connotation of returning to the original state of purity or divine connection.
Use 'Ham' for Emphasis
Add 'ham' (از اول هم) to say 'I knew it all along' or 'It was like this from the very start'.
Avoid 'Yekom'
Never say 'az yekom'. It sounds very unnatural to native speakers.
