Describing something as easy to understand or do.
خلفية ثقافية
In Iranian hospitality, hosts often describe complex dishes as 'simple' to make guests feel comfortable eating them without feeling they caused too much trouble. The concept of 'Sahl-e Momtane' (Easy-Difficult) refers to poetry that sounds 'بسیار ساده' but is nearly impossible to imitate, like the works of Saadi Shirazi. Startups in Iran heavily use this phrase in UI/UX design to appeal to a generation that values efficiency and 'simplicity' (sāde-gi). Teachers use this phrase as a psychological tool to reduce 'math anxiety' among students.

Watch the Register
