To become knowledgeable and perceptive about the world or a situation.
خلفية ثقافية
There is a traditional proverb: 'بچه باید چشم و گوش بسته بماند' (A child should remain with eyes and ears closed). This reflects a desire to protect children from adult themes, making the 'opening' of eyes and ears a sensitive topic. In Iranian pop culture, moving to Tehran is often depicted as the ultimate way for someone's 'eyes and ears to open,' for better or worse. In the poetry of Rumi or Hafez, 'opening the eye' (chashm baaz kardan) refers to spiritual enlightenment, seeing the 'inner' world rather than the 'outer' material world. Iranians often complain that social media has 'opened the eyes and ears' of children too early, leading to a gap between generations.
The 'Esh' Suffix
Remember to change the suffix based on who you are talking about. 'Goosham' (me), 'Gooshat' (you), 'Gooshesh' (him/her).
Don't be too blunt
Telling someone 'Your eyes and ears have opened' can sometimes sound like you're calling them a former idiot. Use it carefully.
