هر سخن جایی و هر نکته مکانی دارد
har sokhan jayi va har nokte makani darad
Everything in its place
المعنى
There is a right time and place for everything to be said or done.
خلفية ثقافية
The concept of 'Abeero' (Face) is central. Speaking out of place can shame not just the speaker, but their entire family. In Dari-speaking regions, this proverb is equally popular and emphasizes the 'Majlis' (gathering) etiquette. Tajik Persian preserves the poetic form strictly, often citing it in educational textbooks as a moral lesson. Second-generation Iranians often hear this from parents when they are 'too Americanized' (too direct) in social settings.
The 'O' Connector
When saying the proverb, connect the first and second half with a short 'o' sound (jāyi-o-har...) to sound like a native.
Don't be a 'Professor'
Using this proverb too often can make you sound like you're lecturing people. Use it sparingly.
