Bedeutung
To immediately agree to a request without hesitation, often implying obedience.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Saying 'Cheshm' is part of 'Tarbiat' (upbringing). A child who doesn't say it is often corrected by parents. The phrase is also widely used in Dari Persian with the same meaning of polite obedience. In Tajik, 'Chashm' is used, but 'Khub' or 'Shudaast' are also very common for agreement. In Iranian startups, 'Cheshm' is becoming slightly less formal, replaced by 'Hatman' or 'Ok', but still persists in traditional sectors.
The 'Soft' Cheshm
Say it with a slight smile and a head nod to sound like a native.
Don't over-conjugate
Stick to just 'Cheshm' as a beginner. Adding verbs makes it harder and often less natural.
