Bedeutung
The act of directing one's gaze.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Lowering one's gaze (Negah nakardan) is often a sign of modesty (Haya) and respect, especially in traditional settings. Directors like Abbas Kiarostami are famous for 'long looks' or static shots where the audience is forced to 'negah kardan' at nature for minutes. The 'Evil Eye' is called 'Cheshm-zakhm' (Eye-wound). It is believed a malicious look can cause bad luck. In Persian poetry, the 'Negah' of the beloved is often described as an arrow (tir) that pierces the lover's heart.
The 'Be' Rule
Always remember 'Negah be...'. If you forget 'be', you'll sound like a beginner.
Eye Contact
In Iran, looking someone directly in the eye for too long while they are speaking can be intense. Occasional looking away is normal.
