Bedeutung
Used humorously for something that unexpectedly moves or disappears.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Iranian homes, things are often moved by mothers or spouses during cleaning ('khaneh-tekani'). This idiom is a playful way to complain about things being moved without accusing anyone directly. Shopkeepers might use this if a tool or a small piece of inventory goes missing in the chaos of the market.
Use 'Angār'
Always add 'Angār' (It's as if) before the phrase to make it sound more natural.
Singular vs Plural
If the object is plural (like keys), make sure the verb is plural: 'Pā dar āvorde-and'.
