Contexto cultural

Due to high inflation, this phrase is used almost daily in Iranian households to discuss the cost of living. It carries a sense of anxiety that is absent in more stable economies. In Iranian universities, using 'ziyad' (a lot) in a paper is seen as a sign of poor vocabulary. 'Afzayesh-e ghabel-e tavajjoh' is the mandatory substitute. State media (IRIB) uses this phrase to sound objective and authoritative, even when discussing controversial topics. When negotiating a salary in Tehran, using this phrase to describe your impact on the company shows you are 'ba-kelass' (classy/professional).

🎯

Use the 'y' suffix

Adding a small 'i' sound at the end (افزایش قابل توجهی) makes it sound much more natural in 90% of sentences.

⚠️

Don't skip the Ezafe

If you don't say the 'e' sound between the words, it sounds like a list of random words rather than a phrase.
