Significado
From various places, sources, or directions; scattered.
Contexto cultural
In crowded cities like Tehran, information often travels through 'shafahi' (oral) networks. This phrase validates that informal way of knowing. The traditional bazaar is a maze where goods and news come from many 'sides'. The phrase reflects this non-centralized trade history. Iranian parents often use this phrase to scold children for being 'shaloog' (messy/disorganized). When someone brings a variety of small gifts, they might modestly say they just 'picked them up from here and there' to downplay their effort.
Sound like a Native
Use 'un' instead of 'an' in speech. 'Az in var o un var' is 100% more natural in a cafe than 'Az in var o an var'.
Don't use with 'Source'
Don't say 'manba-e az in var o an var'. The phrase itself acts as the source. Just say 'az in var o an var shenidam'.

The Gossip Nuance
