Significado
To interrupt or contradict someone.
Contexto cultural
Children are taught from a very young age that 'Ruye harfe bozorgtar harf nazan' (Don't talk back to elders). It is a pillar of traditional upbringing. In modern Iranian tech startups, this rule is loosening, but in government or traditional offices, it remains a strict rule of conduct. The concept of the 'word' (Harf) being sacred appears in poetry, where silence is often preferred over 'speaking on' the words of a master.
