Significado
To appear or be revealed, often referring to a new or unexpected development.
Contexto cultural
In traditional Iranian villages, raising chickens was a part of daily life. The anticipation of eggs hatching was a common shared experience, making it a natural source for metaphors. Classical poets like Attar used the 'egg' to represent the physical world and the 'bird' to represent the soul that must break free to reach the divine. Journalists often use this phrase to describe 'mushrooming' startups or political parties that appear suddenly before an election. Parents might use this idiom to describe the moment a child starts showing their own personality or 'talking back' for the first time.
Use for Trends
This is a great phrase to use when talking about new trends on TikTok or Instagram that seem to appear out of nowhere.
Not for People
Don't use it to say a friend 'arrived' at your house. It sounds like they were born there!
