Signification
Actions taken to stop something undesirable from happening.
Contexte culturel
The phrase is heavily used in the 'Chaharshanbe Suri' festival context, where the government issues warnings and 'اقدامات پیشگیرانه' to prevent fire-related injuries. In Dari Persian, the phrase is also common, especially in the context of international aid and disaster risk reduction (DRR) programs. While Tajik uses many Russian loanwords, in formal government documents, the Persian-style 'اقدامات پیشگیرانه' (often written in Cyrillic as иқдомоти пешгирона) is used to maintain a formal literary register. In modern Iranian startups, this phrase is often used in 'Post-mortem' meetings to discuss how to avoid future technical bugs.
