Contexte culturel
Opening the door for a guest is a significant act. It's common to say 'Damesh bāz ast' (His door is always open) to describe a generous person. During Nowruz, 'opening' the window is a symbolic act to let out the old year's bad luck and let in the new year's freshness. The word 'Bazaar' literally means 'the place of opening/trade.' The opening of a shop in the morning often involves a small prayer or ritual for good business. In Sufi poetry (like Rumi), 'opening' refers to the opening of the 'eye of the heart' (cheshm-e del) to see spiritual truths.
The 'Rā' Rule
Always remember to add 'rā' (را) after the object you are opening if it's a specific one (e.g., 'the' door).
No Electronics!
Never use 'bāz kardan' for turning on a computer or TV. It sounds like you are physically taking the device apart!
