Signification
The act of paying attention to sounds.
Contexte culturel
Listening to elders is a sign of 'Adab' (etiquette). Interrupting is considered very rude. The 'Sama' ceremony involves listening to music and poetry to reach a state of spiritual ecstasy. Young people use 'Gush dādan' almost exclusively for Western music and podcasts. In Iranian schools, 'Gush kardan' is the primary way of learning, as the culture is traditionally more oral-focused.
The 'Be' Rule
Always put 'be' before the object. It's the most common mistake for beginners!
Don't use with 'Sound'
If you say 'I listen to the sound', it's 'Be sedā gush mikonam'. But if you just 'hear' a sound, use 'Shenidan'.
