Expressing a feeling of astonishment or wonder.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Iran, surprise is often expressed with wide eyes and a slight intake of breath before saying the phrase. The phrase is used similarly in Dari, with slightly different pronunciation of the vowels. In Tajikistan, the phrase is understood, though 'ҳайрон шудам' (hayron shudam) is also very common. Persian speakers abroad often use this phrase to maintain a connection to their heritage while speaking English.
