意味
To be affected by the 'evil eye', meaning to suffer from someone's envy.
文化的背景
Iranians burn 'Esfand' (wild rue seeds) to protect against the evil eye. The smoke is believed to purify the air and ward off envy. Similar to Iran, the belief in 'Nazar' is very strong. People often wear small blue beads or pieces of turquoise for protection. In Tajik culture, 'Chashm' (eye) is also feared. They have specific folk songs and poems about protecting children from the evil eye. Even Iranians living in the West often keep a 'Nazar' bead in their cars or homes as a cultural symbol, even if they don't literally believe in the curse.
Always say Mashallah
When complimenting an Iranian's child or home, always add 'Mashallah' to show you aren't casting the evil eye.
Use it for small things
It's best used for minor, sudden inconveniences. Don't use it for major tragedies unless you are very close to the person.

Don't blame people directly
Saying 'You hit me with the eye' (Chashmam zadi) can be offensive. Stick to 'I ate the eye' (Cheshm khordam) to be safe.

よくある質問
5 問It has roots in both ancient Persian religion and Islam, but today it is mostly a cultural idiom used by everyone.
Yes! Cars, houses, phones, and even plants are commonly said to 'cheshm khordan'.
They are identical in meaning. 'Nazar' is the Arabic-rooted word for 'gaze', and 'Cheshm' is the Persian word for 'eye'.
The most common ways are saying 'Mashallah', knocking on wood, or burning Esfand.
No, it's too informal and superstitious for a professional interview.
