意味
Appearances can be deceiving; not everything that looks good is good.
文化的背景
In the traditional bazaar, 'Zereshgi' (cleverness) is valued. Merchants and buyers both use proverbs like this to signal that they are not 'naive' (sade-lowh). The contrast between 'Zahir' (outer) and 'Batin' (inner) is a major theme in Sufi poetry. This proverb is the 'street version' of high-level mystical teachings. Parents use this proverb to teach children 'Ehtiyat' (caution). It's part of a social education that emphasizes skepticism over blind trust. With the rise of 'fake news' and online scams in Iran, this proverb has seen a massive resurgence on social media platforms like Telegram and Instagram.
The 'Wise' Pause
When saying this, pause for a half-second after 'gerdi'. It makes you sound much more like a native speaker delivering a piece of wisdom.
Don't Overuse
If you use it for every small thing, you'll sound like a grumpy old man. Save it for moments of genuine skepticism.
