hazine-ye gezaf

Exorbitant cost

意味

An excessively high or unreasonable price.

🌍

文化的背景

In Iranian culture, the 'wedding industry' is a prime example of 'hazine-ye gazaf'. Families often spend years of savings on a single night. Due to inflation (tavarom), what was a normal price last year is often called 'gazaf' this year, leading to frequent use of the phrase in news. Persian poetry often warns against 'gazaf-goo' (speaking excessively/boasting), which shares the same root as our phrase. When someone tells you a price is 'gazaf', they are often looking for sympathy or agreement that the economy is difficult.
