뜻
If you get something in return, you shouldn't complain.
문화적 배경
In traditional markets, 'Barter' (Pāyāpāy) was common. This proverb protected the social peace by ensuring that once a swap was agreed upon, the deal was final and complaints were socially discouraged. Young Iranians use this proverb in a 'savage' or 'snarky' way on platforms like Twitter/X to respond to people who are complaining about consequences they brought upon themselves. Parents often use this to settle disputes between siblings. If one child takes a toy because the other took theirs, the parent uses this to end the argument quickly.
Use the Short Form
If you want to sound like a native, say 'Chizi ke avaz dāre, gele nadāre.' It flows better in casual talk.
Tone Matters
If you say this with a smile, it's friendly. If you say it with a frown, it's a sharp rebuke. Be careful with your body language!
