از خود گذشتگی

az khod gozashtegi

Self-sacrifice

The act of putting others' needs before one's own, often with personal cost.

🌍

문화적 배경

The story of 'Dehghan-e Fadakar' (The Devoted Farmer) is taught to every Iranian child. He burned his shirt to warn a train of a landslide, embodying this phrase. In Tajikistan, the phrase is often used in the context of 'Nongu Namus' (Honor), where sacrificing for the village is highly respected. In Dari Persian, 'Fadākāri' is often used interchangeably, but 'az khod gozashtegi' remains the more poetic choice for deep emotional bonds. Second-generation Iranians often struggle with the weight of their parents' 'az khod gozashtegi,' leading to complex feelings of guilt and gratitude.

No, it can be for giving up a seat on a bus or staying late to help a colleague, as long as there is a personal cost.

'Fadakari' is more common and slightly less formal. 'Az khod gozashtegi' sounds more poetic and deep.

It has mystical roots but is used by everyone in Iran today, regardless of religion.

You use 'az-khod-gozashteh'. For example: 'Yek ensan-e az-khod-gozashteh'.
