뜻
Feeling overly pleased with oneself, often to the point of arrogance.
문화적 배경
In Iran, showing off (Poz dâdan) is socially frowned upon. Even if you are successful, you are expected to use phrases like 'Lotf-e khodâ bud' (It was God's grace) to avoid being seen as 'az khod râzi'. Among the youth in Tehran, 'az khod râzi' is a common label for 'rich kids' or 'influencers' who flaunt their lifestyle on Instagram. Classical poets like Hafez and Saadi often wrote about the dangers of 'Ghorur' (arrogance). They contrast the 'Arrogant Zahid' (religious hypocrite) with the 'Humble Sinner'. In a Persian business meeting, being 'az khod râzi' can kill a deal. Partners value 'forutani' (humility) and building a relationship over raw ego.
Don't use for yourself!
Never say 'Man az khod râzi hastam' to mean you are proud of your work. It makes you sound like a narcissist.
The Ta'arof Shield
If you are worried about sounding 'az khod râzi', start your sentence with 'be nazar-e man' (in my opinion) or 'ba ejaaze' (with permission).
