뜻
To appeal to someone's sense of pride, dignity, or honor to motivate them.
문화적 배경
In the 'House of Strength', the concept of Gheyrat is central. Athletes are trained not just physically, but to have the 'Gheyrat' to protect the weak. Many famous Iranian films, especially in the 'Kolah Makhmali' genre, revolve around a hero whose 'rag-e gheyrat' is triggered by an injustice to his family. Parents often use this idiom to motivate children by comparing them to successful peers, though modern psychologists warn this can be stressful. While historically associated with men, modern Persian uses 'Gheyrat' for women to describe their professional integrity and strength.
Use for Motivation
If you want to sound like a native speaker encouraging a friend, use this instead of just saying 'try harder'.
Avoid Overuse
Because 'Gheyrat' is a heavy word, using it for very small things (like washing a single dish) can sound sarcastic.

The Forehead Vein
Iranians often touch their forehead when talking about this, referring to the physical vein that 'pops' when they are determined.
