뜻
To not expect something to happen; to have no hope.
문화적 배경
In Iranian culture, expressing doubt is often a way to avoid 'Cheshm Zadan' (the Evil Eye). By not being too optimistic, one avoids attracting bad luck. In Tehran, the phrase is often shortened in fast speech to 'Cheshmam āb nemikhore,' with a very soft 'kh' sound. Using this phrase in a meeting can be a polite way to say 'Your proposal is unrealistic' without calling the other person a liar.
Use the Suffix
Always attach the possessive suffix (-am, -et, etc.) to 'Cheshm' to sound like a native.
Don't use for Thirst
If you are actually thirsty, say 'Teshne-am.' Never use this idiom for physical thirst.
