دهان به دهان شدن

dahān be dahān shodan

To spread by word of mouth

Information or news being passed from person to person verbally.

🌍

문화적 배경

In the traditional bazaar, news travels faster than the internet. Merchants use word-of-mouth to check the credit-worthiness of new traders. Even on platforms like Telegram and Instagram, Iranians use this phrase to describe 'viral' content that people are discussing in their private groups. Classical poets often used the 'mouth' as a symbol of breath and life, and 'mouth to mouth' can sometimes appear in older poetry to signify a shared breath or secret.

🎯

Use with 'Charkhidan'

If you want to sound more native, use 'Dahan be dahan charkhid' (rotated) instead of 'shod'.

⚠️

The 'Gozashtan' Trap

Never use 'shodan' when you mean you had an argument. You will confuse your listener!
