뜻
An imperative to pay attention to sound.
문화적 배경
In Iranian culture, storytelling is an art form. 'Gush kon' is often the 'curtain raiser' for a long narrative. Listeners are expected to provide verbal cues like 'khob?' (well?) or 'ajab!' (wow!) to show they are actively 'doing the ear.' The ear is seen as a sacred vessel in Sufi poetry. Rumi's 'Masnavi' begins with the command to listen, emphasizing that the soul's ear must be open to hear divine truths. Iranian parents use 'Gush kon' as a firm but loving way to instill discipline. To 'not listen' (gush nadadan) is synonymous with being a 'bad' or 'disobedient' child. Even in listening, Ta'arof plays a role. One might say 'Man sapa-pa gusham' (I am all ears) to show extreme respect and readiness to hear what another has to say.
The 'Be' Rule
Always remember to put 'be' before the thing you are listening to. 'Gush kardan BE...'
Watch the Register
Don't use 'Gush kon' with your Persian in-laws unless you want to seem very bossy!
