harf-e hesab zadan

To speak sense

To say something logical, reasonable, and sensible.

🌍

문화적 배경

In the bazaar, 'Hesab' is sacred. A man's word is his bond, but his 'hesab' is the proof. This idiom reflects the high value placed on accuracy and fairness in trade. Using this phrase is a way to show 'Enteghad-paziri' (being open to criticism). It shows you are humble enough to accept a better logic than your own. While the idiom is modern, the concept of 'Hesab' (The Reckoning) is a major theme in Persian mystical poetry, referring to the ultimate truth of the universe.

🎯

The Ultimate Agreement

In very formal writing, use 'سخن منطقی' (sokhan-e manteghi) instead of 'harfe hesab zadan'.

No, it is generally very positive. However, asking 'Why don't you speak sense?' (Chera harfe hesab nemizani?) can be confrontational.

Yes, if you are agreeing with a point the interviewer made about the industry or the role.

'Hesab' is about logic and fairness. 'Hagh' is about truth and justice, often with a religious or moral undertone.

It's great for blogs, emails, and social media, but avoid it in formal legal or academic papers.
