뜻
A polite warning or advice to act with caution.
문화적 배경
The phrase is often used as a form of 'Ta'arof' to show concern, even if no real danger exists. It's a way to build rapport. In Dari, 'Movaazeb baash' is more common, but 'Moragheb' is understood in formal contexts. Tajik speakers might use 'Ehtiyot shavand' more frequently in formal writing. In the fast-paced life of Tehran, 'Lotfan' is often dropped in the metro, and you just hear 'Moragheb-e fasele bashid'.
The 'Ezafe' Rule
If you want to say 'Be careful of X', add a small 'e' sound to Moragheb: 'Moragheb-e X bashid'.
Don't be too formal with kids
If you say 'Lotfan moragheb bashid' to a child, they might think you are a stranger. Use 'Movaazeb baash' instead.

자주 묻는 질문
12 질문Yes, slightly. 'Moragheb' is preferred in announcements and writing, while 'Movaazeb' is very common in daily speech.
Absolutely. It's a very polite way to end an email to a colleague: 'Lotfan moragheb-e salamati-ye khod bashid'.
'Moragheb' is about watching/guarding, while 'Ehtiyat' is about exercising caution. 'Ehtiyat' is more formal and often used for driving or safety procedures.
You can still use 'Moragheb bashid' (plural), but you would likely drop the 'Lotfan' to make it less stiff.
No, that sounds incomplete. You should at least say 'Moragheb baash!' or 'Movaazeb!'.
It's a politeness marker. Without it, the phrase is a direct command. With it, it's a request.
Yes, it's perfect for that. 'Lotfan moragheb-e khodetaan bashid' is exactly what a doctor or friend would say.
Yes, 'Be-pa!' (بپا) is the slang version, used for immediate warnings like 'Watch out!'.
No, but in a B1/formal context, they are usually paired together for politeness.
It means 'Mind the gap' (literally: be careful of the distance).
Yes, 'Moragheb-e hazine-ha bashid' means 'Be careful with the expenses'.
It can be. It's like the French 'r' or the sound you make when gargling. Practice it slowly!
