뜻
To direct one's gaze.
문화적 배경
Direct eye contact is valued as a sign of honesty, but when receiving a command like 'negāh konid' from an elder, a brief look followed by a slight lowering of the gaze is a sign of respect. In the fast-paced life of Tehran, 'negāh konid' is often shortened in pronunciation to 'negāh konid' but the 'id' is still clearly audible to maintain politeness in shops. The 'gaze' (negāh) is a central theme in Sufi poetry, representing the transmission of spiritual knowledge from master to pupil. In Dari, 'negāh kardan' is also used, but 'sayl kardan' (سیل کردن) is a very common alternative for 'looking' or 'watching'.
The 'Be' Rule
Always remember to put 'be' before the object. It's the most common mistake for beginners.
Don't Stare
While 'negāh konid' is an invitation, staring (khireh shodan) can be rude in Iranian culture.
