Cut someone's leg; Cut off support

🌍

문화적 배경

The concept of 'Mehmani' (guestship) is so strong that 'cutting someone's foot' is seen as a very drastic measure, usually reserved for serious betrayals. In the Iranian bazaar, trust is everything. If someone's 'foot is cut' from the bazaar, it means they have lost their reputation and no one will trade with them. Iranian politicians frequently use this idiom to sound 'tough' on corruption or foreign interference, appealing to the public's desire for clear boundaries. In some rural areas, there's a belief that if an 'evil eye' person enters your home, you must 'cut their foot' metaphorically to protect the household's energy.

🎯

Use with 'Az'

Always specify the place using 'az' (from) to sound more natural. e.g., 'az khāne' (from home).

⚠️

Don't use for accidents

If someone actually cuts their foot, use 'pāyam borid' (intransitive) or 'pāyam ghat shod'.
