Significado
To proceed slowly and carefully, avoiding haste or hurried actions.
Contexto cultural
In Ta'arof, telling someone 'ajaleh nakon' when they are leaving is a mandatory sign of respect. It signals that you value their company and don't want them to go. Classical poets like Saadi often emphasize 'sabr' (patience) over 'ajaleh'. The idea is that haste leads to regret (pashimani). In Tehran's fast-paced life, 'ajaleh nakardan' is becoming a mantra for the 'Slow Movement' in cafes and art circles. The proverb 'Haste is from the Devil' is so common that even non-religious people use it to justify taking their time.
Use it for Quality
If you want to sound like a native speaker giving wise advice, use 'ajaleh nakon' followed by 'ba deghat' (with accuracy).
Don't be too slow
In some contexts, 'ajaleh nakardan' can be an excuse for being slow. Make sure your tone is helpful, not lazy.
