B2 Idiom 非正式

دهن کجی کردن

dhn kgy krdn

Making a mouth gesture

意思

To mock, defy, or show contempt for someone by making a rude face.

🌍

文化背景

In Iranian culture, 'Adab' (politeness) is central. 'Dahan-kaji' is seen as a severe breach of this, especially toward parents or teachers. Iranians use 'Dahan-kaji' frequently on Twitter to describe government policies that seem to ignore public opinion. Avant-garde artists in Tehran often describe their work as a 'Dahan-kaji' to the restrictive 'Ershad' (Ministry of Culture) rules. In traditional settings, even a slight 'crookedness' of the mouth while an elder is speaking is considered a 'Gonah' (sin) or a major 'Bi-adabi' (rudeness).

⚠️

Don't use with 'be' for people you like

This phrase is inherently negative. Using it about a friend might imply you are no longer friends.

🎯

Use in Writing

This is a great 'power verb' for persuasive essays to show that an opponent's action is insulting.

Only if the face is meant to mock someone. If it's just a silly face for a photo, use 'شکلک درآوردن' (sheklak dar-avardan).

'Tamas-khor' is general mockery; 'Dahan-kaji' specifically implies defiance of authority or rules.

Use 'kard': او دهن‌کجی کرد (He defied/mocked).

No, it's better for journalism or casual speech. In a business email, use 'عدم تمکین' (non-compliance).

Yes, metaphorically. It means the building's design is an insult to its surroundings.

No, it is a modern Persian idiom, though the concept of mockery is discussed in the Quran using Arabic terms.

'احترام گذاشتن' (ehtiram gozashtan - to show respect) or 'تمکین کردن' (tamkin kardan - to comply).

Usually yes, preceded by 'be'. You 'Dahan-kaji' *to* something.
