意思
To skillfully elicit information or a confession from someone.
文化背景
In Iranian culture, 'keeping one's tongue' (نگهداری زبان) is a virtue. Therefore, someone who can 'extract' words is seen as either very clever or slightly intrusive, depending on the context. In modern Tehran, this phrase is often used when discussing dating or social media 'tea' (gossip). It's a common way to describe 'investigating' someone's private life. During negotiations, Iranians may use 'Ta'arof' to avoid saying 'No' directly. A skilled negotiator uses this idiom's technique to find the true 'No' or the true price. Sufi poets often spoke of the 'silent heart.' They believed that the most important truths cannot be 'extracted' by force, but only revealed through love.
The 'Az' Rule
Always remember the preposition 'az'. Without it, the sentence falls apart. It's 'Word FROM mouth'.
Don't be too aggressive
In Persian culture, saying 'I extracted words from him' can sometimes sound like you were being a bit too nosy. Use it carefully with superiors.

No, if you are taking food out of someone's mouth, you just use 'dar-āvardan' without the 'harf' idiom context. This is strictly for speech.
'Harf keshidan' is more colloquial and sounds a bit more like 'interrogating.' 'Harf az dahan dar-āvardan' is slightly more descriptive of the result.
You say: 'Natavānestam harf az dahanesh dar-āvaram.'
Yes, very frequently in novels, news reports, and formal interviews.
No, that would be 'Zabān bāz kardan' (opening the tongue). 'Harf dar-āvardan' implies a secret or reluctance.
The opposite is 'Dahān bastan' (to keep one's mouth shut) or 'Harf nazadan' (not talking).
No, it is a purely secular social idiom.
You can use it to describe your skills (e.g., 'I am good at getting people to talk'), but don't use it about the interviewer!
Yes, people often just say 'Harf azash dar-āvardam' (I got words out of him).
