B2 Proverb 中性

حرف حساب، جواب ندارد

harf-e hesab, javaab nadaarad

Sound argument has no answer

意思

A logical and reasonable statement cannot be refuted.

🌍

文化背景

In the traditional bazaar, a merchant's word was his bond, but his ledger (hesab) was the ultimate authority. This proverb reflects the transition from oral trust to documented logic. The concept of 'Aghl' (Reason) is central to Persian Islamic philosophy. This proverb is a folk-level manifestation of the philosophical belief that reason is the highest judge. On platforms like Twitter, Iranians use this phrase to 'end' a debate or to signal that a particular 'burn' or logical point was so good it cannot be countered. While Iranian culture is traditionally hierarchical, this proverb allows a younger person to 'win' an argument with an elder if their logic is undeniable, providing a rare exception to age-based authority.

🎯

The 'Mic Drop' Moment

Use this at the end of a long explanation to signal that you are finished and your point is solid.

⚠️

Don't be Arrogant

If you say this about your own words too often, you will sound like a 'know-it-all'. Use it more to agree with others.

Yes, it is very appropriate for persuasive writing to emphasize a logical conclusion.

No, if you are agreeing with them, it's actually quite respectful and shows you are logical.

'Hesab' is about logic/calculation; 'Hagh' is about truth/justice. They are 90% interchangeable.

No, because 'Harf-e hesab' is treated as a singular concept in this proverb.

Just saying 'Harf-e hesab!' with an emphatic tone is the slang way to say 'Exactly!'.

Yes, if someone says something obviously true but funny (e.g., 'If you sleep, you aren't awake'), you can say it sarcastically.

'Hesab' implies a balance and a history of trade, which is more culturally resonant in Persian than the Greek-rooted 'Mantegh'.

Yes, it is widely understood in Afghanistan (Dari) and Tajikistan.

It's a soft 'h' from the throat, but for learners, a regular English 'h' is usually fine.

Yes, 'dare' is the informal/spoken version of 'nadarad' (actually 'nadare').
