حرف حساب زدن

harf-e hesab zadan

To speak sense

意思

To say something logical, reasonable, and sensible.

🌍

文化背景

In the bazaar, 'Hesab' is sacred. A man's word is his bond, but his 'hesab' is the proof. This idiom reflects the high value placed on accuracy and fairness in trade. Using this phrase is a way to show 'Enteghad-paziri' (being open to criticism). It shows you are humble enough to accept a better logic than your own. While the idiom is modern, the concept of 'Hesab' (The Reckoning) is a major theme in Persian mystical poetry, referring to the ultimate truth of the universe.

🎯

The Ultimate Agreement

If you want to end a debate respectfully, just say 'Harfe hesab javab nadarad.' It signals that you agree and there's nothing more to say.

⚠️

Don't over-formalize

In very formal writing, use 'سخن منطقی' (sokhan-e manteghi) instead of 'harfe hesab zadan'.

'Hesab' is about logic and fairness. 'Hagh' is about truth and justice, often with a religious or moral undertone.
