意思
Faulty methods or actions will inevitably lead to undesirable or incorrect outcomes.
文化背景
In the Tehran bazaar, 'Etebar' (credit/reputation) is everything. If a merchant is caught doing 'wrong work' (selling inferior goods), they lose their 'Etebar' forever. This proverb is a constant reminder of that risk. The Iranian school system is very rigorous. Teachers often use this phrase to discourage students from 'short-cutting' math problems or cheating, emphasizing that the 'result' (knowledge) will be 'wrong' (useless). Iran has a history of incredible brickwork (e.g., the Gonbad-e Qabus). The logic of the 'first brick' is not just a metaphor; it was a life-or-death reality for ancient architects in earthquake zones. In Iran's growing startup scene (like Digikala or Snapp), this phrase has been modernized to mean 'Technical Debt.' Doing things the wrong way now leads to a broken system later.
Use it for 'I told you so'
If you warned someone and they didn't listen, this is the most polite way to say 'I told you so' in Persian.
Don't over-formalize
Avoid adding too many verbs. The beauty of this phrase is its short, punchy nature.
