意思
To sit with one leg crossed over the other, often indicating comfort.
文化背景
In traditional Iranian homes, sitting with crossed legs in front of a father or grandfather is considered 'Bi-adabi' (impolite). One should sit 'Do-zānu' (kneeling) to show respect. In modern cafes in North Tehran, this posture is a sign of being 'cool' and relaxed. It's very common among young people. During a business negotiation, crossing your legs can be seen as a sign of power or being 'unfazed'. However, if the sole of the shoe points at the other person, it can be accidentally offensive. In mosques or during religious ceremonies, people usually sit on the floor. 'Pā ruy-e pā andākhtan' is almost never seen; 'Chahār-zānu' is the norm.
The 'Sole' Rule
When crossing your legs, try not to point the sole of your shoe directly at someone's face; it's considered rude in Iran.
Verb Choice
Use 'andākhtan' for a more native feel. 'Gozashtan' sounds a bit like a textbook translation.
