Hello~ I'm Mia, a member of the group 'GET IT BEAUTY'. My work is to introduce Iranian beauty. In the last posting, I realized that inner beauty is more important than the outward appearance. So, today I will talk about Iranian inner beauty by Iranian language!
There is a 'Taarof' culture in Iran. For example, if you choose something in an Iranian market and then you are about to pay the price, the clerk will say 'Qabele nadare!' It means 'this is not valuable', and to the liberal translation, 'No, it's fine.' Even there are Iranian clerks who wave their hand or push customers' back to make the customers go home not paying the price. This is 'Taarof' culture. I think It is not commonsense because Iranian culture is unfamiliar for me. If you choose the goods in a Korean market and you try to pay the price, the clerk will say 'It is ~ won, Thank you, or Good bye.'
However, Taarof is a Iranian native culture that symbolizes respecting other people. 'Qabele nadare!' expresses modesty by the words and actions that mean the goods or the service is not valuable compared with the customers. It is an expression that respect to others enough to feel embarrassment. Iranian people use the expression all the incident in which money is moved.
If you meet the Taarof in Iran, you could accept the expression to 'welcome' in English and then pay the money. Because it is the only culture, you shouldn't accept the letter as it is and go home not paying the price. I think foreigners can be confused how much is a Taarof and how much is a truth.
In Korea, there is a similar culture. For instance, if your relatives give pocket money in Lunar New Year's Day, you had better get the money after once refusal. When I was a young, I got the pocket money at once and then my parents scolded me because it was discourteous in Korea. In that situation, you only need to say 'No, thanks, you need not give that money.' But the relatives will try to give the money for you continuously! Then, you can receive the pocket money feeling gratitude. I think this Korean culture that care for other people is similar to a Taarof in Iran.
It is a good inner beauty that people has consideration for others. Of course you can be confused at first time, this culture means the people is accustomed to be kind in everyday life! They have good manner!
