Meaning & Usage
01
"shameless, brazen"
Lacking 'hayā' — the Persian concept of modesty, shame, and appropriate self-restraint. It's the clean version of 'kun-e goshād,' conveying the same essential criticism (you have no shame) without the anal imagery. Acceptable in most social settings while still being a genuine insult.
Examples in the Wild
A grandmother about her granddaughter's Instagram: 'Bi hayā, in chieh gozāshti?' — shameless girl, what's this you've posted? Also used seriously about genuinely brazen behavior.
