Meaning & Usage
01
"cheap talk, empty words, bullshit"
Talk that costs nothing — and is worth nothing. 'Harf-e moft nazan' means 'don't talk cheap.' It implies someone is making promises they won't keep or claims they can't support. The 'moft' (free/cheap) is the key: just as free things have no value, this speech has no substance.
