Meaning
معنی۱
Iranian family culture leans heavily on the شراکت (sharâkat, partnership) frame: shopping for groceries, planning a wedding, or running a small bazaar shop is rarely solo work. Mothers especially use this proverb during sibling fights to refuse the "but he started it" defense, which is why most Iranians first hear it around age five.
