Eib for Dummies

Student: Hey teacher, what does "Eib" mean? I've never heard that word before.

Teacher: That's a great question! "Eib" can mean different things depending on the context. One definition is that it's a Persian word that means "sin" or "shame". So, if someone says, "That's an eib," they're saying that it's shameful or sinful. Another meaning of the word "Eib" could also mean "to blame" or "to disgrace". So, if someone says, "You bring eib upon yourself," it means that the person is bringing disgrace or blame upon themselves.

Student: Oh, I think I get it now. So "Eib" is like doing something wrong and being ashamed of it?

Teacher: Exactly! It's like when you know you've done something bad and you feel ashamed or embarrassed about it. It's like that feeling when you know you've crossed a line and you feel like everyone is looking at you and judging you for it. It's not a very good feeling, right?

Student: Yeah, I know what you mean. It's like when I accidentally broke the vase at home and I felt so bad about it.

Teacher: That's a perfect example. Breaking the vase made you feel a sense of eib because you knew it was a mistake and you felt ashamed about it. So, whenever you hear the word "Eib" being used, just remember that it's all about feeling ashamed or disgraced because of something you've done. Does that make sense?

Student: Yeah, I think I understand it better now. Thanks, teacher!

Teacher: You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. If you have any more questions about words or anything else, feel free to ask anytime.
