About Behzad
Expertise
I can answer questions about the usage and meaning of Persian words, proverbs, and idioms asked in Persian or English. Controversial grammatical issues are beyond my knowledge. In addition, I cannot corroborate my answer to a question about newly coined slang words. PLEASE do not ask me to translate more than 1 or 2 sentences.

Experience
Persian language is my mother tongue; however, my knowledge is remarkably more than a mere native speaker.

Education/Credentials
BSc In Mechanical Eng.

Answer
Hello,

It always concerns me that I fail to make myself understood when I am asked to translate something from Persian to English since I learned English as a foreign language.
 
1.   Translation: To what economical level do you like me to support you? (Word-for-word translation: To what level do you like me to support you from the economical point of view?)
2.   It is a slang which is used like “good job!”. It is also used when one wants to express his satisfaction with an unlikely or a desirable situation.
3.   It is a slang used to thank somebody or to say they have done a good job.
4.   This sentence is used when something or someone undesirable unexpectedly appears. Literally it means “from where did it [come] and appear?”

Best regards,
Behzad
