"بی‌ گدار به آب زدن" meaning in All languages combined

See بی‌ گدار به آب زدن on Wiktionary

Verb [Persian]

Forms: بی گدار به آب زدن [canonical], bi godâr be âb zadan [romanization]
Etymology: The idiomatic phrase translates literally to English: “to cross (lit. hit) a (body of) water (that is) without a ford.” Supposedly, before the Modern Era when most travellers had to travel through rivers without bridges, they had to find and pass through the shallow areas (fords) in order to avoid the risk of drowning. Thus, this idiom regurgitates the importance of preforming a task only after considering the possible dangers involved. Compare English idiomatic equivalents: “to throw caution to the wind”, “ to look before you leap.” Head templates: {{head|fa|verb|tr=bi godâr be âb zadan}} بی گدار به آب زدن • (bi godâr be âb zadan)
