Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: چشم ديدن کسی را نداشتن
Greetings,

Here too I do hope my analysis of the structure is correct.

انگار مال باباش رو خوردم! اصلا چشم ديدن منو نداره
اصلا چشم ديدنش را ندارم

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

PS I am assuming (correctly I hope) that the first two words are followed by extra kasres.

not to stand the sight of sb
Explanation:
Gradually, he began not to stand the sight of the Peophin, as she came prancing along on her golden hooves, and kept well out of her way. Finally, the ball dropped.


Do you think you could fake not to stand the sight of me or the sound of my name...
