Why do people say bli ayin hara after saying something people would be jealous of? The way I see it, if you don’t want anyone to be jealous then dont talk about it! Saying- dont be jealous- that isnt going to help.
I think most people use it wrong – they mean to say, “Al tiftach peh l’soton””.
People don’t only say that when they speak about things others can be jealous of. It’s also part of an answer when one person asks a friend they haven’t seen in a long time how many children she/he has. Most people wouldn’t look for a way out of the question. They would answer and simply add the words bli ayin hara.
