Learning a language without knowing about its background culture, makes the learning process more difficult. Many people who want to learn Persian, always face this problem.Because they have learnt it through reading and writing. On of the most significant issues for them is compliments. We have a lot of compliment phrases in Persian and most of the time we overuse them and even sometimes we try to translate them literally for foreigners. :)
یادگیری هر زبان بدون دانستن فرهنگ زمینه آن مسیر یادگیری را دشوارتر میکند. مخصوصن اگر زبان عامیانه آن با زبان نگارش ادبی آن متفاوت باشد.
بسیاری از کسانی که میخواهند فارسی یاد بگیرند با این مشکل مواجه میشوند. چرا که ابتدا از طریق خواندن و نوشتن اقدام به یادگیری میکنند.
یکی از اولین مسائلی که این افراد در اولین برخوردها با یک ایرانی با آن مواجه میشوند، حجم بالای تعارفات است؛ حتی برخی سعی در ترجمه آن به زبان انگلیسی میکنند :))
برای نمونه:
نوکرتم = I am your servant
کوچیکتم = I am smaller than you
فدات بشم = I want to sacrifice myself for you
For example, when you ask someone's name in Iran, he might say کوچیک شما، رضا
"kouchike shoma" is just a compliment and doesn't mean that he is small :))
If you know more compliments please share with me.
Thank you
