🌍

خلفية ثقافية

Most Iranian bathrooms have a hose (shattaf) for washing with water. Using only toilet paper is considered unhygienic by many. The 'Iranian toilet' is a squat toilet. If you need a Western-style seat, ask for 'Tualet-e Farangi'. It is polite to say 'Bebakhshid' (Excuse me) before and sometimes after using the bathroom if you are in a small group. In Dari (Persian of Afghanistan), 'Tashnab' is the more common word for bathroom/toilet.

💡

Always use 'Bebakhshid'

Iranians value politeness. Starting with 'Excuse me' makes the question much more natural.

⚠️

Squat vs. Seated

Be prepared for squat toilets in public parks or older buildings. Look for 'Farangi' if you need a seat.

The 'Ve-Se' shortcut

If you forget the long word, just say 'Ve-Se' (W.C.). Most young people and city dwellers use it.
