Bedeutung
Having a low temperature.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Sardi' (coldness) is central to health. Foods like yogurt, fish, and rice are 'cold.' If you eat too many, you must balance them with 'warm' foods like honey or cinnamon to avoid illness. Being 'Garm' (warm) is a high social virtue. A 'sard' host is considered very rude. Hospitality is measured by the 'warmth' of the welcome. The 'cold sigh' (āh-e sard) is a literary trope representing deep sorrow or regret that 'freezes' the soul. In cities like Tehran, 'sard' is used to describe the impersonal nature of modern life compared to the 'warm' village life of the past.
The 'I am cold' trick
Remember: Sard + am (me) + e (is) = Sardame. It's like saying 'Cold is on me'.
Don't be a 'Cold Fish'
Calling someone 'sard' is a serious comment on their personality in Iran. Use it carefully.

The Yogurt Rule
If you're at an Iranian home and they offer you walnuts with your yogurt, it's to balance the 'sard' nature of the yogurt!
