Significado
Used to indicate a direction, guiding someone to a specific path.
Contexto cultural
Guiding a guest is a sacred duty. A host will often walk slightly ahead to 'open the way.' Using 'Tashrif' with this phrase elevates the guest's status, making the simple act of walking a royal procession. In the crowded streets of Tehran, 'Az in var' is used quickly to help people navigate through traffic or bazaars. The concept of 'taraf' (side) is often used in Sufi poetry to describe the direction of the Beloved or the Truth.
The Palm Gesture
Always use an open palm, not a pointing finger, when saying this to be extra polite.
Don't over-pluralize
Only use 'taraf-ha' for the social greeting, never for giving actual directions to the bathroom!
