Significado
To express that an event or situation brings great pride.
Contexto cultural
The phrase is a cornerstone of 'Ta'arof'. It is often used even if the person doesn't literally feel 'pride', simply to show they are well-bred. Students almost always use this when addressing their 'Ostād' (Professor) for the first time or in emails. In Iranian business culture, building a relationship (rabet-e) is more important than the contract. This phrase helps build that bond of respect. Celebrities use this phrase constantly in interviews to thank their fans, emphasizing that the fans are the source of their honor.
The 'Bande' Trick
If you want to sound like a pro, use 'باعث افتخار بنده است' instead of 'من'. It adds an extra layer of humility.
Don't Overuse
If you say this to the guy selling you bread, he will think you are making fun of him. Keep it for special occasions.
