Contexto cultural

When entering a room or an elevator, Iranians will often say 'Befarmāyid jolo' (Please go ahead/front) to show respect to others. In Iranian taxis, the 'jolo' seat is often prized for having more legroom and a better view, and is usually offered to the most senior person. Traditional Persian houses often have a 'jolo-khān', an open space or vestibule in front of the main entrance.

🎯

The Taxi Rule

If you are alone in a taxi, always sit 'jolo' unless you want to be very formal or the seat is taken.

⚠️

Ezāfe is Key

Never say 'jolo bank'. It must be 'jolo-ye bank'. The 'ye' sound is the glue.
