معنی
To consume water, often used in a more formal context.
زمینه فرهنگی
Water is considered 'Roushani' (light/clarity). When someone goes on a trip, Iranians throw water behind them to ensure a safe and 'clear' return. Drinking water is often associated with remembering Imam Hussain. People might say 'Salam bar Hussain' after drinking, especially in formal religious gatherings. The 'Ab-anbar' (water cistern) was the heart of Iranian desert cities. The formal language used to describe these structures always uses 'آشامیدن'. Offering water is the most basic form of hospitality. Even if you have nothing else, you offer water. Using formal language like 'آشامیدن' can elevate this simple act into a gesture of high respect.
Spot the Register
If you see 'آشامیدن' in a text, expect the rest of the text to be formal (using 'میباشد' instead of 'است', etc.).
Don't Overuse
Using this in a cafe will make you sound like you're reading from a textbook. Stick to 'khordan' for social life.

The 'Potable' Sign
Look for 'آب آشامیدنی' on fountains in Iran. If it says 'آب غیرآشامیدنی', do NOT drink it!
