Signification
A greeting for religious holidays like Eid al-Fitr.
Contexte culturel
Iranians often visit the eldest member of the family first on Eid morning. The greeting 'Eid Mubarak' is the 'password' to enter the house and receive sweets. In Afghanistan, Eid is celebrated for three days. The greeting is often accompanied by a triple hug among men. Tajiks use 'Id Mubarak' and often prepare a special 'Dastarkhan' (tablecloth) with fruits and sweets for guests who come to say the greeting.
The Response Matters
If someone says it to you, always say it back! 'Eid-e shoma ham mobarak' is the perfect reply.
Suffixes are Key
Adding '-etun' makes you sound much more like a native speaker than just saying the base phrase.

Questions fréquentes
2 questionsYes, but it's better to say 'Eid-e Nowruz Mobarak' to be specific, as 'Eid' alone often implies the religious ones.
In Persian pronunciation, it's closer to 'Eyd' (rhymes with 'paid'), but 'Eid' is the standard English transliteration.
