Signification
A person with whom one forms a new friendly relationship.
Contexte culturel
When you meet a 'doost-e jadid', it is common to be invited for tea or dinner almost immediately. This is not just a polite gesture but a core part of Iranian hospitality. In Dari Persian, 'doost-e naw' is sometimes used, but 'doost-e jadid' remains widely understood and used in urban centers like Kabul. Tajik Persian often uses Cyrillic script. The phrase would be 'дӯсти нав' (dusti nav). Young Iranians often use 'Rafigh' instead of 'Doost' to sound more casual and loyal.
The Ezafe is Key
Always pronounce the small 'e' between the words. It's the glue of the Persian language.
Hospitality
If a new friend invites you over, it's polite to bring a small gift like flowers or sweets (shirini).

Don't over-use 'Rafigh'
In very formal settings, stick to 'Doost'. 'Rafigh' can sound a bit too 'street' for a job interview.
