Signification
The common action of composing a written message on paper.
Contexte culturel
In Iran, the opening of a letter is crucial. Even in emails, starting with 'Salam' or 'Be name khoda' is standard. Skipping the greeting is considered very rude. Letter writing is often associated with 'Nasta'liq' calligraphy. A beautiful letter is judged as much by its handwriting as its content. Formal letters in Iran use a specific 'administrative' style (Zaban-e Edari) which is much more complex than spoken Persian.
The Ezafe Connection
When saying 'the writing of the letter', remember the small 'e' sound: neveshtan-e nāme.
Formal Openings
Always start a formal letter with 'Be name khoda' (In the name of God) to sound like a native.
