Signification
Asking for the location of the entry point.
Contexte culturel
In many traditional Iranian homes and some public buildings, the entrance is designed to provide 'Mahramiyat' (privacy), so it might not be immediately visible from the street. At major shrines (like Imam Reza in Mashhad), there are strictly separate entrances for men and women. Look for signs saying 'ورودی برادران' (Brothers) and 'ورودی خواهران' (Sisters). In Tehran, 'Vorudi' is often used to refer to the specific gate of a park or a large complex like 'Chitgar' or 'Ab-o-Atash'. On Persian apps (like Snapp or Digikala), you will see 'Vorud' for 'Login'. It's the same root!
Politeness First
Always start with 'Bebakhshid' (Excuse me) or 'Ghorban' (Sir/Madam) to get someone's attention politely.
Gendered Entrances
In religious sites, look for 'Khānom-hā' (Women) or 'Āghāyān' (Men) signs near the Vorudi.

Informal 'e'
Listen for 'Vorudi kojā-ye?' in the street; it's much more common than the formal 'kojāst'.
Ta'arof at the Door
If someone says 'Befarma'id' at the Vorudi, they are inviting you to enter first. It's polite to decline once before entering.
