Signification
Expressing good wishes for an achievement.
Contexte culturel
When you congratulate someone, they might say 'Shirini-ye an ra bayad bekhorim'. This is a hint that the person who achieved something should buy sweets for everyone. On social media, 'Tabrik' is often shortened to just 'Tabrik' or 'Mobarak' in comments to be quick. People often add 'Mashallah' (What God has willed) after 'Tabrik' to protect the person from the 'Evil Eye' (Cheshm-zakhm). In formal letters, 'Tabrik' is often paired with 'Tahniat' (another word for congratulations) to sound more professional and literary.
The 'Shirini' Rule
If you congratulate someone, be prepared for them to mention sweets. It's a sign of a good relationship!
Avoid 'Kardan'
Never say 'Tabrik mikonam'. It sounds very foreign and incorrect to native ears.
