Signification
To acquire knowledge and proficiency in a new language.
Contexte culturel
Iranians highly value multilingualism. It is common for children to start English classes as early as age 5. In Afghanistan, learning Dari and Pashto is common, and English is seen as a vital tool for international work. Tajik speakers often 'yād gereftan' Russian as a second language due to historical ties. Second-generation Iranians in the West often use 'yād gereftan' when attending 'Saturday schools' to keep their heritage language alive.
Use with 'Dāram'
To sound more natural, use the present continuous 'Dāram yād migiram' when talking about your current studies.
The 'Rā' Trap
Don't forget to add 'rā' after the language name if it's a specific object (e.g., Fārsi rā).
