सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Iran, greetings are often accompanied by a slight nod or a hand over the heart to show sincerity. The phrase is used similarly, but the pronunciation might be slightly more guttural depending on the region. While they use Persian, they often use 'Ruz-e khush' as well, but 'Asr' greetings are understood.
The Suffix Rule
Always remember that '-tan' is for formal/plural and '-tun' is for informal. This rule applies to many Persian words.
Taarof
Don't be surprised if people respond with a longer blessing. It's part of the culture!
