सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Even if an Iranian host has very little to offer, they will say 'Deltan khosh bashad' to imply that the joy of your company is more important than the food. The phrase is a simplified version of complex Sufi ideas about 'Rida' (acceptance of fate). The hashtag #دلخوشی is used by young Iranians to share photos of coffee, books, or nature, reclaiming the idiom for a modern 'aesthetic' of mindfulness. When someone shows you a new expensive item, saying 'Ba del-e khosh' is a way to be polite without focusing too much on the price or material value.

Better to use 'rezayat-e shoghli' (job satisfaction) unless you are talking about your life philosophy.
