सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Sofreh' is a sacred space. Saying 'Ghazā بخورید' is often followed by 'Nosh-e jān' (May it be sweet for your soul) once the guests start. In Dari, the phrase is very similar, but hospitality can be even more insistent. You might hear 'Befarmāyid nān bokhorid' (Please eat bread/food). Tajik Persian uses 'ovqat' (from Arabic 'waqt' - time/mealtime) more often than 'ghazā'. In modern Tehran, people might use 'Ghazā-tun ro bokhorid' (Eat YOUR food) more frequently in casual settings.
The 'Befarmāyid' Combo
Always pair 'ghazā bokhorid' with 'befarmāyid' to sound like a native host.
Don't be too bossy
If you say it too loudly or without a smile, it can sound like a command rather than an invitation.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
4 सवालNo, you can just say 'bokhorid', but 'ghazā' makes it clearer you are talking about a meal.
No, for drinks use 'benushid' (drink) or more commonly 'bokhorid' with the drink name (e.g., 'chāy bokhorid').
The informal version is 'ghazā bokhor'.
Say 'Biyāyid ghazā bokhorim'.
