意味
A question to ask for the location of something further away.
文化的背景
When asking for directions using 'آن کجاست؟', it is polite to start with 'ببخشید' (Bebakhshid - Excuse me). Iranians value politeness (Ta'arof) highly. In the capital, Tehran, the 'ā' sound in 'ān' often shifts to 'u'. This is a hallmark of the modern spoken accent. In Persian, the distinction between 'this' and 'that' is very sharp. Using 'this' for something far away sounds much more 'wrong' than it does in English.
The 'Un' Shortcut
If you want to sound like a native speaker immediately, always say 'Un' instead of 'An' in conversation.
Don't forget the 'st'
English speakers often say 'An koja?' but the 'st' (is) is grammatically required.
