意味
To touch with the lips as a sign of affection or greeting.
文化的背景
The 'Three-Kiss' Rule: In many parts of Iran, especially Tehran, the standard greeting involves three kisses on the cheeks, alternating sides. It's often accompanied by a series of 'Ta'arof' questions about one's health. In Afghanistan, kissing the hand of a religious leader or a family patriarch is a very common sign of 'Ehtiram' (respect). It is often followed by touching the hand to one's forehead. Tajik culture shares the Persian warmth but has been influenced by Soviet-era Russian customs. You might see more formal handshakes followed by a single kiss among men in urban areas like Dushanbe. In the West, many Iranians adapt their 'Rubusi' to the local culture, sometimes reducing it to two kisses or a 'half-hug' to avoid confusing their non-Persian friends, while maintaining the full three-kiss ritual with fellow Iranians.
The Air Kiss
In 'Rubusi', you don't always have to make lip-to-skin contact. Often, it's a 'cheek-to-cheek' touch with a kissing sound made in the air.
Gender Boundaries
Always be mindful of gender. If you are unsure, a simple handshake (if they offer) or a hand over the heart is the safest bet.

If you're in a group, watch others first. If they do three kisses, follow suit. It shows you're culturally attuned!
