🌍

文化的背景

In Tehran, 'nazdik' is a relative term. Because of traffic, a place 5km away is 'far', but a place 1km away is 'near'. Always ask 'How many minutes?' rather than 'How many kilometers?'. When invited to a home, the host might say 'We are near' (Ma nazdikim) to encourage you to come, even if they live on the other side of town. It's a way of saying 'You are welcome anytime'. The concept of 'Qurb' (closeness) is central to Persian poetry. Poets like Rumi use 'nazdik' to describe the relationship between the lover and the beloved (God). With the rise of apps like Snapp (Iran's Uber), 'nazdik' is now most commonly seen on smartphone screens indicating the driver's distance.
