뜻
To consume a meal or nourishment.
문화적 배경
When 'ghazā khordan' at an Iranian home, it is polite to leave a tiny bit of food on your plate to show you are absolutely full, otherwise, they will keep refilling it! During Ramadan, 'ghazā khordan' in public during daylight hours is generally avoided out of respect for those fasting. Traditional 'ghazā khordan' happens on a 'Sofreh' on the floor. The eldest person usually starts eating first as a sign of respect. In cities like Rasht (the food capital), 'ghazā khordan' in the street markets is a major social event late into the night.
The 'Drinking' Secret
Don't be afraid to use 'khordan' for liquids. Saying 'chāyi khordam' (I ate tea) is much more natural than using the formal verb for drinking.
Ta'arof Alert
If someone offers you food, they might say 'Befarmāyid'. You should decline once or twice before accepting—this is the dance of Persian politeness!
