뜻
A common and polite inquiry about someone's health or well-being.
문화적 배경
In Iran, 'Khubid?' is often the start of a long 'Ta'arof' sequence. You might ask it multiple times in different ways during one conversation. In Dari Persian, 'Khubid' is understood but 'Chutor hastin' is more common in Kabul. The politeness levels remain similar. Tajik speakers use Cyrillic script (Хубед?), and while the grammar is the same, the intonation can be more melodic. In cities like Los Angeles (Tehrangeles), 'Khubid?' is often mixed with English, but the polite '-id' ending is strictly maintained when speaking to elders.
The 'Safe' Bet
If you aren't sure whether to be formal or informal, always use 'Khubid?'. It's never offensive.
Don't just wait for an answer
In Iran, you often ask 'Khubid?' and then immediately ask another question before they even finish answering.

Watch the 'a'
Be careful not to say 'Khabid' (Are you asleep?) when you mean 'Khubid' (Are you well?).
The Tehrani 'n'
If you want to sound more like a local in Tehran, say 'Khubin?' instead of 'Khubid?'.
