لطفاً ببندید

lotfan bebandid

Please close

A polite command to close something, like a door or window.

🌍

문화적 배경

The concept of 'Ta'arof' means you might have to ask twice. If you ask someone to close a window and they say 'It's fine, I like the air,' they might just be being polite. You should insist if you are truly cold. In the fast-paced life of Tehran, 'Lotfan' is often shortened or replaced by a quick 'Bebakhshid' (Excuse me) at the start of the sentence. Closing a deal is 'Bastan-e gharārdād'. It is a formal process often involving tea and multiple rounds of 'Lotfan' and 'Khāhesh mikonam'. In older Iranian architecture, doors often had heavy metal knockers. 'Closing' the door properly was a sign of security and privacy for the 'Andaruni' (inner private quarters).

💡

The 'In' Ending

If you want to sound more like a local in Tehran, change 'bebandid' to 'bebandin'. It's the standard spoken form.

⚠️

The Mouth Rule

Avoid using this phrase with 'mouth' (dahan). It is never polite, even with 'Lotfan'.

Body Language

A small nod or a hand gesture toward the object you want closed makes the request much more natural.

Ta'arof Response

If someone says 'Lotfan bebandid' to you, respond with 'Chashm' (By my eye/Certainly) to be extra polite.
