پایان هفته

payan-e hafte

Weekend

The period from Friday evening to Sunday evening, usually non-working days.

🌍

문화적 배경

The weekend is a time for 'Sizdah Bedar' style outings even when it's not Norooz. Families pack 'Jojeh Kabab' and head to any green space available. In Afghanistan, Friday is also the main day off. 'Pāyān-e hafte' is used, but local dialects might favor different terms for leisure. Unlike Iran, Tajikistan follows the international Saturday/Sunday weekend. 'Pāyān-e hafte' there refers to those days. Iranians living in the West often have a 'double weekend' mentality—celebrating the local Sat/Sun but still acknowledging Friday with family calls.

💡

Use 'Akhar' for Friends

If you're texting a friend, use 'Akhar-e hafte' to sound more natural.

⚠️

The Thursday Trap

Remember that many offices close early on Thursday. Don't leave important tasks for Thursday afternoon!
