Meaning
The feeling of pride and loyalty among team members.
Cultural Background
In Iranian offices, team spirit is often built through 'Chay-khori' (tea drinking) and informal chats. Relationships often precede tasks. The concept of 'Gheyrat' (zeal/honor) is often linked to team spirit. A team with high 'Gheyrat' is seen as having unbeatable spirit. In universities, 'Rouhiye Timi' is a relatively modern term. Older professors might use 'Hamkari' (cooperation) instead. Tehran's tech scene uses 'Rouhiye Timi' exactly like Silicon Valley, focusing on 'culture fit' and 'synergy.'
Use with 'Bala'
To say 'high team spirit,' always use 'Rouhiye timi-ye BALA.'
Don't say 'Rouh-e Tim'
This sounds like you are talking about the ghost of a dead team.

The Power of Food
In Iran, the fastest way to build 'Rouhiye Timi' is to order 'Joojeh Kabab' for the whole team.
Formal Writing
In formal reports, use 'Ensajam-e Timi' for a more professional tone.
