Referring to the exterior or outer part.
Contexto cultural
Traditional Persian houses were divided into 'Biruni' (the public area for guests) and 'Andaruni' (the private family quarters). This word literally shaped how people lived. Iranians love 'birun raftan' (going out), which usually involves parks, walking in the mountains (like Darband), or sitting in cafes for hours. When leaving a house, guests might say 'birun' to indicate they are heading out, and the host will insist they stay longer.
The Ezafe Rule
Always add the '-e' sound (بیرونِ) if you are saying 'outside of [something]'.
Kharej vs Birun
If you say 'Man raftam kharej', people will think you moved to Europe or America, not that you stepped into the garden!
