Significado
A polite way to ask someone about their preference, often for food or drink.
Contexto cultural
The concept of 'Ta'arof' means you should offer something at least three times. Even if the guest says 'No' to 'Che chizi meyl dārid?', you should offer again with specific choices. Hospitality is equally central. The phrase is understood and used, though local Dari variations like 'Chi meyl dārin?' are more common. In Tajikistan, Russian influence is present, but Persian hospitality phrases remain the standard for formal events. In modern cafes, the phrase is often shortened to 'Chi meyl dārin?' to sound less 'stiff' but still polite.
The 'Chi' Shortcut
If you want to sound more like a local, always use 'Chi' instead of 'Che chizi'.
Don't take 'No' for an answer
If a guest says 'Hichi' (Nothing), they are likely being polite. Ask again with specific options.
