Contexto cultural
The 'Dialogue Among Civilizations' (گفتگوی تمدنها) was a major Iranian initiative at the UN, emphasizing the word's connection to peace. Classical poets used 'goftegu' to describe the spiritual debate between the heart and the mind. On Iranian Twitter/X, 'goftegu' is often used ironically to call out people who refuse to listen to other opinions. In Iranian business culture, a 'goftegu' is rarely just about the contract; it's about building a relationship (Rābeteh).
