Significado
A recently acquired automobile.
Contexto cultural
Buying a new car is often celebrated with 'Esfand' (burning wild rue) to ward off the 'Evil Eye' (Cheshm-e Nazar). In Tehran, the type of 'mashin-e jadid' you drive is a significant indicator of social class, especially in Northern vs. Southern districts. Iranians use the word 'Sefr' (Zero) to describe a brand new car, referring to the odometer reading.
The 'Zero' Trick
If you want to sound like a local, call a brand new car 'Mashin-e Sefr' (Zero Car).
Don't forget the Ezafe
Saying 'Mashin Jadid' without the 'e' sound makes you sound like a robot or a very early beginner.

Perguntas frequentes
3 perguntasYes, but 'Khodro' is formal (like 'vehicle'). In daily speech, 99% of people say 'Mashin'.
No, for a 'new person' (like a new student), we usually use 'taze-vared' or just 'jadid' in specific contexts, but it's mostly for objects.
You can say: 'Az mashin-e jadidet khosham miyad.'
