意思
To consume water.
文化背景
Offering water to a guest is the first rule of hospitality. Even if they don't ask, a glass of water is often brought out with tea. Many people drink water in three sips, following the Sunnah, and remember the thirst of the martyrs of Karbala. There are strict beliefs about NOT drinking water while standing, or immediately after eating fruit, as it's believed to cause 'coldness' in the stomach. In Tehran, carrying a reusable water bottle is becoming a trend among the youth, though 'Ab-e Shir' (tap water) is generally safe and widely consumed.
The 'Eat' Secret
If you want to sound 100% native in a casual setting, always use 'khordan' (to eat) for water. 'Nushidan' is for your Persian exam!
Religious Respect
If you are with a religious family, drinking water in three sips is a very respectful gesture.
