این کجاست؟

in kojast?

Where is this?

意思

A question to ask for the location of something nearby.

🌍

文化背景

When pointing at something, it is more polite to use your whole hand rather than just the index finger, especially in formal settings. In Tehran, the 'ast' is almost always shortened to 'e'. You will hear 'In kojaye?' much more often than the formal version. If you ask 'In kojast?' about a landmark, don't be surprised if the person offers to take you there. This is part of 'Mehman-navazi' (hospitality).

💡

Use your phone

If you have a location on Google Maps, show it and say 'In kojast?' — it's the most effective way to get help.

⚠️

Avoid for people

Never point at a person and say 'In kojast?'. It sounds like you are asking where an object is located.

Yes, if you are pointing at it on a map. If you are in the city, say 'Inja kojast?'.

Both are correct. 'In kojast' is the standard spoken and written form. 'In koja ast' is very formal.

Simply change 'In' to 'Un' (informal) or 'An' (formal): 'Un kojast?'.
