A2 Expression 非正式

از خودت بگو

az khodet begu

Tell me about yourself

意思

A request for someone to share personal information or experiences.

🌍

文化背景

Iranians value personal stories but might be modest due to Ta'arof. If they say 'nothing much', ask again specifically about their work or family. In Dari, the phrase is very similar: 'Az khodat bogo'. The cultural emphasis on hospitality and sharing is identical. Tajik speakers use 'Az khudat gū'. The 'kh' sound is often softer, but the sentiment remains the same. In the diaspora (Tehrangeles, London), this phrase is often used as a way to maintain cultural connection and 'check in' on the community's well-being.

🎯

The 'Kami' Trick

Add 'kami' (a little) to the start: 'Kami az khodat begoo'. It makes the request sound less heavy and more casual.

⚠️

Watch the 'Kh'

Don't pronounce 'kh' as 'k'. It's a throat sound. If you say 'kodat', people might not understand you.

If someone answers 'Salamati' (health), it means 'nothing special'. Follow up with a specific question!

Yes, you can, but 'az' is much more common in spoken Persian.

Not at all! It's very friendly. Just use the formal version for elders.

Start with 'خب' (well) and mention one or two things about your work, studies, or hobbies.

از خودتون بگید (Az khodetoon begid).

Yes, but in a much more casual, conversational way.
