意思
The act of washing oneself under a shower.
文化背景
In Iran, cleanliness is not just hygiene but a spiritual requirement for prayer. While 'dush gereftan' is secular, the habit of daily washing is deeply ingrained. Modern apartments in cities like Tehran often only have showers to save space, making 'dush gereftan' the universal term for bathing. Older generations might still use 'hammam raftan' even if they are just showering at home, reflecting the history of public bathhouses. Due to chronic water shortages, there are public campaigns in Iran encouraging 'dush-e kootah' (short showers).
The 'Take' Rule
Remember that Persian 'takes' a shower just like English. If you remember 'take', you'll remember 'gereftan'.
Avoid 'Kardan'
Using 'dush kardan' is the most obvious sign of a beginner. Stick to 'gereftan'.

Spoken Form

If someone smells nice or looks fresh after a shower, you can say 'Aafiyat bashad' (May it be health).
