Hava sard ast

The weather is cold

意思

A phrase describing cold weather conditions.

🌍

文化背景

Iranians use weather talk as a form of 'Pish-daramad' (prelude) to more serious topics. It's considered polite to acknowledge the environment before asking for a favor or starting a business meeting. The concept of 'Sardi' (coldness) is linked to lethargy and certain illnesses. When the weather is cold, people are advised to eat 'Garm' (warm) foods like honey or ginger to maintain internal balance. Winter and cold weather are often used in 20th-century poetry to symbolize political oppression or social isolation, most notably in the poem 'Zemestan' by Akhavan Sales. In winter, it is a common cultural practice to offer a guest a 'Korsi' (a low table with a heater underneath and a large blanket over it) to combat the 'Hava-ye sard'.

🎯

Use the spoken form

If you want to sound like a native, always use 'Hava sarde' in conversation.

⚠️

Don't say 'Man sardam'

Always add 'ast' at the end: 'Sardam ast'. Without it, it's incomplete.
