A2 Expression 正式

خوبید؟

khubid?

Are you well?

意思

A common and polite inquiry about someone's health or well-being.

🌍

文化背景

In Iran, 'Khubid?' is often the start of a long 'Ta'arof' sequence. You might ask it multiple times in different ways during one conversation. In Dari Persian, 'Khubid' is understood but 'Chutor hastin' is more common in Kabul. The politeness levels remain similar. Tajik speakers use Cyrillic script (Хубед?), and while the grammar is the same, the intonation can be more melodic. In cities like Los Angeles (Tehrangeles), 'Khubid?' is often mixed with English, but the polite '-id' ending is strictly maintained when speaking to elders.

🎯

The 'Safe' Bet

If you aren't sure whether to be formal or informal, always use 'Khubid?'. It's never offensive.

💬

Don't just wait for an answer

In Iran, you often ask 'Khubid?' and then immediately ask another question before they even finish answering.

⚠️

Watch the 'a'

Be careful not to say 'Khabid' (Are you asleep?) when you mean 'Khubid' (Are you well?).

💡

The Tehrani 'n'

If you want to sound more like a local in Tehran, say 'Khubin?' instead of 'Khubid?'.

常见问题

Yes! It is the polite way to address a single person, similar to 'vous' in French.

The most common answer is 'Mersi, shoma khubid?' (Thanks, are you well?).

Yes, it's very common in emails, texts, and informal letters.

You say 'Khubam' (خوبم).

It's grammatically correct but sounds very strange and overly formal. Use 'Khubi?' instead.

Usually, you still say 'Mersi' first, then maybe 'Yek kam khaste-am' (I'm a bit tired).

No, it specifically refers to well-being and health.

'Khubin' is just the colloquial Tehrani pronunciation of 'Khubid'.

Yes, it's used at any time of day.

It's a secular greeting, but perfectly fine to use with religious figures.
