意思
A polite invitation for someone to enter a room or building.
文化背景
When you say 'Lotfan dākhel shavid', the guest will often wait for you to lead the way or insist that you enter first. This is part of Ta'arof. In Dari, 'Lotfan dākhel shavid' is also understood, but 'Befarma'id dākhel' is slightly more common in Kabul. Tajik Persian uses 'Marhamat' instead of 'Lotfan' very frequently. Always ensure the path is clear and you are not blocking the doorway when saying this phrase. Body language is as important as the words.
Use your hands
When saying this, gesture toward the room with an open palm. It makes the invitation feel much warmer.
Don't forget the 'id'
If you just say 'dākhel shav', it sounds like a command. Always keep the '-id' for politeness.
