意思
To achieve success or bring honor to oneself or one's family.
文化背景
The concept of 'Aberoo' is central. Iranians will go to great lengths to ensure they are 'Roosefid' in front of guests, often spending more than they can afford on a party to avoid being 'Roosiyah'. The 'Konkur' (National Entrance Exam) is the ultimate 'Roosefid' moment. Entire neighborhoods will know if a student has made their family 'white-faced' by getting into a good university. In Sufi poetry, 'Roosefidi' is often used to describe the soul being pure and ready to meet the Creator, free from the 'blackness' of sin. On Instagram, Iranians use the hashtag #روسپید (#Roosefid) when posting about their children's achievements or sports wins.
Use with 'Pish-e'
Always mention who you made proud using 'pish-e' (in front of). It makes you sound more native.
Not for health
Never use this to describe someone looking pale or ill. It will be very confusing!

The opposite
Learn 'Roosiyah' (black-faced) at the same time. They are two sides of the same cultural coin.
Ta'arof
If someone tells you 'Roosefidam kardi,' a good response is 'Khahesh mikonam, vazifeh bood' (You're welcome, it was my duty).
