Hello again, language lovers! After exploring Persian’s rich history, let’s dive into some words that make this language so special. Here are five I adore—and I think you will too!

1. سلام (salaam) – Hello

A warm greeting you’ll hear everywhere in Iran. Try it: “Salaam, how are you?”

2. دوست (doost) – Friend

Persian poetry is full of friendship—like Rumi’s verses. Say: “You’re my doost!”

3. نور (noor) – Light

Think of Nowruz, the Persian New Year—full of light! “The room is full of noor.”

4. کتاب (ketaab) – Book

A nod to Persian’s literary past. “I’m reading a kitaab tonight.”

5. عشق (eshgh) – Love

A deep word Hafez loved. Whisper: “Eshgh is all around us.”

These words are just a taste of Persian’s beauty—each one carries a story. Which one’s your favorite? Tell me below or follow us on social media!
