wait I'm curious. was it the word 'chiz'? my dad always just refers to the remote as 'oon' lmao
lmaooooo nah, chiz is like....... a VERY common filler word that gets used ALL the time. i swear, i am very much fluent in farsi!! also, i realistically think chiz translates to thing, more than a "technical thingamabob." but lolol at oon... tbh same
no, the word was "masmasak" ("musmusak?" idk how to write in fingilisi...) which like honestly... i have realistically never heard anyone use that in ANY context other than about the remote control!!!!!! that's why i just thoUGHT THAT WAS THE WORD!!!!!!!
#i get a lot of people asking me what the word was#(which lol sorry i probably should have included that in my original post...........my bad)#and it is LEGITIMATELY HILARIOUS the types of ''oh was it this word'' questions i get#because sometimes they're very common words and it's like nah that wasn't it#but SOMETIMES it's like VERY UNUSUAL UNIQUE WORDS that i'm like waIT WHAT i haven't heard that word EVER#because i obviously speak like conversational farsi#but have a hard time with like... Very Formal Farsi#(like watching the news is hard sometimes bc they use words that you just don't use in regular life)#and it's been an Education living with my cousins who just came from iran#bc they speak very formal farsi#and like..... half the words i'm like wtf is that#like they asked me for a pillow once and they used the word 'motakah'#and i was like ????????????????????????????????????????#they were like ...oh...uh pillow?#DO YOU MEAN BALESH BITCH#now i just make fun of them for speaking like a bunch of nerds#like calm down my dudes we are all friends here we don't need to get all Ketabi#anyway these tags are very unrelated and possibly make no sense to people who don't speak farsi but whatever#if one person Gets It then my work is done#ask#anonymous
