There are varying levels of politeness in Persian/Farsi. In the last lesson, we looked at the formal and informal "you" as well as the respectful he/she forms. But there are also specific verbs that you use depending on who you are talking to. In 2018, I wrote a blog post about this, but I wanted to do an oral lesson on it because these verbs are so common.
This lesson looks at everyday verbs (the normal ones learned when we begin the language-learning journey) used in casual speech and their honorific equivalents used in formal situations. From work to shopping to taking a taxi and everything in between, these honorific/formal versions are used daily. They are part of the system of "taarof", cultural formalities in which we show respect to others by placing them in a higher position while making ourselves seem more humble.
The point of this lesson is to make you aware of these formalities. If they are new to you, it may take some time to get the hang of it, but as a first step, it's important to be able to understand them and know that they are simply the formal versions of basic verbs. If you can use them, that's great! But as a non-native language learner, nobody EXPECTS you to use them and you won't offend anyone by not using them. There are always other ways to convey respect and politeness such as using the formal you, tone of voice, gestures, etc.
