        <p>I am bit old and my Persian friend Pervaiz used to call me one thing that I look like &#8220;KHUSH DAMAEN&#8221;<br />
What it means??<br />
Can anybody translate it to me?<br />
Cause he smiles and don&#8217;t tell me the meaning<br />
Is this a bad or evil character in Persian society?

        <p>How do you say &#8220;Random&#8221; in Farsi?&nbsp; I look up and find:</p>

<p>تصادفى، اتفاقى، بى نقشه، بدون ترتيب </p>

<p>بدون ترتيب is more like &#8220;non-sequitor&#8221;, right?</p>

<p>Which one of the others captures &#8220;random&#8221; the best?&nbsp; </p>

<p>I like to say &#8220;that was random&#8221; a lot. Or just, when something weird happens, like when YOU walk by, an exclamation of &#8220;random&#8221; would be appropriate.

        <p>Hey, can you use<br />
 مقررات نبرد <br />
for &#8220;rules of engagement&#8221; ?</p>

<p>نبرد<br />
 like all the<br />
 نبرد <br />
 that Rostam would do.&nbsp; With div&#8217;s and stuff.&nbsp; What a weird word.&nbsp; <br />
Nabord.&nbsp; <br />
Didn&#8217;t take.

        <p>My favorite word these days:&nbsp; Assets.&nbsp; As in </p>

<blockquote><p>Well then why didn&#8217;t you list &#8220;wheelbarrow&#8221; among our assets?</p></blockquote>

<p>So I&#8217;m looking in the dictionary and it says:&nbsp; <br />
dArAi - دارايى <br />
ne&#8217;mat - نعمت<br />
mu (or mow) habat/hebat (?) - موهبت<br />
emtiAz - امتياز</p>

<p>This is why dictionaries can be useless.&nbsp; Now, if they had it in a sentence, then I&#8217;d know which one was the best pick.&nbsp; </p>

<p><span style="font-size:16px;">آخه چرا چرخ دستى را جزوه نعمتهامون حساب نكردى؟</span>

        <p>A visitor to the site asks:</p>

<blockquote><p>Quiz Question<br />
No one seems to be able to answer this quiz question for me. Please help.<br />
Much in evidence in the news these days who, or what, derive their name from the Persian word for students? Thank you. I have told friends about you site.</p></blockquote>

<p>Thanks for telling friends about the site!</p>

<p>Not sure I understand the question. The Persian words for student are dAnesh Amuz -<span style="font-size:16px;"> دانش آموز</span> - or dAnesh ju - دانش جو -&nbsp; or mohsel  محصل.&nbsp; I think the quiz is asking about the word - tAleb - طالب - which I think has Arabic roots and refers more usually to a seminary student, a seeker.&nbsp; tAleb, plural is tAlebAn -&nbsp; in the news more usually as Taliban -&nbsp;  طالبان</p>

<p>Anyone else have insight?&nbsp; </p>

<p>Hey, محصل seems related to تحصيل - of course.&nbsp; Studies.

        <p>OK, so is there a way to say &#8220;Time Warp&#8221; in Persian?</p>

<p>وقت ورم<br />
تاب زمان<br />
OK, I&#8217;m looking in a dictionary and it says:</p>

<p>گسستِ خيالى</p>

<p>So, &#8220;let&#8217;s do the time warp again&#8221; would be?
