My favorite Persian t’Arof, right up there with “step on my eyeballs” and “I am your sacrifice” is this one. “extiAr dArid.” (Others write it as ekhtiaar, ekhtyar, ekhtyaar. Sound it out: ecch, like yeccch, ti like tea, Ar, like are. eccch-tea-are, d-are-eed. extiAr dArid. See our transliteration section). What does it mean, and why is it the coolest t’Arof ever?
