Dari, also known as Afghan Persian, is one of the two official languages of Afghanistan, along with Pashto. It is primarily spoken in the central and northern regions of the country, as well as in some parts of neighboring Iran. Dari has a rich cultural heritage and is deeply intertwined with the history and traditions of Afghanistan.
| صبح بخیر || Sobh bekheir || Good morning


Afghanistan is a diverse country with various ethnic groups, and each group has its own unique customs and traditions. Greetings in Dari can vary depending on the region and the social context. For example, in more conservative areas, people may greet each other with a simple nod or a handshake, while in urban areas, a hug or a kiss on the cheek may be more common. It is important to be aware of these cultural nuances when greeting Dari speakers to ensure respectful and appropriate interactions.

If you want to be more formal, you can use the phrase "درود بر شما" (dorood bar shomaa), which means "greetings to you" and is pronounced as "doh-rood bar sho-maa."
