When greeting in Persian, the answer "and you?" is not used.

Slang
In slang, there is no difference between "be going to" and "want".
Examples:
- I'm going to the cinema(formal) = من قصد دارم به سینما بروم
- I want to go to the cinema(formal) = من می خواهم به سینما بروم
- I'm going to the cinema(slang) = من می خواهم به سینما بروم
- I want to go to the cinema(slang) = من می خواهم به سینما بروم
In slang, the future verb is not used. The adverb is used with the present tense
Examples:
- I will go to Tehran tomorrow(formal)
- I'm going to Tehran tomorrow(informal)=فردا(قید) به تهران می روم (زمان حال)
