Its called taroof. I understand that its strange to outsiders i find it a bit silly too.

>>71869264
Welcome to Taarof

>>71869264
My family tends to do this too, though we aren't Iranian

>>71869291
It is always the european flags who enlighten us on any muslim things.

>>71869264
Taroof, la, just your standard taroof

It's not Muslim and it's similar to how many Chinese act, I have experienced this myself but from Chinese family of my friends. I didn't realise Iranians had a similar thing or that there were names for both of them.

welcome to Taroof

Redpill me on taroof. What does it even mean as a word?

>>71869264
it's just taroof m8

Exactly how many Iranians to we have in this board??

>>71870539
It's arabic for the process of meeting someone

>Likewise, a shopkeeper may initially refuse to quote a price for an item, suggesting that it is worthless ("ghaabel nadaareh"). T'aarof obliges the customer to insist on paying, possibly several times (three times), before a shopkeeper finally quotes a price and real negotiation can begin.

Wow thats really dumb

This is a pretty Irish autist thing to do as well.

>one example of taarof could be described as posing false invitations and promising future services or deeds to primarily strangers or distant relatives and expecting them not to take the offer and keep declining it.

fucking lol this makes zero sense to me

just don't make the offer in the first place kek

i don't see it as being a big problem or anything

it just seems like a funny way to complicate shit needlessly lol

although:

>It is possible to ask someone not to t'aarof ("t'aarof nakonid"), but that raises new difficulties, since the request itself might be a devious type of taarof

>mfw caught in a devious web of taarof

There is a similiar thing, you get offered a gift, you act flattered and decline it, he starts telling you what a good person you are and you should take it, yadda yadda, in the end he says something like "i swear by god, you'll take it" and then you're forced to take it or you force him to fast 3 days for lying about a swear (rude)

So this custom is illogical; it doesn't serve society but instead hinders progress by diverting precious human resources into protocol and social overhead.

Just because you can explain a phenomenon in logical terms doesn't mean it's justifiable.

Now, eliminate this custom or FUCKING NUKES

Honestly, with how socially retarded I can be, I'm certain I'd take it seriously at least once. For a small thing like a book, for example.

We have the same kind of bullshit here, but only related to who pays when eating at a restaurant. It's basically a race when the waiter brings the tab , who can give give him money first.
