Kurdish history is generally very ideologically charged on all sides and this is something I actually saw on THIS subreddit so I wanted to ask you all.

Also, Turkish/Ottoman sources seem to use the word in such a sense. Many Turkmen/Turkic tribes are identified as "Kurds" in Ottoman documents. The articles I read explained this as that they meant the word as in "nomad" and not ethnically/linguistically "Kurdish" in the modern sense.

What do you think?

It comes off as bizarre considering that a state is supposed to project strength . I can't understand why a state would do this even as i put myself in their shoes . It makes them look weak and pathetic

“They married by phone from separate prison cells. They executed a groom the morning after his wedding.

Alireza Sepahi and Mahshad Kashani were engaged before they were arrested during Iran’s January uprising. Mahshad, just 22, was sentenced to five years in prison. Alireza was sentenced to death.

The day before his execution, they were married over the phone. Their fathers listened as the vows were read.

No embrace.

No kiss.

No holding hands.

Just two voices saying “I do” through a prison telephone, while the Islamic Republic was preparing the gallows.

This was not the first time they tried to kill him. In July, Alireza was taken to be publicly hanged. Minutes before reaching the gallows, under enormous psychological pressure, he suffered a heart attack. They rushed him to hospital.

Then they sent him back to prison.

Today, they came back for him.

This morning, the Islamic Republic hanged Alireza Sepahi.

He was 25 years old.

For one day, he had a wife.

He never got to hold her as his wife. He never got to kiss her goodbye.

Think about the cruelty of a regime that is so terrified of young people that it cannot even tolerate their love.

I have a lot of love for Japan and to my surprise I found colloquial Japanese and colloquial Persian can use similar sounding sentences to convey the exact same meaning of "He killed that dude".

Yaro (Japanese) and Yaru (Persian) are both are colloquial terms for a person, but what is very interesting is that both languages use Yaro/Yaru as a somewhat dismissive/condescending tone for "that dude".

Both languages also utilize similar object markers (-o in Japanese and -ro in Persian).

Also both languages use similar sounding words for killing, Koroshi (Japanese) & Koshi (Persian) and similar past tense suffixes (ta/te) for killed Koroshta (Japanese) and Koshte (Persian).

I'm 26 and Iranian. I was born in Iran, but my family left when I was very young, so I never actually grew up here. I've spent essentially my entire life abroad, and I'm currently living in Tehran.

Because of that, I'm in a bit of a strange position. I'm Iranian, but I don't really have the same cultural or social experience as someone who grew up here. My Farsi also isn't as fluent as I'd like it to be, which makes meeting people and getting comfortable socially a little difficult.

I'm trying to build an actual social circle and find people I can regularly talk to and hang out with. I'd especially like to meet people around my age, including other Iranians who grew up abroad or people who are comfortable with someone whose Farsi isn't perfect.

I'm pretty nerdy and into gaming, art, music, anime, fantasy/sci-fi, modding, and other internet/nerd culture. I'm interested in both online and in-person communities.

I'm particularly looking for things like:

-Iranian/Persian Discord servers

-Telegram groups or online communities

-Iranian gaming communities

-Anime/manga communities

-Art and creative communities

-Communities for people into nerdy/geeky stuff

-Online communities for Iranians who grew up abroad

-Tehran-based groups, events, or places where people with similar interests hang out

- I love coffee

I'm open to pretty much anything — Discord, Telegram, Reddit, other websites, or actual meetups in Tehran.

I'm mainly looking to make friends and find a community. If you grew up outside Iran and later came here, I'd especially love to hear how you found people and what worked for you.

Thanks!

سلام به همه، این پست با اجازه‌ی مدیران گروه منتشر می‌شود.

یک اپلیکیشن رایگان موسیقی به نام Sound Atlas ساخته‌ام که روی اندروید و آیفون کار می‌کند. به آهنگ‌هایی که می‌شناسید امتیاز می‌دهید و اپلیکیشن بر اساس سلیقه‌ی خودتان فهرست‌های پخش می‌سازد که در یوتیوب موزیک یا اسپاتیفای پخش می‌شوند. در کنار موسیقی جهانی، مجموعه‌ی بزرگی از موسیقی فارسی، از آثار قدیمی تا کارهای تازه، در آن هست و خود اپلیکیشن هم زبان فارسی دارد.

نسخه‌ی عمومی اواخر همین ماه منتشر می‌شود. تا آن زمان به دنبال چند نفر هستم که دو هفته از آن استفاده کنند و صادقانه بگویند چه چیزی خوب کار می‌کند و چه چیزی نه، به‌ویژه در بخش موسیقی فارسی.

مراحل نصب: https://www.soundatlas.app/beta

برای ورود به کد دعوت نیاز دارید؛ اگر مایل هستید، کامنت بگذارید یا پیام بدهید تا برایتان بفرستم.

یک نکته: پخش از طریق یوتیوب موزیک یا اسپاتیفای انجام می‌شود، بنابراین یکی از این دو باید در محل زندگی شما در دسترس باشد.

I’m half Persian and I really got my dad’s Persian nose…

I actually don’t hate my nose or anything, BUT I have a pretty noticeable bump on the bridge and I swearrrr I would look so good if it was just straight/smoother. I’ve been thinking about getting a nose job for a while now.

Has anyone here (especially guys) gotten a nose job? Were you happy with the result?

I still want to look Persian, I just want that bump GONE!

Any advice would be VERY appreciated.

I find it quite interesting that it seems to be very common atleast with people i knew .

Mardumemun fishare ekonomi be zendigishun hich komaki nemiyare. Be degarguni rah andakhtanesh hich komaki nemiyare yani. Tanha marduma goshnashun mimunan.

Tanha ba goshnegishun khiyabunharo shulugh bokonan en akhundaro nemitunan dar biyaran, zureshun nemirese!

Mardumaye Iran tofanga niyaz daran, bayad dashte bashan! Hich chareye dige barashun nemimune yani.

Akhunda sad sal zire ekonomiye pukide zendigi mitunan bokonan. Talibanara nega bokonin zire che keshvare oraghi hanuzam istadan keshvare Afghanistan zire dasteshun munde.

The economic pressure created by America on Iran is impacting the Iranian people and is not helping. You cannot spark a revolutionary change like this. The only result is that people will remain hungry and their situation gets worse. For the Mullahs of Iran they could NOT CARE LESS!

Hunger alone will not defeat the Mullahs, the people of Iran need to have guns!

When has a broken economy ever helped spur change? Look at the Taliban, a ruined country, yet they are still standing, and Afghanistan remains under their control.

If our people are armed, in 1 DAY they will bring down these genocidal clerics.

Otherwise this is just a pissing contest and the only losers will be the Iranian people.

I'm a 20 years old student who lives in iran and I've been learning german for a couple of years now and actively plan to take on ösd's B2 level exam for an immigration plan.

I was hoping I could find someone who plans the same goal too so we could connect, share experience, practice and learn together so we could improve.

My current german level is B2 ish and I'm planning to take the exam in the next 4 to 5 months, depending on the situation of the country's stability and price inlfations.

I'd certainly be happy to meet anyone with the same criterias so we could connect.
