A conversation between Rebekah and I

While at the salsa bar at Cactus with Rebekah today:

C: How do you say ‘Here, take this,’ in Persian?
R: بفرماید (Befarmaeed.) [Go ahead ; By all means ; Be my guest ; Please, have some]
C: Really?
R: Really.
C: Doesn’t that seem overly formal?
R: You’ve been Persian for how long?
