Office Moments

Colleague: 'allah dukhtar, tu cheqa khonok khoor asti'
Me: aah mefamom.
Colleague: ah dega, kampalam beyaree cheqa maza meta.


It is routine here, whoever brings tea for themselves has to ask the rest if they want coffee/tea/water. i brought it the first time, in the morning. throughout the day, i wouldnt go again. eventually i got frustrated.

Me: chay namekhori??? (what it means is i want water)
Colleague: tu namekhori?
Me: ma awardom wakht, nobatet ast
Colleague: cheqa cheshm safeed asteem, ba omideh yak dega shishteem ke chai beyara.

Colleague brings me tea.

Me: ma kho chay namekhorommmmm. u know i dont drink tea.
Colleague: drink tea, u need to get used to it.
