Culture
Greetings
Persian culture is a culture of community. In Iranian culture, greetings tend to be affectionate. Men kiss other men and women kiss other women at social events. If they meet on the street, a handshake is the more common greeting. When Iranians greet each other they take their time and converse about general things. Younger people greet the older first. The most common greeting is سلام "salâm" or درود “dorood” Hello.
Writing from right to left, the basic word order in Persian is subject-predicate-verb. The verb is always placed at the end of the sentence. In Persian verb endings mark the person, the number and the tense. Therefore, a verb may be considered as a complete sentence or a clause by itself and does not need a subject at all times.
