I'm so happy that you love them. We use "Delesh khoshe" a lot, especially in a situation that someone doesn't care about any pains and sorrows in this world. We use it also for someone who is idealistic and doesn't see the reality.

Yes my friend, nearly all of them.

You have seen camel; you haven't seen. (Shotor didi, nadidi.) => yoU have doNe somethinG wrong, and yoU want to understand a persoN to not tell anybody else! *you say “ shotoR didi nadidi!” means thaT imaginE you haveN’t seeN anything wronG froM me!

I wanted to see who my nosey person is?! (Meekhastam bebeenam foozoolam kieh?!) => wanT to make someonE understand thaT somethinG is none of his business !

Is this rude to say to someone older than u??
And ba Namak means cute? Namak doesn't mean salt?

Yes, it is rude to say to someone older than you : "Mikhastam bebinam foozoolam kieh", but 'shotor didi nadidi' is not rude but informal, and 'namak' means 'salt' but 'banamak' means cute! You wouldn't say your food is 'banamk' to mean it is 'salty', instead you would say it is 'shoor'.

can we say shotor did na didi if we in a situation likefor example : i dont want u to tell anyone that i tell u this.. so i say shotor didi na didi. can?
