Here in Wales in the UK, back in the 1970s and into the 1980s, my mother and my aunties would Tarof (I never had a word for it haha) whenever they went out for lunch or even just a coffee. I always knew it was coming - an intense battle as purses were brought out of handbags and each demanded that they were paying 😂😂😂 As a child I found it all very funny and charming, but it was done out of love and respect for each other. Each time one of them would win and pay the bill, and over time I think it all worked out to be fair. We definitely don't have the taxi drivers offering rides for free though (even if it would have been Tarof) as they get the money up front through an app on your phone lol. These traditions are fascinating and important culturally, but over time they will die out I am sad to say. Perhaps you could do a video about haggling at shops or markets as I woudl be interested to see how that works in Iran. I have been to Istanbul and enjoyed the haggling in the great bazaar, the invite to sit down for tea or coffee, the walking away from the shop with the shopkeeper calling after you and saying, come, sit sit, let us talk and find an agreement 😍 - I loved the game and I got some bargains and - I suspect - I paid over the fair price as well for some of my purchases 🤦♂🤦♂ So if possible it would be fascinating to see how different styles of shopping work in your home town and country. Once again, love your videos and hope more and more people discover your channel :)
It’s so fascinating to hear that Tarof-like battles happened in Wales too-I guess we’re all united in our love of awkward-yet-charming payment wars! You’re right, traditions like these hold so much love and respect, and it’s bittersweet to see them fade away. I might just take my phone to a bazaar and give you a glimpse of it, but first I need to get more subscribers. It probably helps with the confidence of recording outdoors! Thank you for the inspiration and your lovely words-they mean so much! ✨"
A taarof is egy olyan dolog ami menővé teszi Iránt a külső szemlélő számára de lehet hogy a hétköznapokban idegesítő. 😀 Több videót néztem ahol annak örült az utazó, hogy ingyen volt a taxi, a vásárlás stb. 😄Ha fellendül a turizmus akkor a taaroffal valamit kezdeni kell. 😁
Yeh, I experienced it in Iran 😆
😄
These life and culture videos are very interesting, thanks you and I hope you keep making them and get more subscribers!
Thank you, I will

I personally like Tarof
Tarof is such a fascinating and unique part of our culture
