User “Simon Link,” who describes himself on Twitter as “a translator and interested in Iran and the Persian language,” criticized in a post the fact that Iranians, in their conversations, use English words and other language words “without necessity.” He wrote: “A strange sentence I heard was: mer-si sissy muv-affaq bash-i, adi-os! Mer-si (thanks) = French, sissy (sister) = English. muv-affaq bash-i = Persian, adi-os (goodbye) = Spanish. I really got confused and my brain froze! But finally, I figured out.”

He wrote “Persian is gratitude,” and it is a pity that, without any particular reason, words from other languages are brought into Persian sentences and conversations.”
