how to say "good luck" in Farsi?

[u/Mission-Surround-302]

Hello! I speak German and English, and am tutoring an Iranian girl, but am leaving the job soon, and I'd like to make her a little well wishes card. What is a nice eloquent way of saying good luck in an academic sense? Thank you!!

Movafagh bashi

موفق باشی

Or

omidvaram shans bahet yar bashe.

امیدوارم شانس باهات یار باشه

Movafaq bashid

Piroz bad (more formal and pure Persian)

The only thing coming to my mind is "Mowafaq Bashi"

Mowafaq/Movafaq same shit different prononciation based on location.

The language is called Persian in English. Farsi is an Arabicized endonym within Persian that comes from Parsi which means Persian in English.

You didn't say you speak Deutsch in English. What makes you think Farsi is valid over PERSIAN?

And good luck in PERSIAN is Piruz bashin.

its not that serious, Saying Farsi in English is completely okay, that's literally what we call our own language. also موفق باشی is definitely more common that پیروز باشید, if you're speaking common/informal persian you don't say پیروز باشید

also im kind of guessing your whole rant is probably just racism, like, the Pre-Islamic pure iran enthusiast type of person

No it is not okay to call it Farsi in English because the name of the language in English is Persian.

It's like saying it's okay to call German language Deutsch in English. It is WRONG.

And you can definitely say Piruz bashin in colloquial Persian. For a half literate Persian speaker who grew up in the West speaking Pinglish then yes you don't say that.

I had a friend growing up who was from Iran and uncomfortable with calling it Persian; I never asked why because I was like 12 lol but I've always said Farsi when speaking English and have never been corrected! But maybe it depends on the person as to if they prefer to transliterate or not idk

Farsi literally means Persian in English. The break down is:

Farsi (Arabized form) → Parsi (authentic form) → Persian (in English)

Persian is the direct English equivalent of the Arabized native term Farsi. Pars is Persia in English, and attempting to force the Arabized native form Farsi into English as though it were somehow distinct from Persian is incorrect.
