Farsi is not in the same linguistic family as Arabic, Arabic is a Semitic language like Hebrew, and Farsi is actually an Indo-Iranian language so it´s distantly related to Indo-European languages like English.

Hi, if i understand correctly, greet Ramazan bayramı´ when break fast after Ramadan. What about when fast begin? My arab friend told me they greet by saying Ramadan Kazeem, does is apply in turkey too?

Im Chinese from Malaysia and admire the cultural. Hope my question not offend any.

Jingi, please try googling  to find dates, etc.

Muabark is used in Urdu language, Karim is arabic but also used in Urdu language. The people in Arab countries, used to say "ramdan karim", (as i noticed in saudi arabia).


But in Pakistan, poeple used to say "Ramdan Mubarak". No matters, what you use, the thing is how much you get blessed being religious in this Muabark month.

So this Ramadan Karim is Mubarak to you all.

 Its greeting words for "Month Ramadan" not for its ending "Ramazan Bayramı". In Turkey we say "Hayırlı Ramazanlar" or "Ramazanınız Mübarek Olsun" we dont say "Ramadan Kareem" because its arabic.

Ramadan started on 1st September at Malaysia, just curious is it same day in Turkey too

Thanks for sharing this Roswitha. First time i heard bout Mubarak, usually i heard friends  wish Ramadan Karim

 Didn´t know that, sorry. (I must say they look very much the same to me....   )

Ramdan starts at the same time all over the world, it usually just dffers one day depending on when they saw the moon (i think).......

It starts the same day, but not the same time. Yesterday a Turkish friend told me at 19.40 Turkish time it was iftar while - also Turkish time - it was iftar here at 21.28! A difference of almost two hours longer fasting!

yeah but at the place where they fitar earlier the fajr is earlier so they have less time to eat and drink bt the place where they fast late the fajr s also late depends on where you are in the world, when the time the sun comes up and the time when the sun goes down, again i repeat (i think)
