Translating to “you are my love”, this phrase can be used in response to a lovely comment by a loved one. Derived from the word eshgh “عشق” (love), you can flip the expression around and add the possessive pronoun “my”, or suffix “-am” in Persian: “eshgh” + “am” = eshgham (عشقم) to mean ''my love''.

Both Ziba (زیبا) and Khoshgel (خوشگل) mean beautiful. Ziba is formal, literary and poetic and is at times used as a female name. Khoshgel on the other hand is rather colloquial and not commonly used as a name.

In Persian (Farsi), "jigar" (جگر) literally means "liver." However, it's often used affectionately in colloquial speech to refer to someone dearly loved, similar to "dear" or "sweetheart" in English. For instance, a parent might call their child "jigar" as a term of endearment.
