More about Ghand

Ghand is sugar, and the course's memory hook is a picture: a sugar cube held between your teeth while you sip tea through it. Offer it with tea: Ghand mikhayn? to an elder and Ghand mikhay? to a friend. You can also use it with Ba (with): Ghahve ba ghand mikham is I want coffee with sugar. It is taught in Module 8, lesson 5, in the lesson called Baba Bozorg's sugar cube. Because the pair Mikhay and Mikhayn is the same ask at two levels of politeness, this word shows both in one lesson.
