Talking to Neighbors

Salam, man hamsayeh-ye jadid-etun dar tabaghe-ye sevom hastam.

Hello, I'm your new neighbor on the third floor.

Use this when meeting older neighbors or in a formal building.

Salam, man tazeh asbab-keshi kardam vahed-e baghali.

Hi, I just moved into the unit next door.

Friendly and direct, good for neighbors of a similar age.

Bebakhshid, postchi in basteh ro ovord chon shoma khuneh nabudid.

Excuse me, the postman brought this parcel because you weren't home.

A polite way to hand over a package you received for them.

Salam, postchi in basteh ro dad be man ta behetun bedam.

Hi, the postman gave me this parcel to give to you.

Bebakhshid, shoma basteh-ye man ro nagereftid? Postchi goft dadeh be hamsayeh.

Excuse me, did you take my parcel? The postman said he gave it to a neighbor.

Useful if tracking shows your delivery was handed to a neighbor.

Bebakhshid, momkeneh sedaye televizion ro kami kam konid? Vaghean bolandeh.

Excuse me, is it possible to turn down the TV volume a bit? It's really loud.

Salam, sedaye muziketun ye khordeh bolandeh. Misheh kamesh konid?

Hi, your music volume is a bit loud. Can you turn it down?

Mazerat mikham, motevajjeh nashodam ke seda ta in had bolandeh. Alan kamesh mikonam.

I apologize, I didn't realize the volume was this loud. I'll turn it down now.

Shows genuine regret and immediate action.

Vay bebakhshid, aslan havasam nabud. Hamin alan sedash ro kam mikonam.

Oh sorry, I wasn't paying attention at all. I'll turn it down right now.

Bebakhshid, shoma ettefaghan ye pich-gushti nadarid ke betunam gharz begiram?

Excuse me, do you happen to have a screwdriver that I could borrow?

Using "ettefaghan" (by any chance) makes the request softer.

Salam, misheh baraye chand daghigheh jarubarghitun ro gharz begiram?

Hi, can I borrow your vacuum cleaner for a few minutes?

Bebakhshid, mashin-e shoma joloye parking-e man park shodeh. Misheh jabajash konid?

Excuse me, your car is parked in front of my parking space. Could you move it?

A direct but polite way to resolve parking issues.

Salam, ruz bekhayr. Omidvaram az zendegi dar in sakhteman razi bashid.

Hello, good day. I hope you are satisfied with living in this building.

Salam, khubi? Az vaghti umadi inja hameh chiz morattabeh?

Hi, are you good? Is everything okay since you moved here?

Very casual, only use with neighbors you already know well.
