Salām golhā-ye zibā! 🌸 (Hello, beautiful flowers!)
There’s something magical about flowers, isn’t there? They’re soft, vibrant, and effortlessly beautiful — just like someone you love dearly.
In Persian, one of the most poetic and tender ways to address a loved one is with the word “gol” (گُل) — which means “flower.”

Let’s explore the sweetness of “gol-am” (گلم) — my flower — and learn how to use it like a native romantic!
🗣 Pronunciation Practice!
The Persian word for "flower" is gol (گل), pronounced just like the English word "goal" but shorter and softer.
Here are two beautiful endearments:
-
gol-e man (گُلِ مَن) – my flower
-
gol-am (گُلم) – my flower (a more natural, spoken contraction)
📝 Note: "Gol" is written without short vowels in Persian, but the correct spoken form includes "o" (gol).
