'Persian' refers to something or someone from Iran (formerly Persia), the Persian language (Farsi), or the culture of Persia. It can also mean a breed of long-haired cat.

用法与细微差别

'Persian' can be a noun (a Persian person, cat) or adjective (Persian culture, Persian food). For the language, 'Persian' or 'Farsi' are both used but 'Persian' is more formal in English. Avoid 'Persian' for anything unrelated to Iran or its history.
