مهرگان · مِهْرَجَان — festival (film, music, cultural)

Persian → ArabicCertainnoun · Society · everyday

This one went the other way: from Persian into Arabic.

Arabic

مِهْرَجَان
mihrajān

/mihradʒaːn/

In Arabic

festival (film, music, cultural)

Persian

مهرگان
mehrgān

/mehrɡɒn/

In Persian

festival (film, music, cultural)

Persian says today: جشنواره jašnvāre

Note. Mehrgān is the Iranian autumn festival; Arabic generalised it to any festival, so a film festival is mihrajān sīnamāʾī.

Spelling. Arabic writes Persian g as j (mehrgān → mihrajān).
