We say in persian: setare soheil shodid : you became soheil's star : you visit us rarely
Soheil star*:star of the canopus
Oh yes dear Mahgol,
Do you know why we say " you became soheil's star"?
because in some citys like Isfahan ,Yazd and other can see just for some minutes .
Because when it come up till 6 degrees then go down and we can not see it again .

We say something like this "place your feet and hands a in a cold water" too.but some how in negative point,for example when people are fighting and are angry,or irritating of a matter;another say to them:بزن آب سرد
jump in cold water!= its somehow an ironic remark to point be calm and don't be worried!

surly You can see my name's meaning here in frame of the discussion.
yeah,great kyuri!
as you pointed ,it compound two words and mah means moon in persian.
gol is flower!
I dont know its difference with gul! its only in pronunciation or differes in meaning too?
Ok… OK!
Let me solve this problem please!
Gul is also an English word too!
It is a noun which means:
1. a large octagonal design derived from the shape of a rose, a motif on Oriental rugs.
2. a flower, especially a rose.
Gul has come from Persian which means Flower.
We also have many other words in English that have their roots in Persian, let's see some of them please:
Candy from qand
Sugar from Shkar
Julep from Golab
Lemon from limu
Orange from Narng
