Today's Farsi word I came across in a BBC Persian article. I couldn't actually find it in a dictionary, but taking it apart, I believe it's a compound of "book" and the verb "to read." If that's correct, it would be pronounced "ketabkhani" and would mean something like "book-reading." (The illustration bore this out, as it was a photo of a bunch of people reading books.)
This pleases me, because the word for "library" is "ketabkhaneh," which is literally "book-house." So you go to the ketabkhaneh to do your ketabkhani.
