Persischer

Persischer is a German adjective form derived from persisch, meaning "Persian" — i.e., relating to Persia (historically) or to modern Iran, its culture, language and people. Grammatically, persischer appears as an inflected attributive form (for example in ein persischer Teppich, nominative masculine singular with an indefinite article) and may take different endings according to gender, number and case.

The term is commonly found in compound names and descriptions such as Persischer Teppich (Persian carpet), Persischer Garten (Persian garden), and Persischer Golf (Persian Gulf). In such usages it denotes origin, style or association with Persian cultural, artistic or geographic traditions. Related German words include Persisch (the Persian language or the adjective in base form) and Perser (a person from Persia/Iran, though modern usage often prefers Iranian).

Etymologically persisch and its inflected forms trace back through Latin and Greek to Old Persian Pārsa, the name of the region and people of ancient Persia. The adjective is used in scholarly, descriptive and everyday contexts to reference historical periods (e.g., Achaemenid Persia), cultural artifacts (carpets, poetry, cuisine) and geographic terms, while avoiding anachronistic or imprecise conflations between historic Persia and the contemporary state of Iran.
