Salaam Hongda,


Thank you for your question.

The answer depends on the situation, but you can use the following sentence almost in any situation:


خوشحال می‌شم با هم شام بخوریم. khoshhaal misham baa ham shaam bokhorim.

Literal translation: I would be glad if we could have dinner together.


Please feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
