Fln is a slang abbreviation for "felan," a Persian word that means "for now" or "at the moment." People often use it in casual online chats or texts to give a quick update or pause a conversation without getting too formal. For example, if someone replies "fln" in a conversation, they're usually signaling a temporary situation, like "I'm busy right now" or "Let's put this on hold."
The "fln" abbreviation began appearing in Iranian digital spaces in the 2010s, particularly among younger Farsi speakers on Telegram, Instagram, and WhatsApp platforms. Teens and young adults who blend Persian with texting culture, often dropping vowels, are the ones most likely to use the abbreviation (similar to saying brb or ttyl in English).
