English translation:Chic
Explanation:
Chic is a French word, established in English since at least the 1870s, that has come to mean smart or stylish. Iranians use many French words and this would be one of them. But in Farsi it is usually written as "shik". That is also the way that French pronounce it as well. One can go deeper in the meaning if more context is provided.

chic


Explanation:
Maybe they meant to say "Chic," meaning stylish or fashionable, but I would have to see context to be more sure.
