daily formalities
Explanation:
You realize of course that we are just translating the words...we can't really translate the cultural context...these words are extremely culturally bound.

instead of formalities we can also use: courtesies/civilities/etiquette

disagree  Shella (X): Dear Edward Taarof has it's own place in dictionary, why do we need to translate it?...I prefer to say "I'm not used to routine (daily) Taarof" . What do you think?

  -> Well, I don't think it warrants a "disagree"...the translation is perfectly good. I don't find it in any dictionary. When you use "taarof" with someone for the first time, do they know what it means? Nobody here would know.

Explanation:
Dear Edward, i don't like to be prejudiced but it's time to keep our cultural words as it is(by the way, sorry about warrants & I meant in Wikipedia not dictionary) . As you mentioned we can't translate cultural context so I prefer to keep it as it is.
Fresh example is the word "naan". We always translate the word Naan, but Indians didn't and people in the world know this word as a kind of Indian Bread. Those who don't get the word they can refer to Wikipedia & learn it. What do you think?
