المعنى
To provide an opportunity for someone to do something.
خلفية ثقافية
In Iranian business culture, giving an opportunity is often seen as a form of 'Lotf' (favor). If a boss gives you a chance, it's common to express deep gratitude. In Dari Persian, 'forsat dādan' is equally common but might be replaced by 'majāl dādan' in formal radio broadcasts. Tajik Persian (written in Cyrillic) uses the same phrase: 'фурсат додан'. It is heavily used in state media regarding development. Second-generation Iranians often mix this with English, saying 'Chance dādan', but 'Forsat dādan' remains the mark of a fluent speaker.
Use with Subjunctive
After 'forsat dādan', use 'tā' (so that) followed by a verb in the subjunctive mood.
Preposition Alert
Always use 'be' (to) for the person. Saying 'u ra forsat dādam' is a common error.

Ta'arof Context
If someone offers you a 'forsat' multiple times, it is likely a genuine offer, not just Ta'arof.
