To state that one successfully recalls something.
خلفية ثقافية
In Iranian culture, forgetting a guest's preference is considered a minor social lapse. Saying 'Yādam هست' about a guest's tea preference is a sign of great hospitality. The concept of 'Yād' is central to Sufi poetry, where 'Zekr' (remembrance) is the path to the divine. 'Yādam هست' can have spiritual undertones in poetry. The hashtag #یادم_هست is often used in Iran to commemorate historical events or social movements, turning a personal phrase into a collective statement. In Afghanistan, 'Yādam ast' is used similarly, though the pronunciation of 'hast' as 'ast' is more common in daily speech.
Use the Short Form
If you want to sound like a local in Tehran, always use 'Yādame' instead of 'Yādam hast'.
Don't say 'Man yādam هست'
The 'Man' (I) is usually redundant because the '-am' already tells us who is remembering. It sounds more natural without 'Man'.

الأسئلة الشائعة
10 أسئلةMostly, yes. But literally it means 'My memory exists'. It's a state of being.
Yes! 'Yādat هست فلانی؟' means 'Do you remember so-and-so?'.
Use 'Yādam nist' (یادم نیست).
'Yādam hast' is neutral/informal. 'Be khāter dāram' is formal/literary.
No, for future use 'Yādam mimāne' (I will remember).
It's a bit too informal. Stick to 'Yādam هست' or 'Be khāter dāram'.
That means 'It's coming to me'. It's slightly more dynamic than 'Yādam hast'.
Say 'Yādemān hast' (یادمان هست).
Not really a slang word, but 'Yādame' is the standard casual way.
It can mean 'remembrance' or 'mention' in other contexts.
