Bedeutung
Used to agree with someone's statement or opinion.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Tehran, you'll often hear the 'ast' shortened to 'e' (Harf-e shomā doroste). It's the standard for daily business and social life. Shirazis are known for their extremely polite and poetic speech. They might use 'Hagh ba shomāst' more frequently to sound more gracious. In Dari, 'گپ' (Gap) is often used instead of 'Harf'. So you might hear 'Gap-e shomā dorost ast'. Tajiks use the same structure but might pronounce it with a distinct accent, and often use 'Fikr-e shomā' (Your thought) as a synonym.
The 'Ama' Pivot
Always follow this phrase with 'ama' (but) if you want to sound like a native diplomat. It shows you've listened before you speak.
Avoid 'To'
Never use 'Harf-e to' with someone you don't know very well. It sounds patronizing.
