To prove to be helpful, beneficial, or of practical value in a situation.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Iranian offices, using 'mofid vaqe shodan' in emails is a sign of high education and respect for hierarchy. It avoids the bluntness of 'it was good'. Persian academic writing is heavily influenced by formal Arabic structures. This phrase is a staple in the 'Conclusion' section of theses. News anchors in Iran use this phrase to describe the success of government projects or international treaties, giving the report an air of objective success. When receiving a gift that is practical (like a kitchen appliance), saying it 'mofid vaqe shod' is a way to tell the giver their choice was wise and appreciated.

Don't Overuse
