Bedeutung
Used to wish someone success in their endeavors.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Iran, 'Movafegh bashid' is often a 'polite exit' phrase. It signals that the conversation is over and you are leaving on a positive note. In Dari, the phrase is also used but 'کامیاب باشید' (Kamyab bashid) is equally common and carries the same weight of wishing for success. Tajik speakers use 'Muvaffaq boshed' (written in Cyrillic as Муваффақ бошед). It is very formal and often used in official speeches. In the diaspora (Tehrangeles, London), the phrase is sometimes mixed with English: 'Good luck, موفق باشی!'
The 'Bashi' vs 'Bashid' Rule
When in doubt, always use 'Bashid'. It is never rude to be too formal in Persian, but being too informal can be awkward.
The Response
If someone says this to you, the most natural response is 'Salamat bashid' (May you be healthy). It's a standard polite exchange.
