Bedeutung
Reassuring someone not to feel anxious or troubled about something.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Iran, 'Negaran nabashid' is a cornerstone of Ta'arof. It is often used to minimize one's own trouble to make others feel comfortable. If you help an Iranian and they say 'Zahmat shod' (It was a trouble), you should reply 'Negaran nabashid, zahmati nist'. In Dari Persian spoken in Afghanistan, the phrase is equally common but might be followed by 'Tashakor' (Thank you) more frequently in a cycle of mutual politeness. Tajik Persian (using Cyrillic script: Нагарон набошед) uses this phrase, but 'Tashvish nakashed' is often preferred in formal settings. In the diaspora (Tehrangeles, London, etc.), 'Negaran nabashid' is often mixed with English: 'Negaran nabash, everything is okay!'
The Magic of 'Aslan'
Add 'Aslan' (at all) before the phrase to sound more native: 'Aslan negaran nabashid!'
Watch the Ending
Always use 'nabashid' (plural) for anyone you'd call 'Sir' or 'Ma'am'. 'Nabash' is only for close friends.

In Iran, this phrase is almost always accompanied by a slight head tilt and a warm smile to show sincerity.
