Kultureller Hintergrund
In Iran, 'Ta'arof' means you might need to ask for a repetition even if you heard, just to show you are giving the speaker your full attention. In Dari Persian, the phrase is very similar: 'Momken ast dobāra begoyed?'. The politeness levels remain high. Tajiki speakers might use 'Mumkin ast ki boz gūyed?'. While the script is Cyrillic, the logic of 'Mumkin' (possible) remains. In the capital, people speak very fast and often drop the 'ast' in 'momken ast' to just 'momkene'.
The Hand Gesture
Slightly leaning your ear toward the speaker while saying this makes it even more natural and polite.
Avoid 'Chi?'
Even if you hear others say 'Chi?', as a learner, it's safer to stick to the polite version to make a good impression.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenYes, it's the most common way to say 'Is it possible' or 'Can I/you' in a polite way.
You can, but 'Mishe dobāre begi?' is more common and less formal for friends.
You can say 'Bebakhshid, mishe ārumtar begid?' (Sorry, could you say it more slowly?).
Because 'begid' is the conjugated form for 'you', and 'goftan' is the infinitive 'to say'.
In books, you'd see the full form 'Momken ast dobāre beguyid', but 'Momkene' is for speaking.
No, just saying 'Again' sounds like a command and is quite rude.
The most formal would be 'Emkān dārad dobāre befarmāyid?'.
Literally yes, but in practice, it just means 'again'.
Yes, it is perfectly understood and used in Afghanistan as well.
Just add 'lotfan' at the end: 'Momkene dobāre begid, lotfan?'.
