Significado
Used to reassure someone that a mistake or inconvenience is not an issue.
Contexto cultural
In Iranian culture, 'Eybi nadāre' is a key part of 'Gozasht' (forgiveness). It's considered noble to dismiss small mistakes quickly to avoid making the other person feel 'Sharmandeh' (ashamed). In Dari, you might hear 'Parwa nadara' (پروا نداره) which means 'It doesn't matter' or 'No worries', serving a very similar social function. Tajik speakers use 'Aybe nadorad' but often prefer 'Hech gap nest' (It's no talk/no big deal) for minor issues. Younger generations often shorten it even further to just 'Eyb nadāre' in fast speech or text.
The Smile Factor
Always say 'Eybi nadāre' with a small smile. Persian is a very tonal language in terms of emotion; a flat delivery can sound sarcastic.
Not for 'Thank You'
Never use this to respond to 'Thank you'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers!

Ta'arof Check
If someone says 'Eybi nadāre' but their face looks upset, they might be doing Ta'arof. Offer a small apology one more time to be safe.
