Significado
A question about quantity or price.
Contexto cultural
When asking 'Cheghadr?', expect the shopkeeper to initially refuse payment as a sign of respect (Ta'arof). You must ask at least three times to get the real price. Asking 'Cheghadr pool dari?' (How much money do you have?) is considered very rude in Iran, just like in many Western cultures, unless you are very close family. A host will often ask 'Cheghadr bekhesham?' (How much should I serve/pour?) when giving you food. It's polite to ask for a small amount first.
The 'Price' Shortcut
If you forget the full sentence, just pointing and saying 'Cheghadre?' is perfectly polite in a shop.
Don't use for people
Never use 'Cheghadr' to ask how many people are coming. Use 'Chand nafar'.
