Significado
Indicating that something happened or will happen after the scheduled time.
Contexto cultural
In Iranian business culture, 'mo'ed' is sacred in contracts, but negotiations often happen if you are late. It's called 'chane-zani' for time. Socially, being 'dirtar az mo'ed' is common, but people will use 'Ta'arof' to apologize profusely even if they don't mean it. In Dari, 'mo'ed' is also used, but 'waqt' is more frequent in daily speech for deadlines. Tajik uses 'mūhlat' (مهلت) more often than 'mo'ed' for deadlines due to Russian influence on administrative terms.
Use with 'Anjam Shodan'
In formal reports, use 'dirtar az mo'ed anjam shod' (was carried out later than scheduled) to sound like a native professional.
Don't use for people
Don't say 'You are dirtar az mo'ed.' Say 'You arrived dirtar az mo'ed.' The phrase describes the action, not the person.
