معنی
To abandon or relinquish an idea, plan, or possession, often with a sense of finality.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Iranian culture, 'Gheyd zadan' is often a response to 'Ghesmat' (fate). If things aren't working out despite effort, one might 'strike the bond' as a way of accepting that it wasn't meant to be. In the fast-paced life of Tehran, this phrase is used constantly regarding traffic and time management. It reflects a pragmatic approach to the city's chaos. Parents might use this phrase to encourage children to stop pursuing unrealistic or dangerous goals, often using a protective tone. In the traditional Bazaar, 'Gheyd-e sood ra zadan' (giving up on profit) is a common tactic to close a deal or maintain a relationship with a long-term customer.
Use the Suffix
To sound like a native, use 'Gheydehsh ro zadam' instead of naming the object every time if it's already known in context.
Too Harsh?
Be careful using this about people. Saying 'Gheyde tora zadam' to someone's face is a very aggressive way to end a relationship.
