معنی
To take on the duty or blame for something.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Iranian corporate culture, taking responsibility is seen as a sign of 'Modiriyat' (management) potential. Leaders who admit mistakes are often more respected than those who hide them. The concept of 'Gardan gereftan' (taking on the neck) is a deeply rooted cultural idea of chivalry. It implies protecting others by taking the blame yourself. In Dari, 'Mas'uliyat' is also used, but 'Bar dush gereftan' (taking on the shoulder) is a very common and poetic alternative. Tajik speakers use the same root but might write it in Cyrillic (масъулият). The verb 'paziruftan' remains formal.
Use it in Interviews

Don't over-formalize
If you use this with your spouse for forgetting the milk, it might sound sarcastic.

The Chivalry Link
Iranians value 'Mardanegi' (manliness/integrity). Taking responsibility is the ultimate expression of this.
