Signification
A casual farewell, indicating a future meeting.
Contexte culturel
Saying goodbye in Iran is rarely a single sentence. It's a process called 'Khoda-hafezi' that involves multiple steps of thanking, wishing well, and finally parting. In Tehran, the youth often shorten the phrase to just 'Mibinamet' or use the English 'Bye' followed by 'Ba'dan mibinamet'. In Afghanistan, 'Ba'dan mibinamet' is understood but 'Baz mibinamet' (باز میبینمت) is more common for 'See you again'. Tajik speakers might use 'Salomat boshed' (Be healthy) alongside farewells, and the script would be Cyrillic: 'Баъдан мебинамт'.
The 'Et' Factor
The '-et' at the end is your best friend for informal Persian. It turns 'I see' into 'I see YOU'.
Watch the Age Gap
If the person is significantly older than you, stick to 'Khoda-hafez' to be safe.
