Signification
Asking for someone's viewpoint on a subject.
Contexte culturel
Asking 'چه نظری داری؟' is often a prelude to Ta'arof. If someone asks your opinion on their gift, you are culturally expected to give a very positive one. Young people in Tehran often shorten this even further to 'نظرت؟' (Nazaret?) in text messages, dropping the verb entirely. In Afghanistan, the phrase is similar but often uses 'نظر داری؟' or 'چی نظر داری؟' with a slightly different accent and stress pattern. Tajik Persian might use 'Fikr' (thought) more frequently than 'Nazar' in casual speech, though 'Nazar' remains understood.
The 'I' suffix
Always include the 'i' at the end of 'nazar'. Saying 'Che nazar dāri' sounds like a robot or a very old textbook.
Plurality for Politeness
If you are talking to someone older or a stranger, always use 'dārid' instead of 'dāri'.

Pair with 'Be nazaram'
A great way to keep the conversation going is to say 'What do you think? In my opinion...' (Che nazari dāri? Be nazaram...)
Don't be too blunt
If someone asks you this, and you have a negative opinion, start with 'Well...' (Vali...) to soften the blow.
