Signification
The act of meeting someone or visiting a place, often for formal or social purposes.
Contexte culturel
The 'cycle' of visits is crucial. If you are visited, you must return the visit within a reasonable timeframe, or it is seen as a slight. In big cities, 'didar va bazdid' is becoming more condensed due to traffic, often happening in large 'Dorehami' (gatherings) rather than individual house calls. After returning from Karbala or Mecca, the 'didar va bazdid' involves bringing back 'Soghati' (souvenirs) for every visitor. In Iranian government speech, this phrase is used to signal that a meeting was not just a talk, but included a physical inspection of progress or facilities.
Use the light verb 'dashtan'
Instead of saying 'I visited', say 'We had visits' (Didar va bazdid dashtim). It sounds much more natural in a social context.
Don't forget the 'Baz'
If you only say 'Didar', it's just a meeting. The 'Bazdid' part shows you understand the reciprocal nature of Persian culture.
