Signification
Expressing strong agreement with someone's statement.
Contexte culturel
Agreement is often a part of 'Ta'arof'. Even if someone disagrees, they might start with this phrase to be polite before offering a counter-point. In Dari, 'Kāmelan dorost megoyed' is also used, though 'Haq ba shomast' is very frequent in Kabul's formal circles. Tajik Persian uses 'Shumo tamoman durust meguyed'. The word 'tamoman' is often used instead of 'kāmelan'. In Iranian business, silence is not always agreement. Explicitly saying this phrase is necessary to show you are 'on the same page'.
The 'Nod' Factor
In Iran, accompany this phrase with a slight head nod to double the perceived politeness.
Don't Overuse
If you say it after every single sentence the other person says, it can start to sound robotic or insincere.

10 questionsYes, it is very respectful. However, if your family is very casual, 'Dorost migid' might be more natural.
Both are great. 'Kāmelan dorost miguyid' is slightly more focused on the conversation itself.
Never say 'You're wrong'. Instead, say 'Kāmelan dorost miguyid, vali...' (You're right, but...) or 'Be nazare man...' (In my opinion...).
No, you can just say 'Dorost miguyid', but 'Kāmelan' adds a nice emphasis that makes the agreement feel warmer.
It is perfect for emails. You can write: 'همانطور که شما فرمودید، کاملاً درست میگویید.'
It's closer to 'You are right' in terms of social function, though literally it's 'You say correctly'.
It might sound a bit too formal for a date unless you are discussing a serious topic like politics or art.
The shortest polite version is 'Doroste' (It's right) or 'Daqiqan' (Exactly).
Yes, in formal speech. In very casual speech, people might just say 'Kāmel'.
It's a secular phrase, but it's used by everyone regardless of religious background.
