Signification
A polite way to say goodbye, indicating a future meeting.
Contexte culturel
Goodbyes are often accompanied by a slight bow or placing the right hand over the heart to show sincerity. The 'un' sound is very typical of the Tehran accent. In other cities, you might hear 'tan' more clearly. In Iranian business culture, ending a meeting with a promise to see each other again is vital for building 'Etemaad' (trust). On Iranian social media, 'میبینمتون' is often abbreviated in 'Pinglish' (Persian in English script) as 'mibinametoon' or 'mbinmtun'.
The 'Polite Plural'
When in doubt, use 'Mibinametun' instead of 'Mibinamet'. It's always safer to be too polite than too casual in Persian.
Pair it with Khodafez
Most Iranians say 'Khodafez, mibinametun' together. It sounds more complete.
