Signification
Without taking something into consideration.
Contexte culturel
In Iranian universities, using this phrase in a thesis is a sign of 'Nezām-mandi' (systematic thinking). It shows the student can isolate variables. It is used to politely bypass a compliment or a gift's value. If someone says 'This gift is small,' you reply 'Regardless of the gift, your presence is what matters.' The phrase is equally common in Dari and is used in the same formal registers, especially in Kabul's administrative language. While Tajik uses more Russian loanwords for technical terms, 'صرف نظر از' (sarfi nazar az) remains the standard literary form for 'regardless'.
The 'Inke' Rule
If you want to sound like a pro, use 'صرف نظر از اینکه' followed by a subjunctive verb for hypothetical situations.
Don't over-formalize
In a fast-food joint, don't say 'Regardless of the calories...'. Just say 'Faday-e saresh!' (Never mind it!).
