Contexte culturel
When someone says 'Tabrik migam' to you, it is polite to respond with 'Salāmat bāshid' (May you be healthy) or 'Mamnun' (Thank you). In Dari, 'Tabrik bāshad' is more common than 'Tabrik migam'. The meaning is identical, but the verb structure differs slightly. Tajik speakers use 'Tabrik mekunam' (I do congratulations), using the verb 'kardan' instead of 'goftan'. In the West, many Iranians use 'Tabrik' as a standalone noun in English-Persian 'Pinglish' sentences.
