मतलब
To provide a response or be accountable for something.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In the Iranian Bazaar, 'pāsokhgu budan' is linked to 'e'tebar' (credit/reputation). A merchant who is not 'pāsokhgu' quickly loses their standing in the community. On Persian Twitter/X, the hashtag #پاسخگویی is often used to demand answers from celebrities or officials during scandals. In Dari Persian, the term is equally formal and used in government and NGO sectors to discuss project transparency. While formal, parents might use this with older children to teach them about the consequences of their actions, moving away from simple obedience to accountability.
Use it in Emails
Ending an email with 'ما همیشه پاسخگوی سوالات شما هستیم' (We are always available for your questions) sounds much more professional than just 'جواب میدهیم'.
Don't over-formalize
Don't use this with friends for small things. It sounds like you're in a courtroom!

The 'Ta'arof' overlap
Sometimes people say they are 'pāsokhgu' just to be polite (Ta'arof), even if they can't actually help. Look for actions, not just words.

Yes! You can say an app or a website is 'pāsokhgu' if it responds quickly to user inputs.
The most common opposite is 'غیرپاسخگو' (non-responsive) or 'بیمسئولیت' (irresponsible).
No. It can simply mean being available and helpful, like a good customer service representative.
Use 'پاسخگویی' (Pāsokhguyi). For example: 'Accountability is important' = 'پاسخگویی مهم است'.
Yes, very frequently. It defines who is liable or responsible in a contract.
Technically yes, but it sounds very formal. 'من باید به مادرم جواب بدم' is more natural for family.
'Pāsokhgu' is slightly more formal and 'Persian-sounding'. 'Javābgu' is very common in speech and slightly more neutral.
Yes, it is the present stem of 'goftan' (to say). So it literally means 'answer-saying'.
Only if you are having a very serious talk about the relationship's future and responsibilities. Otherwise, it's too cold.
