As an A1-level learner, you will find this phrase indispensable for maintaining flow. It functions as a phatic expression, confirming that the listener has processed the information provided by the speaker.
In upper-intermediate contexts, 'درسته' serves as a pragmatic marker. It is used to acknowledge the validity of a premise before introducing a counter-argument or a nuance, effectively managing the turn-taking in a dialogue.
