뜻
A polite request to increase speed, either in speech or movement.
문화적 배경
In Tehran, 'Lotfan sari'tar' is almost a mantra. Due to the massive traffic jams, people are constantly rushing to make up for lost time. In the Bazaar, time is money. However, using 'sari'tar' during a negotiation might signal weakness. It's better to use it for logistics (packing goods) than for price haggling. When hosting, an Iranian will never say 'sari'tar' to a guest. It would imply they want the guest to leave. Conversely, a guest might say it if they don't want to be a burden. Bureaucracy in Iran can be slow. 'Lotfan sari'tar' is used with a lot of 'Ta'arof' and titles like 'Jenab' (Sir) to try and speed up paperwork.
The 'Lotfan' Rule
Always start with 'Lotfan' if you are talking to someone older or a stranger. It changes a command into a request.
Don't Overuse
If you say it too many times to a driver, they might get annoyed and drive dangerously or stop the car.

Add 'Ye khorde'
Saying 'Ye khorde sari'tar' (A little faster) is even more polite as it suggests you only need a small change.
Body Language
A slight lean forward or looking at your watch while saying this helps convey urgency without needing a louder voice.
