뜻
Stating that one is available.
문화적 배경
In Iran, saying 'Man vaqt dāram' is often a sign of 'Ta'arof'. Even if someone is busy, they might say they have time to be polite. You should look for other cues to see if they are truly free. In Dari Persian, the phrase is the same, but the pronunciation of 'vaqt' might be sharper. The cultural value of hospitality is equally strong. In Tajik, written in Cyrillic (Ман вақт дорам), the phrase is identical in meaning but the verb 'doram' is used. Younger Iranians often use 'Time dāram' in texts. It's considered cool and informal.
Drop the 'Man'
In casual conversation, just say 'Vaqt dāram'. The '-am' at the end already tells people you are talking about yourself.
Avoid 'Hastam'
Never say 'Man vaqt hastam' to mean 'I am free'. It's a common beginner mistake.

Ta'arof check
If someone says 'Vaqt dāram' but looks at their watch, they might be being polite. Offer to talk later!
