뜻
A common farewell phrase wishing someone to stay safe and well.
문화적 배경
The phrase is often followed by 'Be-salāmat' (Go in health), creating a double layer of well-wishing. In modern Tehran, the phrase is often shortened in texts to 'Mvzb khodt bsh' or just 'Mvzb bsh'. Mothers often say this while holding a Quran over the person's head as they leave for a long trip. Some believe that saying this phrase helps ward off bad luck or the 'evil eye' by focusing the person's attention on their safety.
The 'Hā' Trick
Add a soft 'hā' at the end (Movāzeb-e khodet bāsh-hā) to sound incredibly native and affectionate.
Don't use 'Take'
Never say 'Gereftan' (to take) with this phrase. It's a dead giveaway that you're translating from English.

자주 묻는 질문
5 질문'Khodat' is the written/formal pronunciation. 'Khodet' is the common spoken Tehrani dialect. Both are correct, but 'khodet' sounds more natural in conversation.
Only if you use the plural: 'Movāzeb-e khodetun bāshid'. Using the singular 'khodat' would be considered rude.
They are 99% interchangeable. 'Moraqeb' is slightly more formal and often used in written texts or by older generations.
If you just say 'Movāzeb bāsh!' (without 'khodat'), it means 'Watch out!' for an immediate danger like a car.
The most common reply is 'Chashm, mamnun' (I will, thanks) or 'Shomā ham hamintor' (You as well).
