Significado
Used to inquire about the duration required for a task, journey, or process.
Contexto cultural
Time is often perceived as flexible. An answer like '5 minutes' might actually mean 'I'm starting now'. This is part of social etiquette to avoid sounding harsh. In the capital, traffic is the primary factor for 'vaqt bordan'. People always calculate duration based on traffic hours, not just distance. In Dari, 'چقدر وقت میگیره؟' (Cheqadr vaqt migira?) is more common than 'mibarad', though both are understood. Tajik speakers might use 'چقدر وقت میکشد؟' (Cheqadr vaqt mikashad?) or 'چقدر زمان میگیرد؟'.
Use 'Mibare'
If you want to sound like a local, always use the 'e' ending instead of 'ad' in spoken Persian.
Don't say 'How many time'
Persian uses 'Cheqadr' (How much), not 'Chand' (How many) for time duration.
