To establish an objective to be achieved.
Contexto cultural
The 'Konkur' exam is the ultimate goal-setting event for Iranian teenagers. Many students spend 2-3 years 'setting goals' specifically for this one exam, which determines their entire career path. In modern Tehran startups, English terms like 'KPI' and 'OKRs' are common, but they are always discussed using the phrase 'hadaf ta'yin kardan' or 'hadaf-gozari'. In Persian mystical poetry (like Rumi or Hafez), the 'Hadaf' is often the Divine. While the modern phrase is secular, the concept of having a single-minded focus on a target is a recurring spiritual theme. Similar to Western New Year's resolutions, Iranians use the spring equinox to reset. It is culturally expected to share your 'ahdaf' (goals) with family during the holidays.
Use 'Moshakhas'
Add the word 'moshakhas' (specific) to sound more professional: 'Hadaf-e moshakhas ta'yin kardan'.
Don't use 'Sakhtan'
Never say 'Hadaf sakhtan'. It's a dead giveaway that you are translating from English.
