Significado
To abandon or relinquish an idea, plan, or possession, often with a sense of finality.
Contexto cultural
In Iranian culture, 'Gheyd zadan' is often a response to 'Ghesmat' (fate). If things aren't working out despite effort, one might 'strike the bond' as a way of accepting that it wasn't meant to be. In the fast-paced life of Tehran, this phrase is used constantly regarding traffic and time management. It reflects a pragmatic approach to the city's chaos. Parents might use this phrase to encourage children to stop pursuing unrealistic or dangerous goals, often using a protective tone. In the traditional Bazaar, 'Gheyd-e sood ra zadan' (giving up on profit) is a common tactic to close a deal or maintain a relationship with a long-term customer.
Use the Suffix

Too Harsh?
Be careful using this about people. Saying 'Gheyde tora zadam' to someone's face is a very aggressive way to end a relationship.
