Significado
To assume one's allotted time or chance in a sequence.
Contexto cultural
In Iranian bakeries, there is often a 'single bread' (tak-dooneh) line which is faster. You still need to 'nobat begiri' but in a different, informal sequence. The term 'nobat' is equally common in Dari, though the pronunciation of 'gereftan' might slightly vary in local dialects. In Tajik (Cyrillic: навбат), the word is used similarly, though Russian loanwords for 'appointment' sometimes compete in urban areas. Persian speakers abroad often use 'nobat gereftan' even when speaking English ('I took a nobat for the dentist'), showing how deeply the concept is embedded.
Use 'Az'
Always use the preposition 'az' (from) when saying who you got the appointment from.
The 'Last Person' Rule
In a physical line, always ask 'Nafar-e akhar kiye?' (Who is the last person?) to establish your nobat.
