Indicates something will happen very soon.
文化背景
In Tehran, 'chand daqiqe diger' is often a survival phrase for traffic. If someone says this, they might still be 20 minutes away due to unpredictable road conditions. In Dari, the phrase is very similar, but 'digar' is pronounced more clearly and 'dige' is less common than in Iran. Tajik speakers use 'chand daqiqa-i digar'. The script is Cyrillic: чанд дақиқаи дигар. In formal business, punctuality is increasingly valued. Using 'ta' (until) before the phrase adds a sense of commitment.
The 'Dige' Rule
Always use 'dige' in conversation to sound like a native. 'Digar' sounds like a textbook.
Don't use 'In'
Avoid saying 'Dar chand daqiqe'. It's a common English-speaker mistake.

The 15-Minute Buffer
In Iran, 'a few minutes' can often mean 15. Don't get angry; it's just social cushioning!
