意思
Asking someone to repeat what they just said in a polite manner.
文化背景
In Iran, 'Befarmāyid' is the most versatile word. It can mean 'Please come in', 'Please eat', 'Please sit', or 'Please say'. Context is everything. In Dari, you might hear 'Dobāra lutf konid' (Please favor us again) or 'Chi farmudid' more often, but 'Befarmāyid' is still widely understood and respected. Tajik speakers might use 'Bakhshed, yak bori digar gued' (Excuse me, say it one more time). It's slightly more direct than the Iranian Ta'arof style.
The 'Jan' trick
If 'befarmāyid' feels too long, just say 'Jan?' with a rising intonation. It's the most natural 'Pardon?' in Iran.
Don't over-Ta'arof
Don't say 'dobāre befarmāyid' five times in a row. If you still don't understand, try 'Miazrat mikham, fārsi-ye man khub nist' (I'm sorry, my Persian isn't good).

A slight tilt of the head and a polite smile makes this phrase 100% more effective.
