دست نگه داشتن

dast negah dashtan

To hold back/stop

意思

To pause or refrain from an action; to stop doing something.

🌍

文化背景

In Iranian business, decisions are rarely made instantly. Using 'dast negah dâshtan' is a polite way to signal that more consultation is needed without saying a flat 'no'. When someone offers you something, you might 'dast negah dâshtan' (refrain) as part of Ta'arof (ritual politeness) before eventually accepting. In the Bazaar, sellers might tell you to 'dast negah dâr' if they think they can find a better quality item for you in the back of the shop.

🎯

Use it for Ta'arof

When someone offers you more food, say 'Dast negah dârid' to politely signal you've had enough for a moment.

⚠️

Don't add 'râ'

In the idiomatic sense, 'dast' does not usually take the object marker 'râ' unless you are literally holding a specific hand.
