意思
To decline, refuse, or dismiss something.
文化背景
In Iran, 'rad kardan' is an art. You must decline an offer (like tea or a gift) several times to show you aren't greedy. This is called 'Ta'arof'. In Dari, 'rad kardan' is also used for rejection, but 'tard kardan' (to banish/expel) is sometimes used for more severe social rejections. The fear of 'rad shodan' (failing) is huge in Iran due to the competitive nature of the 'Konkur' (university entrance exam). On Persian Twitter, 'rad kardan' is used for 'debunking' news or 'rejecting' viral trends.
The 'Ra' Rule
Always remember to use 'ra' after the thing you are rejecting. It's a transitive verb!
Don't be too blunt
In social settings, saying 'Man in ra rad mikonam' is too strong. Use 'Mamnoon' first.

Exam Context
If you want to sound like a native, use 'Mardood shodam' for failing an exam in very formal contexts.
Ta'arof Rejection
When someone offers you food, decline twice before saying yes. That's the 'polite' way to eventually NOT reject it.
