意思
To arrive or do something past the scheduled time.
文化背景
In cities like Tehran, traffic is the universal 'get out of jail free' card for lateness. Even if you woke up late, blaming 'terafik' is culturally accepted, provided you use a formal apology like 'takhir کردم'. Being on time is a sign of 'shakhsiat' (character). While social life is flexible, business meetings are expected to start within 5-10 minutes of the scheduled time. The 'Mehmāni' (party) culture often involves a 'soft start'. Arriving exactly on time can be seen as a lack of social savvy. However, you would never use the word 'takhir' to describe this; it's just 'dir raftan'. In traditional schools (Madrasas), punctuality is tied to the concept of 'Nazam' (order). Teachers may use 'takhir' to reprimand students formally.
The Apology Rule
Always pair 'takhir kardam' with 'bebakhshid' (excuse me) or 'ozr mikham' (I apologize) to sound like a native professional.
Avoid 'Takhir Hastam'
This is the most common mistake for English speakers. Remember: you DO a delay, you aren't a delay.

Traffic as an Excuse
If you are late in Tehran, mentioning 'Terafik' is almost mandatory, even if it's not the real reason.
Transport vs. People
Use 'dashtan' for the bus/plane and 'kardan' for yourself.
