意思
To assure that an activity or process will be quick.
文化背景
In Iranian culture, 'Ziyād vaqt nemibare' is a key phrase in Ta'arof. It is used to make guests feel that their presence is not a burden, or to encourage someone to stay for a meal. In the capital, the 'd' at the end of 'nemibarad' is almost always dropped, becoming 'nemibare'. Using the full 'd' sounds very formal or like you are reading from a book. When starting a meeting or a presentation in Iran, it is polite to say 'I won't take much of your time' (Ziyād vaqt-etun ro nemigiram) as a sign of respect for the audience's schedule. If you are a guest and you say you must leave, the host will use this phrase to try and keep you longer, often implying that the next activity (like having fruit) is very quick.
Sound like a Native
Use 'nemibare' instead of 'nemibarad' in 99% of spoken situations.
Don't over-Ta'arof
If something will take 2 hours, don't say it won't take long, or you'll frustrate people!
