'Chamedān-am rā bastam' means 'I packed my luggage' — literally 'I closed/tied my suitcase', using bastan (to close/tie/pack) as the verb, with the familiar possessive -am and object marker rā.
Where English speakers slip
English speakers sometimes stress the first syllable by analogy with how English 'suitcase'-type words often front-load stress; chamedān needs the stress pushed all the way to the final syllable, dān.
