الشرح کره ماه in your Level:

At the A1 level, you primarily learn the word 'ماه' (Māh) to mean 'moon' or 'month'. It is one of the first 500 words most students encounter. At this stage, you don't really need 'کره ماه' because your sentences are simple, like 'The moon is big' (ماه بزرگ است). You use 'ماه' to talk about the night sky or to say what month it is. However, seeing 'کره ماه' helps you understand how Persian builds bigger words by putting two smaller ones together. It is a good introduction to the 'Ezafe' sound (the 'ye' in Kore-ye). You might see it in a picture book about space. Just remember: 'ماه' is the basic word, and 'کره' makes it more specific about the round shape of the moon.

At the A2 level, you are expected to distinguish between different types of nouns. This is where 'کره ماه' becomes useful. You are starting to talk about more than just your daily routine; you might talk about science, history, or travel. If you are describing a trip to a museum or a lesson in school, 'کره ماه' is the correct term to use. You should know that 'کره' means 'sphere' and it is the same word used in 'کره زمین' (Planet Earth). This helps you build a vocabulary 'family' of planetary terms. You should be able to use it with simple prepositions like 'در' (in) and 'روی' (on). For example: 'در کره ماه آب وجود ندارد' (There is no water on the moon).

By B1, you are moving into intermediate territory. You should use 'کره ماه' in any discussion that is even slightly formal or educational. If you are writing an essay about the environment or technology, this term provides the necessary precision. You should also be comfortable with the possessive 'Ezafe' and how it functions in this compound. At this level, you can start comparing 'کره ماه' with 'قمر' (satellite). You might say, 'کره ماه تنها قمر زمین است' (The Moon is the only satellite of Earth). You should also be able to understand news reports that use this term to discuss space missions or astronomical phenomena like eclipses.

At the B2 level, you should have a firm grasp of the 'register' of Persian. You know that 'کره ماه' is scientific and 'ماه' is general/poetic. You can use 'کره ماه' in complex sentences involving passive voice or conditional moods. For example: 'اگر انسان به کره ماه نمی‌رفت، دانش ما از فضا کمتر بود' (If humans hadn't gone to the moon, our knowledge of space would be less). You should also be able to recognize the term in academic texts, articles about astrophysics, or documentaries. Your vocabulary should also include related technical terms like 'مدار' (orbit) and 'جاذبه' (gravity) which often appear in the same context as 'کره ماه'.

At the C1 level, your use of 'کره ماه' should be perfectly natural within professional and academic contexts. You can discuss the nuances of why a writer might choose 'کره ماه' over 'ماه' to create a specific tone. You might encounter this term in high-level geopolitical discussions about 'space law' or the 'colonization of the moon' (استعمار کره ماه). You are expected to read and understand complex scientific papers or news analysis where 'کره ماه' is used to discuss lunar resources, such as Helium-3 or water ice at the poles. Your ability to switch between the technical 'کره ماه' and the literary 'ماه' shows your mastery of the language's stylistic layers.

At the C2 level, you have a near-native understanding of the term. You can appreciate the historical evolution of the word and how the addition of 'کره' reflects the modernization of the Persian language to accommodate scientific precision. You can use 'کره ماه' in highly specialized discourses, such as celestial mechanics or philosophical inquiries into humanity's place in the universe. You might even use it in a meta-linguistic way to explain Persian grammar or semantics to others. You are comfortable with all idiomatic, technical, and rare uses of the word and can produce fluent, sophisticated content about lunar exploration or astronomy using this and related terminology.

کره ماه في 30 ثانية

Kore-ye Māh specifically refers to the Moon as a celestial body.
It is a compound noun using the Persian Ezafe construction.
Used in scientific, formal, and educational contexts to avoid ambiguity.
Essential for discussing astronomy and space exploration in Persian.

The term کره ماه (pronounced 'Kore-ye Māh') is the specific Persian designation for Earth's only natural satellite, the Moon. In Persian, the word ماه (Māh) serves a dual purpose: it means both 'moon' and 'month.' Because of this potential for ambiguity, especially in scientific, astronomical, or formal contexts, speakers add the word کره (Kore), which means 'sphere' or 'globe,' to specifically refer to the physical celestial body. When you say کره ماه, you are removing any doubt that you are talking about the astronomical object orbiting our planet rather than a period of thirty days.

Scientific Context: In astronomy, this term is used to describe the geological and physical properties of the moon, such as its surface, gravity, and orbit. For example, 'The surface of the moon is covered in craters' translates to 'سطح کره ماه از گودال‌ها پوشیده شده است'.
Educational Usage: Teachers and textbooks use this compound noun to distinguish the moon from other 'spheres' or planets, such as کره زمین (Planet Earth) or کره مریخ (Planet Mars).
Formal Media: News reports regarding space exploration, lunar missions (like the Apollo missions), or astronomical events like lunar eclipses will almost exclusively use this full term to maintain a high register of language.

نخستین انسانی که بر روی کره ماه قدم گذاشت، نیل آرمسترانگ بود.

The first human who stepped on the Moon was Neil Armstrong.

Understanding the construction of this word is essential for A2 learners. It follows the Ezafe construction, where the first noun (کره) is linked to the second (ماه) with a short 'e' sound. This is a fundamental building block of Persian grammar. While in casual conversation, a Persian speaker might just say 'ماه' when looking at the night sky, they will pivot to 'کره ماه' as soon as the conversation turns to facts, travel, or science. This distinction reflects a broader pattern in Persian where compound nouns are formed to provide precision to general concepts.

دانشمندان در حال مطالعه خاک کره ماه هستند.

Scientists are studying the soil of the Moon.

نور خورشید به کره ماه می‌تابد و آن را روشن می‌کند.

Sunlight shines on the Moon and makes it bright.

آیا می‌دانستید که کره ماه جو ندارد؟

Did you know that the Moon has no atmosphere?

جاذبه در کره ماه کمتر از زمین است.

Gravity on the Moon is less than on Earth.

Using کره ماه correctly involves understanding its role as a compound noun and how it interacts with prepositions. Because it is a physical location, it often follows prepositions like در (in), روی (on), or به (to). When you are talking about the Moon as a destination, you use the 'to' preposition, as in 'سفر به کره ماه' (Travel to the Moon). This phrase is very common in historical contexts regarding the 1969 moon landing.

Subject of a Sentence: When the Moon is the one doing the action, it comes at the beginning. 'کره ماه به دور زمین می‌چرخد' (The Moon revolves around the Earth). Here, the focus is on the celestial mechanics.
Object of a Sentence: When someone is looking at or studying the Moon, it often takes the object marker 'را' if it is specific. 'او کره ماه را با تلسکوپ دید' (He saw the Moon with a telescope).

فاصله زمین تا کره ماه بسیار زیاد است.

The distance from Earth to the Moon is very large.

Another important aspect is the use of adjectives. If you want to describe the Moon, the adjective follows the entire phrase. For example, 'کره ماهِ زیبا' (The beautiful moon). However, note that adding 'زیبا' (beautiful) often shifts the tone back to a more poetic one, where just 'ماه' might be more natural. 'کره ماه' remains stubbornly scientific. You will see it used with adjectives like 'تاریک' (dark), 'سنگی' (rocky), or 'بی‌جان' (lifeless) in specialized texts.

عکس‌های گرفته شده از کره ماه بسیار دقیق هستند.

The photos taken of the Moon are very precise.

آیا انسان دوباره به کره ماه باز خواهد گشت؟

Will humans return to the Moon again?

تغییرات ظاهری کره ماه را فازهای ماه می‌نامند.

The changes in the appearance of the Moon are called lunar phases.

You will encounter کره ماه in various specific environments. Primarily, it is the language of the classroom and the newsroom. If you are watching a Persian-language documentary about the solar system on channels like BBC Persian or Iran International, the narrator will consistently use 'کره ماه' to describe the satellite. It provides a level of descriptive clarity that 'ماه' alone lacks in a documentary setting.

News & Media: Whenever there is a 'Supermoon' or a 'Blood Moon', news anchors will say: 'امشب کره ماه در نزدیک‌ترین فاصله به زمین قرار دارد' (Tonight the Moon is at its closest distance to Earth).
Academic Lectures: In university geography or physics departments in Iran, professors use this term to discuss tidal forces (جزر و مد) caused by the Moon's gravity.

اخبار اعلام کرد که فردا شب خسوف یا ماه‌گرفتگی در کره ماه رخ می‌دهد.

The news announced that a lunar eclipse will occur on the Moon tomorrow night.

In contrast, you are unlikely to hear this word in a romantic song or a classic poem by Hafez or Rumi. In those contexts, the Moon is a beloved, a face, or a source of light, and calling it a 'sphere' would be far too clinical. However, in modern science fiction stories written in Persian or in translations of Western sci-fi, 'کره ماه' is the standard term. If you are reading a Persian translation of Jules Verne's 'From the Earth to the Moon', you will see 'از زمین به کره ماه' on the cover.

در کتاب علوم دبستان، درباره جو کره ماه توضیح داده شده است.

In the elementary science book, the Moon's atmosphere is explained.

One of the most frequent mistakes for English speakers learning Persian is overusing کره ماه in casual conversation. While it is technically correct, it can sound 'robotic' or overly formal if you are just pointing at the sky. If you are walking with a friend and want to say 'Look at the moon!', you should just say 'به ماه نگاه کن!' (Be māh negāh kon!). Using the full 'کره ماه' in that moment would be like saying 'Look at the lunar sphere!' in English.

The Ezafe Omission: Forgetting the linking 'e' sound between 'Kore' and 'Māh'. Without the Ezafe, it sounds like two separate, unrelated words: 'Sphere. Moon.' Always ensure the connection is audible: Kore-ye Māh.
Confusion with Months: Never use 'کره ماه' when you mean a month of the year. For example, 'Next month' is 'ماه بعد' (Māh-e ba'd), not 'کره ماه بعد'. The latter would imply a second moon is arriving next month!

اشتباه: من در کره ماه ژانویه به ایران می‌روم.

Mistake: I am going to Iran in the 'Moon-Sphere' of January. (Correct: ماهِ ژانویه)

Another mistake involves the pluralization. While 'ماه' can be pluralized to 'ماه‌ها' (months), 'کره ماه' is a unique entity (Earth only has one moon). If you are talking about the moons of Jupiter, you would say 'قمرهای مشتری' (the satellites of Jupiter) or 'ماه‌های مشتری', but rarely 'کره‌های ماهِ مشتری'. Use 'قمر' (qamar) for moons of other planets to avoid confusion.

Persian has several words related to the Moon, each with its own nuance and register. Understanding these will help you choose the right word for the right situation.

ماه (Māh): The most common word. Used for the moon in the sky, for months, and as a compliment for a beautiful person ('You are like the moon').
قمر (Qamar): An Arabic loanword used in Persian primarily in scientific contexts to mean 'satellite.' It can refer to Earth's moon or any moon orbiting any planet. It is also used in the phrase 'قمر مصنوعی' (artificial satellite).
مهتاب (Mahtāb): This specifically means 'moonlight.' You wouldn't say you are traveling to 'Mahtāb'; you would say you are walking under 'Mahtāb'.

زمین تنها یک قمر طبیعی دارد که همان کره ماه است.

Earth has only one natural satellite, which is the Moon.

There are also specific terms for the phases of the moon. 'هلال' (Helāl) refers to the crescent moon, often associated with the start of Islamic months. 'بدر' (Badr) or 'ماه کامل' (Māh-e Kāmel) refers to the full moon. While 'کره ماه' describes the object, these words describe its appearance from Earth. Using 'کره ماه' in a poetic sentence about a crescent would feel very out of place.

How Formal Is It?

أخطاء شائعة

Saying 'ماه کره' → کره ماه
In Persian, the general category (sphere) comes before the specific name (moon) in this compound.
Using 'کره ماه' for 'next month' → ماه بعد
'کره ماه' refers only to the physical object, never to the unit of time.
Pronouncing it 'Kore Māh' (no Ezafe) → Kore-ye Māh
The Ezafe 'e' (and the 'ye' glide) is grammatically required to link the two nouns.
Writing 'کره ماه' when referring to butter → کره
While 'Kore' means butter, 'Kore-ye Māh' would mean 'Moon Butter'. Just 'Kore' is enough for your toast!
Calling the moon a 'سیاره' (planet) → قمر (satellite)
This is a factual/scientific mistake rather than a linguistic one, but it's common.

نصائح

Master the Ezafe

The 'ye' sound in 'Kore-ye Māh' is essential. Practice saying it as one fluid phrase rather than two separate words.

Scientific Precision

Use 'کره ماه' when writing for school or talking about NASA. Use 'ماه' when talking to your friends about how pretty the night is.

Beauty Symbolism

Remember that while 'کره ماه' is a rock, 'ماه' is the ultimate symbol of beauty in Persian culture. Don't mix them up in compliments!

Silent He

The 'h' at the end of 'Kore' is silent. It's just a placeholder for the vowel 'e'. Don't try to pronounce it as a hard 'H'.

News Clues

If you hear 'Kore-ye...' on the news, get ready for a scientific or geographical topic. It's a great 'anchor' word.

Avoid Robotic Speech

Don't say 'کره ماه' in every sentence. Once the context is established, you can just say 'ماه' to sound more natural.

The 'Kore' Family

Learn 'کره زمین' (Earth) and 'کره ماه' (Moon) together. They are the most common 'Kore' pairs.

Not for Months

Never use 'کره ماه' for time. 'Month' is always just 'ماه'.

Long A

Make sure the 'ā' in 'Māh' is long and deep, like the 'a' in 'hall' or 'ball'.

Space Travel

Whenever you see a rocket or an astronaut in a Persian textbook, expect to see the word 'کره ماه'.

احفظها

وسيلة تذكّر

Think of 'Kore' as 'Core' (the center of a sphere) and 'Māh' as 'Ma' (the moon). The 'Core' of 'Ma' is the Moon Sphere.

ربط بصري

Imagine a perfect glass sphere (Kore) with a glowing moon (Māh) inside it.

Word Web

آسمان ستاره شب تاریک نور زمین فضاپیما آپولو

تحدٍّ

Try to say 'کره ماه' five times fast without forgetting the 'ye' sound in the middle.

أصل الكلمة

The word 'Kore' comes from the Arabic 'Kurah' (sphere). 'Māh' comes from Middle Persian 'māh', which traces back to Old Persian 'māha' and Proto-Indo-European 'mḗh₁n̥s' (moon/month).

المعنى الأصلي: The combination literally means 'The Sphere of the Moon'.

Indo-European (Persian) with an Arabic loanword (Kore).

السياق الثقافي

No specific sensitivities; it is a neutral scientific term.

English speakers use 'The Moon'. Persian uses 'Kore-ye Māh' for the same level of specificity.

The landing of Apollo 11 on the Moon (فرود آپولو ۱۱ بر کره ماه). Persian translations of 'Tintin: Explorers on the Moon'. Iranian science documentaries like 'Aseman-e Shab' (Night Sky).

الأسئلة الشائعة

10 أسئلة

It is a compound noun made of two words linked by an Ezafe. It functions as a single semantic unit meaning 'The Moon'.

You can! But 'ماه' also means 'month'. Scientists and teachers use 'کره ماه' to be 100% clear they are talking about the object in space.

Yes, in a geometric or astronomical context. However, it also means butter, Korea, or a foal (baby horse). You have to look at the words around it.

You say 'فرود بر کره ماه' (Forud bar Kore-ye Māh).

No, it is called a 'قمر' (qamar - satellite). Calling it a 'سیاره' (sayyāre) is a scientific error.

In modern Persian, we often don't write it. Sometimes a small 'ye' (کرهٔ) is placed on the 'he'. Either way, you must pronounce the 'ye' sound.

It would sound very strange. Poets almost always use 'ماه' or 'مه' or 'مهتاب'. 'کره ماه' is too 'science-y' for poetry.

Since we only have one moon, it's rarely pluralized. If talking about moons of other planets, we use 'قمرها' or 'ماه‌ها'.

Persian has no grammatical gender. So it is neutral, like all other nouns.

Not really, but the phrase 'از کره ماه آمدن' (to come from the moon) is used for someone who is totally unaware of what's happening.
