الشرح لکه انداختن in your Level:

At the A1 level, you only need to know that 'لکه' (lakeh) means a spot or a stain. You might use it with simple verbs like 'has' (dārad). For example: 'This shirt has a stain' (این پیراهن لکه دارد). You don't need to worry about the complex compound verb 'لکه انداختن' yet. Focus on identifying common things that cause stains, like 'juice' (آبمیوه) or 'food' (غذا). At this stage, you are just learning the noun. Understanding that a stain is something unwanted on your clothes is the first step. You might hear a teacher say 'Don't stain the paper' in a very simple way, but usually, A1 learners just need the noun to point out a problem.

لکه انداختن في 30 ثانية

A compound verb meaning 'to stain' or 'to cause a spot'.
Used for physical objects (clothes, rugs) and abstract concepts (reputation).
Combines the noun 'lakeh' (stain) with 'andākhtan' (to throw/put).
Requires the preposition 'rooye' (on) to indicate the stained surface.

The Persian compound verb لکه انداختن (Lakeh andākhtan) is an essential phrase for anyone navigating daily life in an Iranian household or social setting. At its most literal level, it means 'to stain' or 'to cause a spot to appear' on a surface, most commonly fabric, clothing, or carpets. The word is composed of two parts: لکه (lakeh), meaning 'stain' or 'spot', and the auxiliary verb انداختن (andākhtan), which literally means 'to throw' or 'to drop'. In the Persian linguistic worldview, a stain isn't just 'made'; it is 'dropped' or 'cast' onto the material, suggesting a sudden, often accidental occurrence.

Literal Usage: This verb is used when liquid, oil, or dirt contacts a clean surface. For example, if you drop pomegranate juice on a white sofa, you have 'thrown a stain' on it.
Metaphorical Usage: Beyond physical objects, it can refer to tarnishing one's reputation or 'staining' a record, though 'لکه دار کردن' is more common for abstract concepts.

مواظب باش! قهوه روی فرش لکه می‌اندازد.

Translation: Be careful! Coffee will stain the carpet.

In Iranian culture, cleanliness (pākizeghi) is highly valued, and a visible stain on a guest's clothing or a host's tablecloth can be a source of minor social embarrassment. Therefore, you will often hear this verb used in warnings or in the context of laundry and cleaning. It is a B1 level word because while the components are simple, the compound usage is specific to everyday chores and social interactions. Understanding how to use this verb allows you to describe accidents in the kitchen, discuss dry cleaning needs, or even talk about the quality of certain fabrics that 'stain easily'.

این نوع پارچه خیلی زود لکه می‌اندازد.

Translation: This type of fabric stains very easily.

You will encounter this verb in various tenses. In the past tense, 'لکه انداخت' (it stained), it describes a completed action. In the present continuous, 'دارد لکه می‌اندازد' (it is staining), it might describe a slow leak or a spreading mark. It is also used in the imperative 'لکه نینداز' (don't stain) as a warning to children or clumsy diners. The cultural weight of the word is significant; in a society where hospitality involves pristine white 'sofrehs' (tablecloths), the act of 'لکه انداختن' is the quintessential domestic mishap. Linguistically, it belongs to a family of verbs using 'انداختن' to describe creating an effect, similar to 'راه انداختن' (to start something) or 'طرح انداختن' (to cast a design).

Domain: Laundry: Essential for explaining to a 'khoshkshoo' (dry cleaner) how a garment was ruined.
Domain: Cooking: Used when discussing ingredients like turmeric or saffron that leave permanent marks.

Using لکه انداختن correctly requires an understanding of Persian compound verb conjugation. The word 'لکه' remains stationary, while 'انداختن' changes according to tense, person, and number. Because staining is usually something an object (like wine) does to another object (like a shirt), the subject of the sentence is often the substance causing the stain. However, it can also be used transitively where a person is the subject who causes the stain through an action.

Subject: The Substance: 'روغن روی پیرهنم لکه انداخت' (The oil stained my shirt). Here, 'roghan' (oil) is the subject.
Subject: The Person: 'بچه روی مبل لکه انداخت' (The child stained the sofa). Here, the child is the agent of the action.

دیروز وقتی داشتم انار می‌خوردم، روی لباسم لکه انداختم.

Translation: Yesterday while I was eating pomegranate, I stained my clothes.

In negative sentences, the 'ن' (na) prefix is attached to the auxiliary verb: 'لکه نینداخت' (it didn't stain). For the future tense, use 'لکه خواهد انداخت', though in spoken Persian, the present simple 'لکه می‌اندازد' is more common for future intent. When talking about the potential for staining, the word 'ممکن است' (it is possible) is often paired with the subjunctive form: 'ممکن است لکه بیندازد' (it might stain). This is particularly useful when giving advice about expensive Persian rugs or delicate silk scarves.

آیا این تمیزکننده روی پارچه لکه می‌اندازد؟

Translation: Does this cleaner stain the fabric?

Grammatically, 'لکه انداختن' is often followed by a description of the stain's color or type to be more specific. For example, 'لکه سیاه انداختن' (to leave a black mark). In more formal Persian, you might encounter 'لکه ایجاد کردن' (to create a stain), but 'لکه انداختن' remains the standard for everyday communication. It's also important to note the difference between 'لکه انداختن' (the act of staining) and 'لکه شدن' (to become stained). Use 'لکه شدن' when you want to focus on the result rather than the cause: 'پیراهنم لکه شد' (My shirt got stained).

Compound Structure: Noun (لکه) + Preposition (روی) + Object + Verb (انداختن).

You will hear لکه انداختن in several distinct environments in Iran. The most common is the domestic sphere. Parents constantly warn children 'روی لباست لکه نینداز' (Don't stain your clothes) during meals, especially when serving 'Khoresh' (stews) which often contain turmeric or tomato paste—notorious stain-causers. It is also a staple word in the 'Khoshkshooi' (dry cleaners). When you take a garment to be cleaned, the clerk will ask 'کجا لکه انداخته؟' (Where has it stained / Where is the stain?).

این واکس روی کفش‌های سفید لکه می‌اندازد.

Translation: This wax stains white shoes.

In the marketplace, specifically in the famous carpet bazaars of Tehran or Isfahan, sellers use this verb to guarantee the quality of their dyes. They might say 'این رنگ‌ها گیاهی هستند و لکه نمی‌اندازند' (These dyes are vegetable-based and do not [bleed/stain] other parts). Conversely, if a carpet is damaged by water or chemicals, the term describes the resulting blemish. You'll also find it in advertisements for detergents and cleaning products on Iranian television, where the 'power to remove stains' (قدرت لکه‌بری) is contrasted with the 'ease of staining' (زود لکه انداختن) of cheap fabrics.

Context: Restaurants: Waiters might apologize if a drop of sauce falls: 'ببخشید، روی میز لکه انداختم' (Sorry, I stained the table).
Context: Beauty Salons: Hairdressers warn customers that hair dye 'روی پوست لکه می‌اندازد' (stains the skin).

In social gatherings, if someone accidentally spills a drink, the immediate reaction is usually a flurry of 'Lakeh' related vocabulary. 'ای وای، لکه انداخت!' (Oh no, it stained!). This immediate recognition of the 'Lakeh' reflects the high value placed on maintaining one's possessions and the aesthetic of the home. Interestingly, in journalism, you might hear it in a more figurative sense regarding the 'staining' of a political process or a historical record, though this is less common than its literal domestic use.

For English speakers, the most common mistake is choosing the wrong auxiliary verb. In English, we 'make' a stain, but in Persian, you should never say 'لکه کردن' (Lakeh kardan). While 'kardan' (to do/make) is the most common auxiliary verb in Persian, it is incorrect here. Using 'kardan' will sound unnatural and might confuse the listener about whether you are trying to clean or create a stain.

Mistake: Wrong Auxiliary: Saying 'لکه کردم' instead of 'لکه انداختم'.
Mistake: Confusing Active and Passive: Using 'لکه انداختن' when the stain happened on its own without a clear agent. In those cases, 'لکه شدن' is better.

اشتباه: لباسم لکه انداخت. (Wrong if you mean 'My clothes got stained')
درست: لباسم لکه شد.

Another frequent error is the misplacement of the preposition. English speakers often forget the 'روی' (on) and try to use the stain as a direct object without a preposition. In Persian, you stain *on* something. Also, be careful with the word 'لکه دار کردن' (Lakeh-dar kardan). While it also means to stain, it is almost exclusively used for 'staining' someone's reputation or honor. Using 'لکه دار کردن' for a coffee spill on a rug sounds overly dramatic, like you are accusing the coffee of insulting the rug's dignity.

Lastly, learners often struggle with the spelling of 'انداختن'. The 'alif' at the beginning of 'andākhtan' is often dropped in speech but must be present in writing. In the present tense, 'می‌اندازد', the 'alif' transforms into a 'y' sound in pronunciation, which can lead to spelling errors like 'می‌ندازد'. Always remember the formal root remains 'andāz'. Avoid using 'کثیف کردن' (to make dirty) when you specifically mean a localized stain. 'Khasif kardan' is more general; 'Lakeh andākhtan' is precise for spots.

While لکه انداختن is the most common way to describe staining, several other verbs and phrases offer nuanced alternatives depending on the context and the level of formality. Understanding these helps you choose the right word for the right situation, whether you're at a formal dinner or washing clothes at home.

کثیف کردن (Kasif Kardan): Meaning 'to make dirty'. This is a broader term. If you fall in the mud, you 'kasif' your clothes. If a drop of mud hits your shirt, you 'lakeh' it.
لکه دار کردن (Lakeh-dar Kardan): Literally 'to make stain-possessing'. Used for abstract concepts like reputation (آبرو) or history. It implies a lasting damage to character.
آلوده کردن (Āloodeh Kardan): Meaning 'to contaminate' or 'to pollute'. Used in medical or environmental contexts, like 'contaminating a wound' or 'polluting a river'.

او با این کار آبروی خانواده را لکه دار کرد.

Translation: He tarnished (stained) the family's reputation with this action.

Another alternative is رنگ پس دادن (Rang pas dādan), which specifically means 'to bleed color'. You use this when a red shirt in the wash stains a white one. In this case, 'lakeh andākhtan' is the result, but 'rang pas dādan' is the process. If you want to describe a surface that is prone to showing marks (like fingerprints on glass), you might use لک پذیر (lak-pazir), an adjective meaning 'stain-accepting'.

In literary Persian, you might encounter ملوث کردن (molavvas kardan), an Arabic-rooted formal word for 'to soil' or 'to defile'. However, for 99% of daily interactions involving food, dirt, or ink, 'لکه انداختن' is your best choice. It strikes the perfect balance between being descriptive and common. When searching for cleaning products, look for 'لکه بر' (lakeh-bar), which means 'stain remover' (literally 'stain-taker'). Understanding these variations allows for more precise communication and helps avoid using a word that is too formal or too informal for the context.

أصل الكلمة

The word 'لکه' (Lakeh) is of Persian origin, historically referring to a small piece or a spot. 'انداختن' (Andākhtan) comes from Middle Persian 'andāxtan', meaning to throw, plan, or cast.

المعنى الأصلي: To cast a spot upon something.

Indo-European (Indo-Iranian).

In English, we 'get a stain', but in Persian, the substance 'throws' the stain. This reflects a different perspective on agency.
