الشرح منقرض in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't need to use the word 'mongharez' frequently, but you should recognize it when talking about animals like dinosaurs. Think of it as a special word for 'no more' or 'gone forever' for groups of animals. If you see a picture of a dinosaur in a Persian book, the text will likely use this word. You can remember it by associating it with the English word 'extinct'. Just remember: one cat can be 'dead', but all dinosaurs are 'mongharez'. It is a big word for a big concept: when a whole family of animals disappears from the world. At this stage, just focus on the sentence: 'Dinosaurs are mongharez.'

At the A2 level, you can start using 'mongharez' in basic sentences about nature and history. You should know that it usually goes with the verb 'shodan' (to become). You might use it to talk about famous animals from the past. You can also start to understand the difference between 'mordeh' (dead) for one person/animal and 'mongharez' (extinct) for a whole kind of animal. In your studies, you might see this word in simple stories about the environment. For example: 'Many animals are becoming mongharez because they have no home.' It helps you talk about the world in a slightly more serious way than just using 'not here'.

At the B1 level, you should be able to use 'mongharez' and its noun form 'engherāz' (extinction) accurately. You are expected to discuss environmental issues, such as endangered species (گونه‌های در خطر انقراض). You should also be able to use the word in a historical context to describe the end of a dynasty or an empire. For instance, when discussing Iranian history, you can say 'The Qajar dynasty became mongharez in 1925.' You should understand that this word is formal and appropriate for school essays, news articles, and documentaries. You are moving beyond simple descriptions to explaining permanent changes in the world and history.

At the B2 level, you should use 'mongharez' with nuance, understanding its scientific and formal implications. You should be comfortable using it in passive and active constructions, such as 'Human activities are making species mongharez.' You can also use it to describe the extinction of languages or cultures. At this level, you should be able to participate in debates about conservation and use 'mongharez' to emphasize the finality of biological loss. You should also recognize the word in complex historical texts where it describes the 'extinction' of political rights or lineages. Your vocabulary should now distinguish clearly between 'mongharez' (extinct), 'mansukh' (obsolete), and 'nābud' (destroyed).

At the C1 level, 'mongharez' becomes a tool for sophisticated analysis. You can use it metaphorically in literature or high-level journalism to describe the 'extinction' of ideas, eras, or social classes. You should understand the etymology (from Arabic) and how it fits into the broader Persian vocabulary of loss and termination. You can use it in academic papers about biology, sociology, or history. For example, you might analyze why certain dialects become 'mongharez' in the face of globalization. Your usage should be flawless, correctly identifying when to use the adjective 'mongharez' versus the noun 'engherāz' in complex, multi-clause sentences.

At the C2 level, you have a complete mastery of 'mongharez'. You can appreciate its use in classical and modern literature, and you can use it to discuss philosophical concepts like the 'extinction' of the self or the permanent loss of historical memory. You understand the subtle differences in register between 'mongharez shod' and more poetic alternatives like 'az miyān raft'. You can use the word in professional fields like law (extinction of obligations) or advanced evolutionary biology. You are also able to catch wordplay or irony involving the word in political satire, where a politician might be compared to a 'mongharez' species. Your command of the word reflects a deep understanding of Persian's formal and scientific layers.

منقرض في 30 ثانية

Mongharez means extinct or vanished forever.
It is used for animals, languages, and royal dynasties.
It usually pairs with the verb 'shodan' (to become).
It is a formal word used in science and history.

The Persian word منقرض (pronounced 'mongharez') is a powerful adjective used to describe something that has completely ceased to exist, typically in a biological, historical, or linguistic sense. In its most common application, it refers to biological extinction. When a species of animal or plant no longer has any living members on Earth, we say that species is mongharez. For example, the Caspian Tiger, once a majestic inhabitant of northern Iran, is now considered mongharez. Beyond biology, the word is frequently used in historical contexts to describe the end of a ruling dynasty. When the Safavid or Sassanid empires fell and their lineage of power ended, those dynasties became mongharez. It conveys a sense of finality and permanent loss that other words like 'finished' or 'ended' do not fully capture.

Biological Context: Used for species like dinosaurs (دایناسورها) or the Dodo bird that have no living individuals left.

بسیاری از حیوانات به دلیل شکار بی‌رویه منقرض شده‌اند. (Many animals have become extinct due to excessive hunting.)

In a more metaphorical or cultural sense, منقرض can describe languages that are no longer spoken by any living person (زبان‌های منقرض شده) or traditions that have completely vanished from modern society. It is a formal word, originating from Arabic, and carries a weight of academic or scientific authority. You will encounter it in textbooks, documentaries, and news reports regarding the environment or archaeology. It is rarely used for temporary absences; if you can't find your keys, you wouldn't say they are mongharez, as that would imply every key of that kind has vanished from the universe forever. It is the word of 'never again.'

Historical Context: Used to describe the total collapse and disappearance of a royal family's rule, such as the Qajar dynasty.

سلسله‌ی ساسانیان پس از حمله اعراب منقرض گشت. (The Sassanid dynasty became extinct/vanished after the Arab invasion.)

Understanding the gravity of منقرض helps Persian learners appreciate the environmental and historical concerns within Iranian culture. For instance, the Asiatic Cheetah is currently 'at risk of extinction' (در خطر انقراض), a phrase that appears daily in Iranian environmental activism. By using this word, you are engaging with serious topics of preservation and legacy. It is not just about death; it is about the end of a category of life or power.

Grammatically, منقرض functions as a predicative adjective, usually following the subject it describes and preceding a form of the verb shodan (to become). Because extinction is a state that is reached, the past tense shod (became) or the present perfect shodeh ast (has become) are the most frequent pairings. For example, 'The mammoth became extinct' translates to 'ماموت منقرض شد'. If you want to talk about the threat of extinction, you use the noun form engherāz (انقراض) in phrases like 'dar khate-re engherāz' (in danger of extinction).

Common Verb Pairings: منقرض شدن (to become extinct), منقرض کردن (to make extinct/wipe out), در حال منقرض شدن (in the process of becoming extinct).

دانشمندان نگران هستند که این گیاه به زودی منقرض شود. (Scientists are worried that this plant might soon become extinct.)

When discussing dynasties, the word acts as a marker of historical transition. It is formal and precise. You wouldn't use it for a business going bankrupt unless you were being very dramatic or comparing the business to a fallen empire. In complex sentences, منقرض can be modified by adverbs like 'kam-kam' (gradually) or 'be koli' (completely). For instance, 'The local dialect is gradually becoming extinct' (گویش محلی کم‌کم در حال منقرض شدن است). Note that the word is always singular in form even if the subject is plural, as it describes the state of the group.

فعالیت‌های انسانی باعث منقرض شدن گونه‌های کمیاب می‌شود. (Human activities cause the extinction of rare species.)

In academic writing, you might see it used to describe the 'extinction of a right' in legal terms, though this is specialized. For a general learner, focus on its use with 'animals' (heyvānāt), 'languages' (zabān-hā), and 'dynasties' (selseleh-hā). It is a 'high-level' word that makes your Persian sound sophisticated and educated. Using 'tamoom shod' (it finished) for a species sounds childish; 'mongharez shod' sounds like a documentary narrator.

You will most frequently encounter منقرض in educational media and environmental discourse. If you watch the Persian service of National Geographic or documentaries on the IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting), you will hear this word whenever the narrator discusses the history of the earth or the plight of endangered animals like the Persian Leopard. It is a staple of the 'Environmental' (Mohit-e Zist) section of Iranian newspapers like 'Etemad' or 'Hamshahri'.

In Museums: Placards in the Museum of Natural History in Tehran use 'mongharez' to label fossils and specimens of animals that no longer exist.

در اخبار شنیدم که ببر مازندران سال‌ها پیش منقرض شده است. (I heard in the news that the Mazandaran tiger became extinct years ago.)

History classrooms are another primary location for this word. When Iranian students learn about the transition from the Qajar era to the Pahlavi era, the teacher explains how the Qajar dynasty was 'mongharez' (dissolved/ended). In this context, it isn't about death in a biological sense, but the legal and political 'extinction' of a family's right to rule. Furthermore, in literature, poets might use it metaphorically to describe a lost era of chivalry or a 'vanished' way of life, though this is more stylistic. If you are discussing climate change with an Iranian friend, using 'engherāz' (the noun) and 'mongharez' (the adjective) will allow you to participate in a serious, adult conversation about the future of the planet.

اگر مراقب نباشیم، یوزپلنگ ایرانی منقرض خواهد شد. (If we are not careful, the Iranian cheetah will become extinct.)

Finally, you might hear it in intellectual podcasts discussing 'extinct languages' (zabān-hā-ye mongharez shodeh) like Avestan or Old Persian. It implies that while the language is studied, it has no native speakers left. In all these cases, the word signals that the topic is one of significance, history, and irreversible change.

One of the most frequent errors English speakers make when using منقرض is confusing it with the simple word for 'dead' (mordeh). While both imply a lack of life, 'mordeh' is used for individuals, whereas mongharez is used for entire groups or lineages. You can say 'The cat is dead' (Gorbe mordeh ast), but you cannot say 'The cat is extinct' (Gorbe mongharez ast) unless you mean the entire species of cats has vanished from the earth. Using mongharez for a person who has passed away is a significant category error and would sound very strange or even unintentionally funny to a native speaker.

Mongharez vs. Nabood: Nabood (destroyed/non-existent) is more general. Mongharez is specifically for the end of a biological or dynastic line.

اشتباه: پدربزرگم منقرض شد. (Wrong: My grandfather became extinct.)

Another common mistake is misusing the noun and adjective forms. Learners often say 'species is extinction' instead of 'species is extinct.' Remember that منقرض is the adjective (extinct) and انقراض is the noun (extinction). So, you should say 'khatar-e engherāz' (danger of extinction) but 'heyvān-e mongharez shodeh' (extinct animal). Additionally, some learners confuse it with 'monfajer' (exploded) because they sound slightly similar to a beginner's ear, but their meanings are worlds apart!

درست: دایناسورها منقرض شده‌اند. (Correct: Dinosaurs have become extinct.)

Lastly, be careful with the register. While mongharez is perfect for a paper or a formal discussion, in very casual slang, people sometimes use it to describe someone who is extremely 'old-fashioned' or 'outdated' (like a dinosaur), but this is metaphorical and should be used cautiously by learners to avoid sounding disrespectful. Stick to its scientific and historical roots until you are very comfortable with Persian nuances.

While منقرض is the most precise word for 'extinct,' there are several other words that cover similar ground depending on the context. If you want to say something has simply 'disappeared,' you might use nāpadid (ناپدید). However, nāpadid implies you just can't see it right now, whereas mongharez implies it is gone forever. If you are talking about a civilization that was 'wiped out' or 'destroyed,' you would use nābud (نابود). Nābud is more violent and active; mongharez is more about the finality of the lineage.

Mongharez vs. Az Bein Rafteh: 'Az bein rafteh' is a common Persian phrase meaning 'gone' or 'ruined.' It is less formal than mongharez.

تمدن‌های باستانی زیادی از میان رفته‌اند، اما لزوماً منقرض نشده‌اند. (Many ancient civilizations have passed away/vanished, but aren't necessarily extinct.)

For languages, you might hear the term mordeh (dead), as in 'zabān-e mordeh' (dead language), which is a direct translation of the English concept. However, 'zabān-e mongharez shodeh' is the more academic way to state it. If you are talking about a custom or tradition that is no longer practiced, you could use mansukh (منسوخ), which means 'obsolete' or 'abolished.' For example, an old law is mansukh, not mongharez. Choosing the right word depends on whether you are talking about biology (mongharez), laws (mansukh), or physical destruction (nābud).

این قانون قدیمی اکنون منسوخ شده است. (This old law is now obsolete/abolished.)

In summary, while Persian offers several ways to describe things that are no longer here, منقرض remains the king of scientific and historical finality. It connects you to the discourse of history and biology in a way that simpler words cannot. When you use it, you signal that you are discussing the permanent end of a specific type of life or power structure.

أصل الكلمة

Derived from the Arabic root ق-ر-ض (q-r-d), which relates to cutting, severing, or borrowing/paying back.

المعنى الأصلي: In Arabic, 'munqarid' means something that is cut off or has come to an end.

Semitic root, adapted into Persian academic and formal vocabulary.

السياق الثقافي

Be careful when using it metaphorically for people or cultures, as it implies they are completely gone and irrelevant.

English speakers use 'extinct' primarily for biology; Persian uses 'mongharez' equally for biology and royal history.

The extinction of the Sassanid Empire (انقراض ساسانیان). The extinction of the Caspian Tiger (ببر مازندران). Documentaries by Mohammad-Ali Inanloo about Iranian nature.

No, that would be incorrect and sound very strange. Use 'mordeh' or 'fot shodeh' for people.

It is of Arabic origin but is the standard word used in Persian for extinction.

Engherāz is the noun (extinction), and mongharez is the adjective (extinct).

Only metaphorically. It's better to use 'var-shekasteh' (bankrupt) or 'basteh shodeh' (closed).

You say 'dar khatar-e engherāz' (literally: in danger of extinction).

No, for fire use 'khamoush shodan'.

Yes, 'zabān-e mongharez shodeh' is the correct term for a dead/extinct language.

Yes, it is very common in school books and news.

It almost always takes 'shodan' (to become).

People might say 'naslesh az bein raft' (its generation vanished).
