یاری کردن في 30 ثانية

  • A formal and literary Persian verb meaning 'to help' or 'to assist'.
  • Derived from 'yār' (friend), implying a supportive and loyal act of aid.
  • Commonly used in literature, news, and formal writing instead of 'komak kardan'.
  • Conjugated with 'kardan' and usually takes a direct object with 'rā'.

The Persian verb یاری کردن (yāri kardan) is a beautiful, slightly formal compound verb that translates to 'to help,' 'to assist,' or 'to aid.' While the more common کمک کردن (komak kardan) is used in everyday conversation, یاری کردن carries a more literary, noble, and sometimes spiritual connotation. It is derived from the noun یار (yār), which means 'friend,' 'companion,' or 'beloved.' Therefore, to 'yāri kardan' is not just to provide a service, but to act as a friend or a supportive companion in a time of need.

Root Meaning
Derived from 'Yār' (friend), implying a friendly or loyal assistance.
Register
Formal, literary, and polite. Frequently used in literature, news, and formal speeches.
Grammatical Structure
A compound verb consisting of the noun 'yāri' and the auxiliary verb 'kardan'.

«خداوند صابران را یاری می‌کند

— God helps the patient ones.

In a broader sense, this verb is used when the assistance provided is significant or when the speaker wishes to elevate the tone of the conversation. For instance, in humanitarian contexts or when discussing historical alliances, یاری کردن is the preferred choice. It suggests a deeper level of commitment than simple assistance. It is often used in the context of 'giving a hand' in a way that implies solidarity.

«دوستان واقعی در سختی‌ها یکدیگر را یاری می‌کنند

— Real friends assist each other during hardships.
Synonym Nuance
Unlike 'dastgiri kardan' (to catch/help the fallen), 'yāri kardan' is more general but remains elevated.

Using یاری کردن correctly involves understanding its syntax as a compound verb. In Persian, compound verbs are formed by a non-verbal element (the 'pre-verb') and a light verb. Here, یاری is the noun and کردن is the light verb that carries the conjugation.

  • Transitivity: It is a transitive verb, usually taking an object marked by the preposition را (rā) if the object is definite, or sometimes used with the preposition به (be) depending on the dialect and specific context, though را is standard for 'assisting someone'.
  • Tense Construction: To conjugate in the present, you use the stem کن (kon). For example: من یاری می‌کنم (I help).

«او مرا در انجام این پروژه یاری کرد

— He assisted me in doing this project.

When using it in the imperative, you would say یاری کن (yāri kon) for 'Help!' (singular/informal) or یاری کنید (yāri konid) (plural/formal). It is often found in the passive form as یاری شدن (yāri shodan), meaning 'to be helped'.

Common Prepositions
Often used with 'dar' (in) to specify the task: [Person] را در [Task] یاری کردن.

You will encounter یاری کردن in several specific domains of Persian life and media. It is not the word you would typically hear in a busy bazaar, but it is the word you will hear in a mosque, a university lecture, or on the evening news.

In Classical Literature
Poets like Rumi and Hafez use 'yār' and 'yāri' extensively to describe the support of the Divine or the loyalty of a friend.
In News & Media
Reports on international aid often use the phrase یاری‌رسانی (yāri-rasāni) to describe relief efforts.
In Religious Contexts
Sermons and prayers frequently use this verb to ask for God's assistance (یاریِ خداوند).

«دولت باید محرومان را یاری کند

— The government must assist the underprivileged.

If you are watching a Persian historical drama (like 'Mokhtarnameh' or 'Shahrazad'), characters will use this verb to express loyalty and alliance. It carries the weight of history and the depth of Persian hospitality and chivalry (Javanmardi).

Even though یاری کردن is straightforward, learners often make a few stylistic and grammatical errors. The most common is using it in a register that is too low.

  • Register Mismatch: Using 'yāri kardan' when asking a friend to help you carry a grocery bag sounds overly dramatic or sarcastic. Stick to 'komak' for daily chores.
  • Preposition Confusion: Some learners use 'be' (to) with 'yāri kardan' because they are used to 'komak kardan be...'. While 'yāri kardan be' is sometimes seen in older texts, the modern standard is to treat the person helped as a direct object with 'rā'.

«اشتباه: به من یاری کن. (Incorrect/Archaic)»

«درست: مرا یاری کن. (Correct/Standard)»

Persian has a rich vocabulary for the concept of 'help'. Understanding the nuances between these synonyms will help you choose the right word for the right situation.

کمک کردن (Komak Kardan)
The most common, neutral word for 'to help'. Used in all contexts.
مساعدت کردن (Mosā'edat Kardan)
Extremely formal, often used in administrative or official correspondence. It translates more to 'to facilitate' or 'to provide assistance'.
دستگیری کردن (Dastgiri Kardan)
Literally 'to take the hand'. It means to help someone who is in a truly desperate or fallen state.
حمایت کردن (Hemāyat Kardan)
To support or protect. This is more about ongoing support rather than a single act of help.

«ما باید از حقوق ضعیفان حمایت کنیم و آن‌ها را یاری دهیم

— We must support the rights of the weak and assist them.
