When something is بی حرکت (pronounced bi-harakat), it means it's not moving at all. Think of it like a statue or a parked car – they are completely still. You can use it to describe objects or even people who are standing very still. It's the opposite of something that is moving or active.
When something is بی حرکت (pronounced "bi-harakat"), it means it's completely still and not moving at all. Think of it as being motionless or stationary. You might use it to describe an object that hasn't changed its position, or a person who is standing perfectly still.
It can also imply a lack of activity or progress, like a project that has come to a standstill. So, while its primary meaning is physical stillness, it can extend to situations where there's no advancement or dynamism.
When we say something or someone is بی حرکت (pronounced "bi-harakat"), it means they are completely still and not moving at all. Think of it like a statue that stays in one place, or a car that isn't driving. It describes a state of being stationary.
For example, if you tell someone to "stay still," you could say "بی حرکت بمان" (bi-harakat be-mān). It's a useful word for describing things that are motionless, whether it's an object, an animal, or a person.

This is a very common and useful word, and you'll hear it a lot in everyday conversations in Persian. It's a straightforward term, so don't overthink it.

§ How to Use "بی حرکت"
You can use "بی حرکت" to describe pretty much anything that isn't in motion. This could be a person, an object, a vehicle, or even a body of water that's still. It's a versatile word, so you'll find many opportunities to use it. Here are some examples to help you get the hang of it:

§ Similar Words and When to Use "بی حرکت"
While "بی حرکت" is a great word, Persian has other ways to express similar ideas. It's good to know these alternatives so you can choose the best word for the situation.
- ثابت (sâbet): This also means "fixed" or "stable." While something "ثابت" is usually "بی حرکت," "ثابت" emphasizes stability and being unmoving from its position. Think of a fixed object like a table.
- ایستا (istâ): This word also means "stationary" or "static." It's quite close to "بی حرکت" and can often be used interchangeably, especially in more formal contexts.
- ساکن (sâken): This means "still," "quiet," or "resident." When referring to an object, it means stationary, similar to "بی حرکت." When talking about people, it can also mean quiet or calm.
So, when do you use "بی حرکت" versus these other words? Here's a breakdown:
- Use "بی حرکت" when you simply want to state that something is not in motion. It's the most common and general term. For example, a car stopped at a red light is "بی حرکت." A person standing still is "بی حرکت."
- Use "ثابت" when you want to emphasize that something is fixed in place, not just temporarily not moving. For instance, a permanent fixture in a room is "ثابت." A mathematical constant is also "ثابت."
- Use "ایستا" in contexts where you might use "static" in English, like a static image or a static position. It can be a bit more formal than "بی حرکت."
- Use "ساکن" when you're talking about something being still, often in the sense of being calm or not disturbed. It can also refer to someone residing somewhere (a resident). For example, a still pond could be described as "ساکن."
Let's look at a few examples to clarify the differences:
عکس بی حرکت بود. (The picture was still/motionless.)
این میز به زمین ثابت شده است. (This table is fixed to the ground.)
من در این شهر ساکن هستم. (I am a resident in this city.)
While you could technically use "ایستا" in many places where "بی حرکت" fits, "بی حرکت" is more common in everyday speech. Don't worry too much about perfect distinctions at first. Focus on mastering "بی حرکت" and then gradually add the nuances of the other words to your vocabulary. The more you read and listen to Persian, the more naturally you'll understand which word to use when.
How Formal Is It?
"نقاشی دیواری به دیوار ثابت شده بود. (The mural was fixed to the wall.)"
"او در جای خود بی حرکت ایستاد. (He stood motionless in his place.)"
"از ترس خشکم زد. (I froze stiff with fear.)"
"عروسک بی حرکت روی میز ایستاده بود. (The doll stood still on the table.)"
"با دیدن صحنه، میخکوب شدم. (Upon seeing the scene, I was transfixed.)"
Aussprachehilfe
- Ensure the 'ī' in 'bī' is pronounced as a long 'ee' sound, similar to 'bee' in English.
- The 'a' in 'harakat' are short 'a' sounds, like in 'cat'. Avoid over-elongating them.
