دکمه باز کردن in 30 Sekunden
- To unbutton clothes by releasing the button from the hole.
- A common compound verb: 'dokme' (button) + 'bāz kardan' (to open).
- Essential for daily life, medical visits, and describing comfort.
- Opposite of 'dokme bastan' (to button up clothes).
The Persian phrase دکمه باز کردن (dokme bāz kardan) is a compound verb that literally translates to 'button opening.' In English, we translate this as 'to unbutton.' It is an essential part of daily life vocabulary, specifically within the domain of clothing and personal grooming. This action describes the physical process of releasing a button from its hole. While it sounds simple, the context in which it is used can range from the mundane act of getting ready for bed to a medical instruction given by a doctor.
- Literal Breakdown
- The word 'dokme' (دکمه) means button, and 'bāz kardan' (باز کردن) is the light verb meaning 'to open'. Together, they form the specific action of unfastening.
In Iranian culture, as in many others, the act of unbuttoning can signal a transition from a formal state to a relaxed one. For instance, after a long day at a formal event, one might say they are dying to 'unbutton their collar.' It carries a sense of relief. In a medical context, a physician might use this phrase when asking a patient to prepare for an examination of the chest or abdomen.
وقتی به خانه رسیدم، اولین کاری که کردم دکمه باز کردن کت بود.
When I reached home, the first thing I did was unbuttoning my coat.
The phrase is also used when helping others, such as children or the elderly. A parent might say, 'Let me unbutton your shirt' (بذار دکمه پیرهنت رو باز کنم). It is a functional, high-frequency phrase that every B1 learner should master to navigate daily interactions involving clothing, shopping, or healthcare.
- Social Nuance
- Unbuttoning too many buttons in a formal Persian setting can be seen as overly casual or even disrespectful, so the verb often appears in contexts discussing dress codes.
او همیشه قبل از نشستن، دکمه بالای پیراهنش را باز میکند.
He always unbuttons the top button of his shirt before sitting down.
Furthermore, in the world of fashion and tailoring, this phrase is used when discussing the fit of a garment. If a shirt is too tight, the buttons might 'open themselves' (pop open), which is a different grammatical construction but uses the same root words. Understanding this verb allows you to describe personal comfort and physical actions with precision.
Using دکمه باز کردن correctly requires an understanding of Persian compound verb conjugation. The word 'dokme' (button) acts as the noun part, while 'bāz kardan' (to open) is the verbal element that changes according to the tense, person, and number. Because 'dokme' is the object being acted upon, it often takes the object marker 'rā' (را) in formal speech or the 'o' suffix in informal speech.
- Grammar Rule
- Object + (rā) + Compound Verb. Example: Man dokme-rā bāz mikonam (I unbutton the button).
When you want to specify which button or whose button, you use the Ezafe construction. For example, 'the button of the shirt' is 'dokme-ye pirāhan'. If you are unbuttoning your own shirt, you would say 'dokme-ye pirāhanam-rā bāz mikonam'. The flexibility of this verb allows it to be used in the past, present, and future tenses seamlessly.
بچه نتوانست دکمههایش را باز کند و گریه کرد.
The child couldn't unbutton his buttons and cried.
In the imperative (command) form, it is very common. 'Bāz kon' is the singular informal command. If you are at a tailor and they need you to unbutton your jacket to check the lining, they might say 'Lotfan dokme-hā-ye kotetān-rā bāz konid' (Please unbutton your coat's buttons).
For continuous actions, we use the 'dāshtan' auxiliary. 'Dāram dokme-hā-ye pirāhanam-ro bāz mikonam' (I am unbuttoning my shirt's buttons). This shows the action is happening right now. It is also useful in the negative: 'Man nemitavānam in dokme-rā bāz konam' (I cannot unbutton this button), perhaps because the button is too tight or the person's hands are cold.
- Tense Examples
- Past: Bāz kard (He/She unbuttoned). Present: Bāz mikonad (He/She unbuttons). Future: Bāz khāhad kard (He/She will unbutton).
آیا میتوانی دکمه پشت لباسم را باز کنی؟
Can you unbutton the button on the back of my dress?
You will encounter دکمه باز کردن in several distinct environments in Iran or Persian-speaking communities. One of the most common places is in a clothing store (boutique). When trying on a shirt or a suit, the salesperson might advise you on how the garment should look when unbuttoned. They might say, 'This style looks better if you unbutton the middle one' (این مدل اگر دکمه وسط را باز کنید بهتر به نظر میرسد).
- The Doctor's Office
- A very frequent setting. Doctors often say 'Dokme-hā-ye pirāhanetān rā bāz konid' to listen to your heart or lungs with a stethoscope.
In domestic life, it is heard daily. Parents teaching children how to dress themselves use this verb constantly. It is part of the vocabulary of independence for a child. You'll hear 'Try to unbutton it yourself' (سعی کن خودت دکمهاش را باز کنی). It also appears in literature and cinema to describe a character's state of mind—unbuttoning a collar to show agitation, heat, or a transition to a more relaxed, private setting.
دکتر گفت: «لطفاً دکمههای بالایی را باز کنید تا معاینه کنم.»
The doctor said, "Please unbutton the top buttons so I can examine you."
Another interesting context is in the laundry or dry cleaning business. A clerk might point out a broken button while you are 'unbuttoning' the shirt to hand it over. 'Be careful, this button is loose' (مواظب باش، این دکمه شل شده). In these interactions, the focus is on the physical integrity of the garment.
- Public Transportation
- On a crowded, hot bus or metro in Tehran, you might see people unbuttoning their coats or collars to get some air, often accompanied by a sigh of 'Cheghadr garm-e!' (How hot it is!).
فروشنده پیشنهاد داد که برای راحتی بیشتر، دکمه آخر را باز بگذارم.
The seller suggested that for more comfort, I should keep the last button unbuttoned.
One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make when learning دکمه باز کردن is using the wrong 'opening' verb. In English, we 'open' a door, 'open' a book, and 'open' a button. In Persian, 'bāz kardan' is quite versatile, but learners sometimes confuse it with 'shol kardan' (to loosen) or 'jodā kardan' (to separate).
- Mistake 1: Forgetting the Object Marker
- Saying 'Man dokme bāz mikonam' without the 'rā' or the specific context makes it sound like you are unbuttoning buttons in general as a hobby. Always specify: 'Dokme-ye pirāhanam-rā bāz mikonam'.
Another common error is the word order. In Persian, the noun 'dokme' must come before the verbal part 'bāz kardan'. Beginners sometimes try to translate the English 'unbutton' as a single word, but in Persian, it is almost always this compound structure. Attempting to use 'vashodan' (to become open) for a button you are actively unbuttoning is also a mistake; 'vashodan' is passive.
اشتباه: من دارم میکنم باز دکمه.
Wrong: I am doing open button. (Incorrect word order)
Learners also struggle with the pluralization. If you are unbuttoning a whole shirt, you should use 'dokme-hā' (buttons). Saying 'dokme-ye pirāhan-rā bāz kardam' (singular) implies you only unfastened one button, which might lead to confusion if you are actually taking the whole shirt off.
- Mistake 2: Confusing with 'Zipp'
- Do not use 'dokme bāz kardan' for zippers. For zippers, use 'zipp keshidan' (pulling the zip) or 'zipp bāz kardan'.
درست: من دکمههایم را باز کردم.
Correct: I unbuttoned my buttons.
While دکمه باز کردن is the standard term, there are several alternatives and related terms depending on the formality and the specific action being performed. Understanding these nuances will help you sound more like a native speaker and better understand the subtle shades of meaning in different contexts.
- وا کردن (Vā Kardan)
- This is the informal, colloquial version of 'bāz kardan'. You will hear this in homes and among friends. 'Dokmat-o vā kon' (Unbutton your button).
- گشودن (Goshudan)
- This is a highly formal and poetic verb for 'to open'. You won't hear it in a clothing store, but you might read it in a novel describing a character slowly unfastening a garment in a dramatic way.
It's also important to distinguish 'unbuttoning' from 'unzipping' or 'untying'. For a zipper, as mentioned, we use 'zipp bāz kardan'. For shoelaces or knots, we use 'band bāz kardan' or 'gereh bāz kardan'. Using the correct specific verb shows a high level of proficiency.
او گره کراواتش را باز کرد و بعد دکمه پیراهنش را.
He untied his tie's knot and then unbuttoned his shirt.
When a button comes off entirely, we use the verb 'kandeh shodan' (to be plucked/torn off). 'Dokme-ye pirāhanam kandeh shod' means 'My shirt button came off.' This is a very useful phrase to know alongside 'unbuttoning' because the two often happen in the same context of dressing or undressing.
- Comparison: Open vs. Loosen
- Bāz kardan (Open) vs. Shol kardan (Loosen). If you just want more air without fully unfastening, you 'loosen' the collar.
به جای اینکه دکمه را باز کنی، فقط آن را کمی شل کن.
Instead of unbuttoning it, just loosen it a little bit.
How Formal Is It?
Wusstest du?
Before buttons became common in Iran, clothes were often fastened with ties (band) or loops. The word 'dokme' spread as European-style tailoring became popular in the Qajar era.
Aussprachehilfe
- Pronouncing 'dokme' as 'du-kme' (using an 'u' sound instead of 'o').
- Making the 'ā' in 'bāz' too short like the 'a' in 'cat'.
- Forgetting to roll the 'r' in 'kardan'.
- Stressing the 'me' in 'dokme'.
- Merging 'bāz' and 'kardan' into one word without a slight pause.
Schwierigkeitsgrad

Requires correct conjugation of 'kardan' and use of 'rā'.
Frequent in daily life; once the pattern is learned, it is easy to use.
Must distinguish 'bāz' from 'baste' in fast speech.

Light Verb Mastery
Mastering 'kardan' is the key to Persian. Once you know how to conjugate 'kardan', you can use hundreds of verbs like 'dokme bāz kardan'.
Clothing Context
Learn this along with other clothing verbs like 'pushidan' (wear) and 'dar āvordan' (take off) to build a complete thematic set.
Formal vs Informal
Always use 'bāz kardan' in formal settings. 'Vā kardan' is strictly for people you are very close to.
The 'O' Sound
Make sure the 'o' in 'dokme' is a short, clear 'o' like in 'boat' but shorter, not an 'oo' sound.
Spelling Dokme
Remember the 'h' at the end of 'dokme' (دکمه) is silent and acts as a short 'e' vowel.
Natural Flow
In spoken Persian, 'dokme-hā-ye' often contracts to 'dokme-hā-e'. Try to mimic this for a more native sound.
Doctor's Commands
If a doctor says 'bāz konid', they almost always mean your shirt buttons. Don't be confused!
Poetic Usage
If you want to be poetic, use 'goshudan'. It adds a layer of sophistication to your Persian.
Visual Cues
Visualize a button popping open to remember 'bāz' (open).
Logic
If you can open a door (dar bāz kardan), you can open a button (dokme bāz kardan). Persian is very logical!

Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: The root of 'dokme' in Turkic relates to 'pressing' or 'fastening'. 'Bāz' comes from Middle Persian 'pādyāz', meaning 'open' or 'towards'.
Indo-European (Persian) with Turkic loanword influence.Kultureller Kontext
Be mindful of unbuttoning in very formal or religious settings in Iran, as it may be perceived as a lack of decorum.
