کدری in 30 Sekunden
- کدری means opacity, dullness, or haziness.
- It describes the lack of clarity or transparency.
- Used for liquids, glass, colors, and sometimes abstract concepts.
- The adjective form is 'کدر' (kadar).
The Persian word کدری (kadri) primarily refers to the quality of being opaque or unclear. Think of it as the opposite of transparency. When something has کدری, you can't see through it clearly. This can apply to various situations. For instance, if a glass of water isn't perfectly clear and has some cloudiness, you would describe its کدری. Similarly, if a paint color is not vibrant and appears dull or muted, its کدری might be a characteristic. In a more figurative sense, کدری can also imply a lack of clarity or understanding in a situation or thought process, though this usage is less common than the literal one. When describing the visual appearance of something, especially liquids, glass, or even the air during a dust storm, کدری is the appropriate term. It's a descriptive word that paints a picture of something not being perfectly sharp or transparent. Imagine looking through a foggy window; that fogginess is a form of کدری. It's about the absence of pristine clarity. In the context of colors, it suggests a lack of saturation or brilliance, making the color appear less intense or more muted. This word helps us articulate nuances in visual perception. For example, a doctor might examine a patient's urine and note its کدری as a diagnostic sign. A chef might observe the کدری of a broth to assess its quality. In art, an artist might intentionally use techniques to create کدری in a painting for a specific effect. The term is versatile enough to cover a range of non-transparent or unclear states.
- Literal Meaning
- The state of being opaque or not clear.
- Figurative Meaning
- A lack of clarity or understanding.
- Common Applications
- Liquids, glass, colors, air quality, visual perception.
The کدری of the water was noticeable.
Using کدری correctly involves understanding its context. It's often used as a noun to describe the state of something. For instance, you might say, 'The کدری of the window made it difficult to see outside.' (پنجره کدری داشت که دیدن بیرون را سخت میکرد - Panjereh kadri dāsht ke didan-e birun rā sakht mikard). In this case, کدری is the quality of the window that obstructs the view. Another common usage is with liquids. 'The doctor noticed the کدری in the patient's urine sample.' (دکتر کدری در نمونه ادرار بیمار را متوجه شد - Doktor kadri dar nemuneh-ye edrār-e bimār rā motevajjeh shod). Here, کدری refers to the cloudiness of the urine. When talking about colors, it might be used to describe a lack of vibrancy. 'The artist tried to reduce the کدری of the paint by adding more pigment.' (هنرمند سعی کرد کدری رنگ را با افزودن رنگدانه بیشتر کاهش دهد - Honarmand sa'i kard kadri rang rā bā afzudan-e rangdāneh-ye bishtar kāhesh dahad). You can also use it in more general descriptions of atmosphere or environment. 'The کدری of the air made the distant mountains appear hazy.' (هوای کدری باعث شد کوههای دوردست مهآلود به نظر برسند - Havā-ye kadri bā'es shod kuhā-ye durdast meh'ālud be nazar beresand). The word can also be modified by adjectives to specify the degree or type of unclearness. For example, 'slight کدری' (کمی کدری - kami kadri) or 'significant کدری' (کدری قابل توجه - kadri-ye qābel-e tavajjoh). It's important to remember that کدری is a noun. To describe something as being opaque or unclear, you would use related adjectives like 'کدر' (kadar).
- Basic Structure
- [Subject] + [verb indicating presence/notice] + کدری + [of what]
- Adjectival Modifiers
- Use words like 'کمی' (kami - a little) or 'قابل توجه' (qābel-e tavajjoh - significant) to describe the degree of کدری.

- Remember that کدری is a noun; the adjective form is 'کدر' (kadar).
The کدری of the soup needed to be addressed.
کدری is a word you'll frequently encounter in everyday Persian conversations, particularly when discussing visual qualities or the state of substances. In a domestic setting, people might talk about the کدری of drinking water if it's not perfectly clear, perhaps due to impurities or recent plumbing work. 'آب امروز یه کم کدری داره' (Āb-e emruz ye kam kadri dāre) - 'The water has a bit of opacity today.' In kitchens and restaurants, chefs might discuss the کدری of broths or sauces. For example, 'این سوپ کدری زیادی داره، باید صاف بشه' (In sup kadri-ye ziyādi dāre, bāyad sāf beshe) - 'This soup has a lot of cloudiness, it needs to be strained.' Medical contexts are also common places to hear this word. Doctors and nurses often refer to the کدری of bodily fluids like urine or blood when describing test results. 'نمونه ادرار کدری داشت' (Nemuneh-ye edrār kadri dāsht) - 'The urine sample had haziness.' In manufacturing and industrial settings, especially those dealing with glass, plastics, or liquids, کدری is used to describe product quality. For instance, a quality control inspector might reject a batch of glass due to excessive کدری. Environmental discussions might also involve this term, particularly when describing air pollution or dust storms. 'شدت کدری هوا امروز زیاد است' (Sheddat-e kadri-ye havā emruz ziyād ast) - 'The intensity of the air's haze is high today.' Even in discussions about art and aesthetics, the کدری of a pigment or finish can be a point of discussion. You might hear it in a pottery class discussing glazes or a painting workshop. The term is fundamentally descriptive of a visual property, making it relevant in many fields that involve observation and material properties. It's a practical word for conveying a lack of clarity or transparency.

The کدری of the glass was unacceptable for the product packaging.
A common mistake when learning کدری is confusing it with its adjective form, 'کدر' (kadar). While کدری is a noun meaning 'opacity' or 'dullness,' 'کدر' is an adjective meaning 'opaque,' 'dull,' or 'hazy.' So, you wouldn't say 'این آب کدری است' (This water is opacity). Instead, you should say 'این آب کدر است' (In āb kadar ast) - 'This water is opaque/cloudy.' Another potential pitfall is using کدری to describe something that is simply not bright, without implying a lack of transparency. While کدری can relate to dullness, its core meaning is about opaqueness. For instance, if a black object is matte and not shiny, you might describe its surface as 'matte' or 'dull' using other Persian words, rather than exclusively relying on کدری. Overusing کدری in contexts where 'شفافیت' (shafāfiyat - transparency) or 'وضوح' (vuzuh - clarity) are more appropriate can also be a mistake. For example, you wouldn't say 'کدری این جمله را متوجه نشدم' (I didn't understand the opacity of this sentence). Instead, you'd use 'عدم وضوح' (adam-e vuzuh - lack of clarity) or similar phrases. Learners might also sometimes use کدری when a more specific term for a particular type of unclearness is needed, such as 'غبار' (gobar - dust) or 'دود' (dud - smoke) when describing atmospheric conditions. While these contribute to کدری, they are not synonyms. Finally, be mindful of the register. While کدری is generally a neutral term, its figurative use to mean lack of understanding might be perceived as slightly informal or less precise than more formal phrasing in academic contexts. Always ensure the noun form is used where a noun is required, and the adjective form where an adjective is needed.
- Noun vs. Adjective
- Confusing کدری (noun) with 'کدر' (kadar - adjective) is the most frequent error. Ensure you use the noun when referring to the quality itself.
- Scope of Meaning
- Avoid using کدری for general dullness if transparency is not the issue; other words might be more precise.
- Figurative vs. Literal
- In abstract contexts, ensure کدری is appropriate; 'عدم وضوح' might be better for lack of clarity in text.
Incorrect: این مایع کدری دارد. Correct: این مایع کدر است.
When looking for alternatives to کدری, it's important to consider the specific nuance you want to convey. The most direct synonym in terms of visual unclearness is کدر (kadar), which is the adjective form meaning 'opaque,' 'cloudy,' or 'dull.' So, instead of saying 'the کدری of the liquid,' you could say 'the liquid is کدر.' Another related term is غبار (gobar), meaning 'dust' or 'haze.' While dust contributes to کدری, غبار specifically refers to the particulate matter itself. For instance, 'the کدری of the air was due to غبار.' In the context of colors, if you mean a lack of brightness or vibrancy, you might use words like بیروحی (bi-ruhi - lifelessness) or کسالت (kesālat - dullness, weariness, but can apply to colors). However, these are more about the aesthetic quality than physical opacity. For a general lack of clarity or understanding, especially in abstract contexts, عدم وضوح (adam-e vuzuh - lack of clarity) or ابهام (ebhām - ambiguity) are more precise. شفافیت (shafāfiyat - transparency) is the direct antonym of کدری, referring to the quality of being clear and allowing light to pass through. روشن (rowshan - clear, bright) is another antonym, often used for liquids or explanations. صاف (sāf - clear, pure, smooth) is also a good alternative for describing clear liquids or smooth surfaces, contrasting with کدر. The choice depends heavily on whether you're describing a physical substance, a color, or an abstract concept.

How Formal Is It?
Wusstest du?
The Arabic root 'کدر' (k-d-r) also appears in words related to distress or sadness, suggesting a shared concept of something being 'darkened' or 'clouded' in both physical and emotional senses. For example, 'کدر' can mean troubled or distressed.

Schwierigkeitsgrad
Understanding 'کدری' in reading requires recognizing its literal meaning related to visual properties and its occasional figurative use. Context is key to distinguishing between physical opacity and abstract unclearness.
Using 'کدری' correctly in writing involves distinguishing it from its adjective form 'کدر' and applying it appropriately in literal or figurative contexts. Mastering its noun usage is important.
Pronunciation is relatively straightforward, but using 'کدری' and 'کدر' interchangeably or applying the noun in situations requiring an adjective can be a common speaking error.
Recognizing 'کدری' in spoken Persian depends on context. Distinguishing its literal meaning from idiomatic or figurative uses requires careful attention to the surrounding words and the speaker's intent.

Both words share the same root and relate to unclearness.
'کدری' is a noun referring to the quality or state of being opaque or dull. 'کدر' is an adjective describing something *as* opaque or dull. For example, 'The <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>کدری</mark> of the glass is high' (noun), versus 'The glass is <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>کدر</mark>' (adjective).
The <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>کدری</mark> of the water made it unsuitable for drinking. (Noun usage). The water was <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>کدر</mark>. (Adjective usage).
They are direct opposites in meaning.
'کدری' means opacity or dullness (lack of transparency). 'شفافیت' means transparency (the ability to see through something). You use 'کدری' when something is not clear, and 'شفافیت' when it is.
We need to measure the <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>کدری</mark> (opacity) of the sample. The <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>شفافیت</mark> (transparency) of the glass is excellent.
Both can relate to a lack of brightness or clarity.
'تیرگی' generally refers to darkness or dimness, often related to the absence of light. 'کدری' refers more specifically to a lack of transparency or clarity, often due to suspended particles or inherent properties of the material, regardless of the light level.
The <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>تیرگی</mark> of the night was profound. (Darkness). The <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>کدری</mark> of the pond water was due to algae. (Cloudiness).
Both can imply a lack of clarity, but in different domains.
'کدری' is primarily used for physical, visual unclearness or opacity. 'ابهام' refers to ambiguity or lack of clarity in meaning, language, or concepts. You can have 'کدری' in a liquid, but 'ابهام' in a sentence.
The <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>کدری</mark> of the glass prevented us from seeing inside. (Physical). There was <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>ابهام</mark> (ambiguity) in his statement.
Dust and haze contribute to 'کدری'.
'غبار' specifically refers to dust particles or haze in the air. 'کدری' is the resulting state of unclearness or opacity caused by such particles (or other factors). So, 'غبار' is a cause, and 'کدری' is the effect.
The <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>غبار</mark> (dust) in the air caused significant <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>کدری</mark> (haziness/opacity).

'غبار' (gobar) means dust or haze. 'کدری' is the resulting opacity or haziness. So, 'The <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>غبار</mark> caused <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>کدری</mark> in the air.'

Using 'کدری' when transparency or clarity is specifically lacking.
'کدری' is about not being clear or transparent. A color might be dull ('کدر') but not necessarily opaque. Using 'کدری' for a matte finish that isn't opaque might be slightly imprecise compared to using 'مات' (matte).
Tipps
Noun vs. Adjective
The most common pitfall is confusing 'کدری' (noun) with 'کدر' (adjective). Think of 'کدری' as the 'dullness' itself, and 'کدر' as describing something *as* dull. For instance, 'The کدری of the paint was noticeable' (noun), versus 'The paint was کدر' (adjective).
Literal vs. Figurative
'کدری' is primarily used for literal visual unclearness (cloudy water, hazy air). However, it can be used figuratively to mean a lack of clarity in understanding, speech, or even in one's perspective (e.g., 'کدری فکر' - cloudiness of thought). Context is key to understanding which meaning is intended.
Antonym Association
To remember 'کدری', associate it with its direct antonym 'شفافیت' (shafāfiyat - transparency). 'کدری' is the absence of 'شفافیت'. Picturing something very clear versus something very cloudy can help solidify the meaning.
Stress and Vowels
Pay attention to the stress on the second syllable (kad-REE). Ensure the 'a' sound is open like in 'father' and the final 'i' is a long 'ee' sound as in 'see'. Practicing with native speakers or audio resources is recommended.
Beyond Visuals
While 'کدری' often describes visual properties, its figurative use extends to non-visual concepts like bias ('چشمش کدری دارد') or lack of understanding. Be aware of these idiomatic and metaphorical applications.
Collocations
Learn common phrases like 'کدری آب' (water cloudiness), 'کدری هوا' (air haziness), and 'رنگ کدر' (dull color). These collocations will help you use the word more naturally in sentences.
Visual Mnemonics
Imagine a painter trying to paint a very dull, hazy sky. The word 'کدری' can be linked to this visual of a lack of clear blue. Or imagine a glass of milk – you can't see through it due to its 'کدری'.
Medical Relevance
In medical contexts, 'کدری' is often used to describe bodily fluids like urine or blood. This is a common scenario where you might encounter the word, and it's important to understand its literal meaning here.
Related Concepts
Think about related concepts like 'dust' (غبار), 'fog' (مه), 'haze' (غبار), 'cloudiness' (کدری), and 'opacity' (کدری/عدم شفافیت). Understanding these connections can enrich your vocabulary.
Sentence Building
Practice creating your own sentences using 'کدری' as a noun and 'کدر' as an adjective. Try describing different objects and situations you encounter daily. For example, 'My tea has a slight کدری.' or 'The glass is کدر.'
Einprägen
Eselsbrücke
Imagine a 'cadre' of artists trying to paint a dull, cloudy sky. The 'cadre' is working hard, but the sky remains 'کدری'. The word 'cadre' sounds like 'کدر' (kadar), and the image of a dull sky helps remember 'کدری' (kadri) for dullness/opacity.
Visuelle Assoziation
Picture a glass of water that is very cloudy, almost milky. You can't see through it at all. This visual of extreme cloudiness represents the meaning of 'کدری'. Alternatively, visualize a dull, gray sky with no sun visible.

Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: Turbidity, cloudiness, impurity.
Semitic (Arabic origin, adopted into Persian)Kultureller Kontext
While 'کدری' can be used neutrally to describe physical properties, its figurative use to imply lack of intelligence, bias, or moral failing should be approached with care, as it can be critical.
In English, words like 'opacity,' 'dullness,' and 'haziness' capture the essence of 'کدری'. The figurative use can be similar to 'lack of clarity' or 'being opaque' in meaning.

Yes, 'کدری' can be used figuratively to describe a lack of clarity in thought, speech, or understanding. For example, 'کدری فکر' (cloudiness of thought) or 'کدری در کلام' (unclearness in speech). However, in more formal or precise contexts for abstract ideas, words like 'ابهام' (ambiguity) or 'عدم وضوح' (lack of clarity) might be preferred.

It's also used for materials like glass or plastic that are not transparent, for atmospheric conditions like haze, and sometimes for dull colors. Figuratively, it can describe unclear communication or biased perspectives.
The most direct antonym for 'کدری' is 'شفافیت' (shafāfiyat), meaning transparency. Other antonyms depending on context include 'روشن' (rowshan - clear, bright) and 'صاف' (sāf - clear, pure), especially when referring to liquids or explanations.

Similar words include 'کدر' (adjective), 'تیرگی' (darkness/dimness), 'غبار' (dust/haze), 'ماتی' (matte finish), and 'ابهام' (ambiguity for abstract concepts).
