When you want to promise something in Persian, you use the verb قول دادن (ghol dâdan). This literally means 'to give a promise.'
For example, if you say 'I promise,' you would say من قول میدهم (man ghol midaham).
It's very common and useful for everyday conversations.
When you want to promise something in Persian, you use the verb قول دادن (ghol daadan). This literally translates to 'to give a promise'.
You can use it in various contexts, like promising to do something for someone, or promising to keep a secret.
For example, you can say 'من قول میدهم که بیایم' (man ghol midaham ke beyaayam) meaning 'I promise that I will come'. Or, 'او به من قول داد که کمک کند' (oo be man ghol daad ke komak konad) which means 'He promised me that he would help'.
It's a very common and practical verb to use when you want to express commitment.
When you want to promise something in Persian, you use the verb قول دادن (ghol dâdan). This literally translates to 'to give a promise'. It's a common and straightforward way to express that you are giving your word or making a commitment.
For example, if you say قول میدهم بیایم (ghol midaham biyâyam), you are saying 'I promise I will come'. Or if someone asks you قول میدی؟ (ghol midi?), they are asking 'Do you promise?'.
It's generally used for personal commitments rather than formal agreements. Remember that دادن is the infinitive for 'to give', so it conjugates just like other verbs ending in دادن.
Alright, let's talk about 'قول دادن' (ghol dâdan), which means 'to promise'. It seems straightforward, right? But like many words in a new language, there are some common pitfalls that learners often fall into. Don't worry, we're going to clear them all up so you can use this verb correctly and confidently.
§ Mistake 1: Not using the correct prepositions
This is a big one. In Persian, when you promise something to someone, you need to use the preposition 'به' (be) or sometimes 'برای' (barâye) before the person. If you're promising to do an action, the structure also changes a bit. Let's look at what people often do wrong and how to fix it.
- Wrong:
- من او را قول دادم. (Man u râ ghol dâdam.)
Literally: I promised him (direct object).
This is incorrect because 'قول دادن' takes an indirect object for the person you're promising to. Think of it as 'giving a promise to someone'.
- Correct:
- من به او قول دادم. (Man be u ghol dâdam.)
I promised to him.
او قول داد به موقع بیاید. (U ghol dâd be moghe biyâyad.)
- Translation hint:
- He promised to come on time.
§ Mistake 2: Confusing 'قول دادن' with 'قول گرفتن'
This is another common trap. 'قول دادن' means 'to promise'. The opposite, 'to get a promise' or 'to receive a promise', is 'قول گرفتن' (ghol gereftan). Sometimes learners try to use 'قول دادن' when they mean 'to get a promise'.
- Wrong:
- من از او قول دادم. (Man az u ghol dâdam.)
Literally: I promised from him (incorrect structure).
This sentence structure doesn't work for 'getting a promise'. You are *giving* the promise when you use 'قول دادن'.
- Correct:
- من از او قول گرفتم. (Man az u ghol gereftam.)
I got a promise from him.
او قول داد که دیگر دیر نکند. (U ghol dâd ke digar dir nakond.)
- Translation hint:
- He promised not to be late again.
§ Mistake 3: Overusing 'قول دادن' for simple intentions
While 'قول دادن' is great for formal promises, sometimes learners use it for general intentions or plans, where a simpler verb would be more natural. Think about how often you say 'I promise' in English versus 'I will' or 'I plan to'. Persian is similar.
- Less natural:
- من قول میدهم فردا بیایم. (Man ghol midaham fardâ biyâyam.)
I promise to come tomorrow (sounds a bit strong for a casual plan).
Unless you really want to emphasize the promise, a simpler future tense or 'میخواهم' (mikhâham - I want to/I intend to) is often more appropriate for everyday plans.
- More natural:
- فردا میام. (Fardâ miyâm.)
I'll come tomorrow. - میخواهم فردا بیایم. (Mikhâham fardâ biyâyam.)
I want to come tomorrow / I plan to come tomorrow.
§ Mistake 4: Incorrect verb conjugation
'قول دادن' is a compound verb. This means that 'قول' (ghol - promise) is the noun, and 'دادن' (dâdan - to give) is the verb that gets conjugated. Learners sometimes try to conjugate both parts or make other mistakes with the verb 'دادن'.
- Remember: Only the 'دادن' part changes for tense and person. 'قول' stays the same.
من قول میدهم که هرگز دروغ نگویم. (Man ghol midaham ke hargez dorugh naguyam.)
- Translation hint:
- I promise that I will never lie.
آنها به من قول دادند کمک کنند. (Ânhâ be man ghol dâdand komak konand.)
- Translation hint:
- They promised me they would help.
See how 'دادن' changes to 'میدهم' (midaham - I give) or 'دادند' (dâdand - they gave) while 'قول' remains the same? This is crucial for correct usage.
By keeping these common mistakes in mind, you'll be well on your way to using 'قول دادن' like a pro. Pay attention to the prepositions, differentiate it from 'قول گرفتن', choose it wisely for actual promises, and always conjugate the 'دادن' part correctly. You've got this!
How Formal Is It?
"شرکت تعهد داد که پروژه را به موقع تحویل دهد. (Sherkat ta'ahhod dâd ke projez ra be موقع tahvil dahad.) - The company promised to deliver the project on time."
"من قول می دهم که فردا بیایم. (Man ghol mi daham ke fardâ biyâyam.) - I promise to come tomorrow."
"حرف دادم که انجامش بدم. (Harf dâdam ke anjâmesh bedam.) - I gave my word to do it."
"مامان قول قولک کرد که برام اسباب بازی بخره. (Mâman ghol gholak kard ke barâm asbâb bâzi bekare.) - Mommy promised to buy me a toy."
"اگه گفتی، باید پای حرفت وایسی. (Age gofti, bâyad pâ-ye harfet vâysi.) - If you said it, you have to stand by your word."

The word 'قول' (qawl) is common in many Islamic languages due to its Arabic origin and significance in religious texts.
Wichtige Grammatik
When conjugating 'قول دادن' (ghol dadan), the 'دادن' (dadan) part conjugates like any other verb meaning 'to give'.
من قول می دهم (man ghol mi daham) - I promise.
'قول دادن' is often used with an indirect object to specify to whom the promise is made. This uses the preposition 'به' (be).
من به تو قول می دهم (man be to ghol mi daham) - I promise you.
To specify what is being promised, you can use a subordinate clause introduced by 'که' (ke) or directly state the promised action/item.
او قول داد که بیاید (u ghol dad ke biyâyad) - He promised that he would come.
The past stem of 'دادن' (dadan) is 'داد' (dad), so for past tense conjugations, you'll see this form.
من قول دادم (man ghol dadam) - I promised.
In negative sentences, the 'می' (mi) prefix in the present tense still precedes 'ده' (deh) from 'دادن' (dadan), and 'ن' (na) is added for negation.
من قول نمی دهم (man ghol nemi daham) - I do not promise.

So verwendest du es
When you want to promise something in Persian, you use the verb قول دادن (ghol dâdan). It literally means 'to give a promise.' You can use it in various tenses just like in English.
Here's how to use it:
- To promise to do something: You usually follow it with the infinitive form of the verb you are promising to do, often with the preposition 'که' (ke).
Example: من قول میدهم که بیایم. (Man ghol midaham ke biyâyam.) - I promise that I will come. - To promise someone something: You can use it with a direct object.
Example: او به من قول داد که کمک کند. (U be man ghol dâd ke komak konad.) - He promised me that he would help.
A common mistake is trying to directly translate 'to promise' word-for-word. Remember, it's قول دادن (ghol dâdan), not just 'قول' (ghol) by itself for the verb. Another mistake is forgetting the 'که' (ke) when promising to do an action, although sometimes it can be omitted in very casual speech, it's safer to include it for clarity.
Incorrect: من قول میدهم بیایم. (Man ghol midaham biyâyam.) - While understandable, it's less grammatically complete.
Correct: من قول میدهم که بیایم. (Man ghol midaham ke biyâyam.) - I promise that I will come.
