§ What "متأهل شدن" Means
Let's get straight to it. If you're learning Persian, you'll definitely come across the phrase "متأهل شدن" (motahhel shodan). It's a key phrase when talking about life events. So, what does it mean? Simply put, it means 'to become married'. It’s a verb phrase, and it’s used in everyday conversation all the time.
- DEFINITION
- To become married.
This phrase uses the noun "متأهل" (motahhel), which means 'married' (as an adjective), combined with the verb "شدن" (shodan), meaning 'to become'. When you put them together, it literally translates to 'to become married'.
§ When to Use "متأهل شدن"
You use "متأهل شدن" when you're talking about the act of getting married or someone entering the state of marriage. It's a common phrase in conversations about relationships, family, and future plans. It's not a formal phrase, but it's also not overly casual. It's just... standard. Think of it like saying 'getting married' or 'to tie the knot' in English, but with less idiom and more direct meaning.
§ "متأهل شدن" in Context: Examples
Let's look at some practical examples so you can see how "متأهل شدن" is used in real sentences. This will help you understand the flow and context.
آنها سال گذشته متأهل شدند.
English hint: They got married last year.
او قصد دارد به زودی متأهل شود.
English hint: She intends to get married soon.

§ Important Nuances and Tips
While "متأهل شدن" is straightforward, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Not just 'being married': Remember, it's about the *process* of becoming married. If you want to say someone *is* married, you would use "متأهل است" (motahhel ast), meaning 'is married'.
- Formal vs. Informal: This phrase is perfectly fine in most situations, both formal and informal. You don't need to worry about sounding too formal or too casual.
Understanding this distinction between the action and the state is a good step towards sounding more natural in Persian. You'll often see this pattern with other "شدن" verbs. For example, "خسته شدن" (khaste shodan) means 'to become tired', while "خسته است" (khaste ast) means 'is tired'.
So, next time you're talking about someone's relationship status or future plans, you'll know exactly how to use "متأهل شدن" correctly. Keep practicing these examples, and you'll master it in no time!

Similar to 'ازدواج کردن', but 'عروسی کردن' (arusi kardan) specifically refers to 'to have a wedding' or 'to celebrate a wedding'. It emphasizes the ceremony rather than the marital status.

'خواستگاری کردن' (khāstegāri kardan) means 'to propose' or 'to ask for someone's hand in marriage'. It's a step *before* becoming married, not the act of becoming married itself.

او از دوست دخترش خواستگاری کرد. (He proposed to his girlfriend.)
