When we describe something as پرباد (pronounced: por-bâd), we are indicating that it is experiencing or is characterized by very strong winds. The word itself is a compound, combining 'پر' (por), meaning 'full' or 'very', and 'باد' (bâd), meaning 'wind'. So, literally, it translates to 'full of wind' or 'very windy'.
This adjective is commonly used to describe weather conditions, a specific day, or even a location that is frequently exposed to strong gusts. For instance, you might hear someone say: «امروز هوا پرباد است» (Emruz havâ porbâd ast), meaning "Today the weather is very windy." It emphasizes a significant presence of wind, more than just a light breeze.
§ What 'پرباد' Means
- DEFINITION
- The Persian adjective 'پرباد' (parbād) directly translates to 'very windy' or 'full of wind.' You use it to describe places, weather, or even situations where strong winds are a significant factor.
Think of it as the go-to word when you want to emphasize that the wind is really blowing. It's not just a little breeze; it's a noticeable, strong wind.
§ How to Use 'پرباد' in Sentences
'پرباد' is an adjective, so it works just like other descriptive words in Persian. It usually comes before the noun it describes, or after a linking verb like 'بودن' (to be) or 'شدن' (to become).
Here are some common ways you'll see and use 'پرباد':
- Describing weather: This is the most common use.
امروز هوا پرباد است.
- HINT
- Today the weather is very windy.
طوفان شب گذشته، روز را پرباد کرد.
- HINT
- The storm last night made the day very windy.
- Describing a place: If a certain area is known for strong winds.
این ساحل همیشه پرباد است.
- HINT
- This beach is always very windy.
ما به یک منطقه پرباد سفر کردیم.
- HINT
- We traveled to a very windy region.
§ Grammar and Prepositions
Since 'پرباد' is an adjective, it doesn't typically require special prepositions to connect it to the noun it modifies. It functions directly with the noun or after a linking verb.
When describing weather, you'll often see it with the word 'هوا' (havā, meaning 'weather' or 'air').
هوا خیلی پرباد بود.
- HINT
- The weather was very windy.
You can also use adverbs of degree like 'خیلی' (kheyli - very) or 'بسیار' (besyār - very/much) to emphasize the intensity even further, although 'پرباد' already implies a strong wind on its own.
این کوهستان همیشه بسیار پرباد است.
- HINT
- This mountainous area is always very, very windy.
§ Common Phrases with 'پرباد'
While 'پرباد' is straightforward, you'll hear it in contexts related to weather conditions, outdoor activities, or even describing locations.
- Referring to a windy day:
روز پرباد برای چتربازی مناسب نیست.
- HINT
- A very windy day is not suitable for skydiving.
- Discussing travel or outdoor plans:
قرار بود به شمال برویم ولی هوا پرباد شد.
- HINT
- We were supposed to go north, but it became very windy.
