گوش کردن

gush kardan Top 1,800

At the A1 level, 'گوش کردن' (Goosh kardan) is one of the first compound verbs you will learn. It is essential for basic classroom instructions and daily life. You should focus on the present simple tense: 'Man goosh mikonam' (I listen). At this stage, you use it to talk about listening to music, listening to the teacher, or listening to your parents. The key is to remember the preposition 'be' (to). You don't need to worry about complex nuances; just treat it as the direct equivalent of 'to listen'. You will mostly see it in the imperative form 'Goosh kon!' (Listen!) used by teachers or in audio exercises. Practice connecting it with simple nouns like 'musighi' (music), 'mo'allem' (teacher), and 'mādar' (mother). Understanding that 'Goosh' means 'ear' helps you memorize the word easily. It's a 'doing ear' action. Keep your sentences short: 'Be man goosh kon' (Listen to me).

At the A2 level, you begin to use 'گوش کردن' in more varied tenses, such as the past simple ('Goosh kardam') and the present continuous ('Dāram goosh mikonam'). You also start to distinguish it from 'Shenidan' (to hear). You can now describe your hobbies: 'Man har rooz be radio goosh mikonam' (I listen to the radio every day). You might also encounter the colloquial version 'Goosh dadan'. At this level, you should be able to follow simple instructions that involve listening, like 'Be dāstān goosh konid va be soālāt pāsoch dehid' (Listen to the story and answer the questions). You are also learning to use adverbs like 'khub' (well) or 'kam' (a little) with the verb. You start to understand that 'listening' in Persian can also imply 'obeying' in a family context. Practice using it in the negative: 'Goosh nakardam' (I didn't listen).

At the B1 level, you should be comfortable using 'گوش کردن' in all major tenses, including the present perfect ('Goosh kardeh-am') and the past continuous ('Dāshtam goosh mikardam'). You can use it to express more complex ideas, such as listening to advice ('nasihat') or listening to the news ('akhbār') to form an opinion. You begin to notice the verb in more varied social contexts, such as podcasts or interviews. You should also be aware of the formal alternative 'Goosh farā dādan' in literature or formal speeches. At B1, you can use the verb to describe habits and preferences in detail: 'Vaghti dāram varzesh mikonam, be musighi-ye tond goosh mikonam' (When I am exercising, I listen to fast music). You also start to use it in conditional sentences: 'Agar be harfam goosh mikardi, in moshkel pish nemi-āmad' (If you had listened to me, this problem wouldn't have happened).

At the B2 level, you use 'گوش کردن' with a high degree of nuance. You understand the subtle difference between 'Goosh kardan' and 'Tavajoh kardan' (paying attention). You can use the verb in complex grammatical structures, such as the passive voice (though rare for this specific verb) or within complex relative clauses. You are familiar with idiomatic expressions involving the ear, such as 'Goosh-e-zang' (to be alert). You can discuss the importance of active listening in communication: 'Goosh kardan-e fa'āl dar ertebātāt besyār mohem ast' (Active listening is very important in communications). You can also handle the verb in more abstract contexts, like listening to one's conscience or listening to the 'voice of the people'. Your vocabulary includes synonyms like 'Estemā' kardan' for formal contexts. You can write essays about the role of media and how people 'listen' to different sources of information.

At the C1 level, you have a sophisticated command of 'گوش کردن' and its synonyms. You can use 'Goosh farā dādan' and 'Goosh sepordan' naturally in poetic or highly formal discourse. You understand the etymological roots of the word and can appreciate its use in classical Persian poetry (like Rumi or Hafez) where 'listening' often has a spiritual or mystical connotation. You can analyze the register of a text based on whether the author uses 'Goosh kardan', 'Goosh dadan', or 'Estemā' kardan'. You are capable of using the verb in professional settings, such as a legal 'estemā'' (hearing) or a medical consultation. You can discuss the phonetics of the word and how the 'n' is dropped in various Iranian dialects. You use the verb to express subtle social cues, such as 'listening between the lines' or the cultural importance of 'giving ear' to elders.

At the C2 level, your mastery of 'گوش کردن' is indistinguishable from that of an educated native speaker. You can use the verb in its most archaic and contemporary forms with ease. You can engage in deep literary analysis of how 'listening' is portrayed in Persian philosophy and mysticism. You are comfortable with all idiomatic and metaphorical uses, such as 'Goosh-e-kas-i rā boridan' (to cheat someone - though this uses 'ear' differently, you know the connection). You can debate the evolution of the compound verb structure in Persian. You can use the verb to navigate the most sensitive social situations, knowing exactly which synonym conveys the right level of respect or intimacy. You can produce high-level academic or creative writing where 'listening' is a central theme, using a rich array of collocations and stylistic variations that reflect the depth of the Persian language.

گوش کردن en 30 segundos

Common compound verb for 'to listen'.
Requires the preposition 'be' (to).
Active focus, unlike the passive 'shenidan' (to hear).
Can also mean 'to obey' in social contexts.

The Persian verb گوش کردن (Goosh Kardan) is a compound verb that literally translates to 'to do ear.' In the landscape of Persian linguistics, this is the foundational way to express the act of listening. Unlike the simple verb شنیدن (Shenidan), which refers to the passive act of hearing, گوش کردن implies an intentional, active engagement with sound. When you use this verb, you are describing a cognitive process where the subject is focusing their attention on a specific auditory stimulus, whether it be music, a lecture, or a friend's advice.

Grammatical Structure: It is a compound verb (Fe'l-e Morakkab) consisting of the noun 'Goosh' (ear) and the auxiliary verb 'Kardan' (to do). In conjugation, only the 'Kardan' part changes.

من دارم به رادیو گوش می‌کنم.

(I am listening to the radio.)

In Persian culture, the act of listening is deeply tied to respect and wisdom. To 'give an ear' is to offer one's presence. This verb is used across all registers, from the most informal street slang to the highest forms of classical literature, though more formal synonyms like استماع کردن exist for legal or academic contexts. The semantic range covers everything from obeying a parent to enjoying a symphony.

Active vs Passive: While 'Shenidan' is the physical ability to hear, 'Goosh Kardan' is the mental choice to listen. You might hear (shenidan) a noise in the street, but you listen (goosh kardan) to a podcast.

لطفاً به من گوش کن!

(Please listen to me!)

The word 'Goosh' itself is Indo-European in origin, related to the Avestan 'gaoša'. Understanding this root helps learners connect it to other ear-related terms like گوشواره (earring) or گوشی (phone/headset). In modern Tehran dialect, the 'n' at the end of 'kardan' is often dropped in colloquial speech, making it 'goosh kardan' or simply 'goosh kardan' in its infinitive form, but conjugated as 'goosh mikonam'.

او به حرف معلمش گوش کرد.

(He listened to [obeyed] his teacher.)

Visualizing the Verb: Imagine the ear (goosh) as a tool you are 'doing' or 'operating' (kardan). It is a mechanical action of the mind.

باید با دقت گوش کنی.

(You must listen carefully.)

بچه‌ها دارند به داستان گوش می‌دهند.

(The children are listening to the story.)

Using گوش کردن correctly requires understanding its status as a compound verb. In Persian, compound verbs are the most common type of verb. The first part, 'Goosh', remains static, while the second part, 'Kardan', carries all the weight of tense, person, and mood. For example, in the present continuous, you say دارم گوش می‌کنم (I am listening). Notice how the 'mi-' prefix and the personal ending '-am' are attached to 'kardan'.

Prepositional Usage: Always use the preposition 'be' (به) before the object. Unlike English where you 'listen to' something, in Persian, the 'be' is non-negotiable for clarity.

به موسیقی گوش کن.

(Listen to the music.)

When negating the verb, the 'na-' prefix attaches to the 'mi-' or the start of the 'kardan' part: گوش نمی‌کنم (I don't listen). In the past tense, it becomes گوش کردم (I listened). It is important to keep the two parts together; though they are written as two words, they function as a single semantic unit. In formal writing, you might see a half-space (zwnj) between 'mi' and 'konam', but in casual digital text, people often just use a space.

Imperative Form: To tell someone to listen, use 'Goosh kon' (singular) or 'Goosh konid' (plural/formal).

بیا اینجا و گوش کن.

(Come here and listen.)

Advanced users should note that 'Goosh Kardan' can take adverbs like با دقت (carefully), پنهانی (secretly), or مشتاقانه (eagerly). These adverbs usually precede the whole verb phrase. For example: او با دقت گوش کرد. If you are listening for a specific sound, you might use the preposition 'baraye' (for), but 'be' remains the standard for the object of the listening.

من همیشه به پادکست گوش می‌دهم.

(I always listen to podcasts.)

چرا به من گوش نمی‌کنی؟

(Why aren't you listening to me?)

Past Continuous: داشت گوش می‌کرد (He/She was listening). This shows an ongoing action in the past.

آنها داشتند به اخبار گوش می‌کردند.

(They were listening to the news.)

You will encounter گوش کردن in almost every facet of Iranian life. In a classroom, a teacher will frequently say بچه‌ها، گوش کنید! (Children, listen!). In a home, a parent might ask a child به حرفم گوش کردی؟ (Did you listen to what I said?). It is the standard verb used in media—radio hosts invite you to listen to their programs, and TV news anchors might ask you to listen to a report. In the digital age, buttons on Spotify or YouTube in the Persian interface are labeled with variations of this verb.

Social Contexts: In social gatherings, if someone is telling a long story, others might say 'Gush mikonim' (We are listening) to encourage the speaker.

همه داشتند با اشتیاق گوش می‌کردند.

(Everyone was listening eagerly.)

In the context of music, 'Goosh kardan' is the only verb used. Whether it's classical Persian music (Sonati) or modern pop, the act of appreciation is always 'listening'. In more formal or poetic settings, you might hear گوش فرا دادن, which is a more 'grand' way of saying to listen intently, often used in literature or high-level speeches. However, for 99% of daily interactions, 'Goosh kardan' or its variant 'Goosh dadan' is what you will hear on the streets of Tehran, Isfahan, or Shiraz.

Professional Use: Doctors ask patients to listen to their breathing: 'Be nafaset goosh kon'. Counselors listen to clients: 'Moshaver be harf-haye moshtari goosh mikonad'.

لطفاً به این نوار گوش کنید.

(Please listen to this recording.)

Furthermore, in the realm of technology, voice assistants (like a Persian-localized Siri or Google Assistant) use this verb to indicate they are 'listening' for a command. If you are learning Persian through songs, you are 'goosh kardan' to the lyrics. It is a verb that bridges the gap between simple sensory input and deep intellectual understanding.

من به صدای طبیعت گوش می‌دهم.

(I listen to the sound of nature.)

او همیشه به رادیو پیام گوش می‌کند.

(He always listens to Radio Payam.)

Public Announcements: In airports or train stations, announcements often begin with 'Lotfan tavajoh konid' (Please pay attention), but 'Goosh konid' is used in more informal public settings.

گوش کن، یک صدای عجیب می‌آید!

(Listen, a strange sound is coming!)

The most frequent mistake for English speakers is confusing گوش کردن (to listen) with شنیدن (to hear). In English, we sometimes use 'hear' when we mean 'listen', but in Persian, the distinction is sharper. If you say 'Man radio mishenavam', it sounds like you are just physically capable of hearing the noise, not that you are actively listening to the program. Use 'Goosh mikonam' for the activity.

Preposition Errors: Forgetting the 'be' (به). Many learners say 'Man musighi goosh mikonam'. This is grammatically incomplete. It must be 'Man *be* musighi goosh mikonam'.

Incorrect: من موسیقی گوش می‌کنم.
Correct: من به موسیقی گوش می‌کنم.

Another common error involves the conjugation of compound verbs. Some learners try to conjugate the 'Goosh' part or add prefixes to it. Remember: 'Goosh' is a noun and never changes. Only 'Kardan' (or 'Dadan') changes. For example, the future tense is گوش خواهم کرد, not خواهم گوش کرد. The 'will' (khaham) must come before the auxiliary verb part.

Word Order: The object (what you listen to) usually comes before the verb. 'Be harf-haye man (object) goosh kon (verb)'.

او به نصیحت‌های پدرش گوش نکرد.

(He didn't listen to his father's advice.)

Finally, learners often struggle with the 'obey' nuance. If you want to say 'He didn't obey the rules', using 'Goosh nakard' is possible but usually refers to verbal instructions. For abstract rules, رعایت کردن (to observe/follow) is better. Using 'Goosh kardan' for 'obeying' is most common in relationships (parent-child, teacher-student).

نباید به شایعات گوش کرد.

(One should not listen to rumors.)

آیا به حرف‌های من گوش می‌دهی؟

(Are you listening to my words?)

Spelling Note: In formal Persian, 'Goosh' and 'Kardan' are separate words. Don't join them as 'Gooshkardan'.

او به دقت به درس گوش می‌کرد.

(He was listening to the lesson carefully.)

While گوش کردن is the most common term, Persian offers a rich palette of synonyms for different contexts. Understanding these nuances will elevate your Persian from basic to sophisticated. The most important distinction is with شنیدن (to hear), but there are also more poetic and formal options.

شنیدن (Shenidan) vs. گوش کردن: Shenidan is the sensory perception. Goosh kardan is the mental focus. You hear a bang; you listen to a song.

صدایی شنیدم، پس به آن گوش کردم.

(I heard a sound, so I listened to it.)

In formal or literary Persian, you will encounter گوش فرا دادن (Goosh fara dadan). This implies a deep, respectful, or solemn listening. It is often used when listening to a great master, a religious text, or a beautiful poem. Another formal synonym is استماع کردن (Estema' kardan), which is Arabic in origin and used in legal, judicial, or very formal academic contexts (e.g., 'the court listened to the witness').

گوش سپردن (Goosh sepordan): Literally 'to entrust one's ear'. This is very poetic and implies being lost in the sound, like listening to a beloved's voice.

او به موسیقی کلاسیک گوش می‌سپارد.

(He loses himself listening to classical music.)

For 'eavesdropping', Persian uses استراق سمع کردن (Esteraq-e sam' kardan) in formal contexts, or the idiom گوش ایستادن (Goosh istadan) in more common speech. If you are 'paying attention' in a broader sense (not just auditory), use توجه کردن (Tavajoh kardan). Knowing when to switch from 'Goosh kardan' to 'Tavajoh kardan' is key to sounding natural.

لطفاً به نصایح پیران گوش فرا دهید.

(Please listen [solemnly] to the advice of the elders.)

او داشت گوش می‌ایستاد تا ببیند آنها چه می‌گویند.

(He was eavesdropping to see what they were saying.)

Preguntas frecuentes

10 preguntas

They both mean 'to listen'. 'Goosh kardan' is slightly more formal and standard in writing. 'Goosh dadan' is extremely common in spoken Persian and is used interchangeably in most daily situations.

Yes, in 99% of cases, if you are listening *to* something, you must use the preposition 'be'. For example, 'Be musighi goosh mikonam'. Without 'be', the sentence is grammatically incomplete.

Yes, especially in the context of parents, teachers, or bosses. 'Be harfam goosh kon' can mean 'Listen to what I'm saying' or 'Do what I tell you'.

You use the present continuous: 'Dāram goosh mikonam'. This implies you are in the act of listening right now.

No. 'Shenidan' is 'to hear' (passive). 'Goosh kardan' is 'to listen' (active). You can hear a noise without listening to it.

The formal versions are 'Estema' kardan' (legal/official) or 'Goosh fara dadan' (literary/respectful).

Only conjugate 'kardan'. I listened = Goosh kardam. You listened = Goosh kardi. He/She listened = Goosh kard.

You can use 'Goosh istadan' (literally 'to stand ear') or the more formal 'Esteraq-e sam' kardan'.

Yes, 'Goosh' is the noun for ear. It is the base of many compound words related to hearing.

If the attention is auditory, yes. If it's general attention (like looking at a map), 'Tavajoh kardan' is better.
