مستطیلی en 30 segundos
- Mostatili means 'rectangular' in Persian. It describes objects with four sides and right angles.
- It is formed by adding the suffix '-i' to 'mostatil' (rectangle).
- In sentences, it usually follows the noun it describes, linked by the Ezafe sound.
- Commonly used for furniture, screens, windows, and carpets in daily Persian conversation.
The Persian word مستطیلی (pronounced as 'mostatili') is a fundamental descriptive adjective used to characterize the geometric shape of an object. In English, it translates directly to rectangular or having the form of a rectangle. This word is constructed by taking the noun مستطیل (mostatil), which means 'rectangle', and appending the Persian suffix ی (known as the 'ye-ye nesbat'), which functions similarly to the English suffixes '-al', '-ic', or '-ar' to transform a noun into an adjective of relation or quality.
- Geometric Precision
- In technical and mathematical contexts, mostatili describes any four-sided polygon where opposite sides are parallel and equal, and all internal angles are right angles. Whether you are discussing a building's footprint, a smartphone screen, or a sheet of paper, this is the precise term to use.
- Everyday Application
- In daily life, Iranians use mostatili to describe common household items. Since many rugs, tables, and windows follow this shape, the word is ubiquitous in interior design and shopping. If you are looking for a specific type of dining table, you might specify that you want a miz-e mostatili.
- Visual Arts and Design
- In the world of Persian art, specifically in miniature painting or carpet weaving, the frame or 'hashiyeh' often takes a mostatili form. Understanding this word helps in describing the layout of traditional Persian gardens (Bagh), which frequently utilize rectangular plots and water channels.

When people use this word, they are often distinguishing an object from other common shapes like morabba-i (square), dayere-i (circular), or mosallasi (triangular). It is a neutral, descriptive term that carries no particular emotional weight, making it safe for all registers of speech, from formal architectural presentations to casual conversations about furniture. It is also important to note that because it ends in a 'ye' sound, when it follows a noun in an Ezafe construction, the transition is smooth: miz-e mostatili.

Using مستطیلی in a sentence requires an understanding of basic Persian syntax, specifically how adjectives interact with nouns and verbs. As an adjective, its primary role is to modify a noun to provide more detail about its physical appearance. In Persian, the adjective almost always follows the noun it modifies, connected by the Ezafe vowel (usually an '-e' or '-ye' sound).
- Attributive Usage (Noun + Adjective)
- This is the most common way to use the word. You mention the object first, add the Ezafe, and then add mostatili. For example, 'a rectangular room' becomes otaq-e mostatili. Note that if the noun ends in a vowel like 'h' (silent) or 'a', the Ezafe becomes 'ye', as in khaneh-ye mostatili (rectangular house).
- Predicative Usage (Subject + Verb)
- You can also use mostatili to describe a subject using a linking verb like 'to be' (budan). For example: In miz mostatili ast (This table is rectangular). In this structure, the word functions as a complement to the subject.
- Comparative and Superlative
- While it is rare to say something is 'more rectangular' than something else in English, in Persian, you can technically add -tar or -tarin. However, it is more common to use phrases like 'more like a rectangle' (bishtar shabih-e mostatil) if you are comparing shapes that aren't perfect rectangles.
In complex sentences, mostatili can be part of a larger noun phrase. For instance, 'The large rectangular wooden table' would be miz-e chubi-ye mostatili-ye bozorg. Notice how multiple adjectives are chained together using the Ezafe. The order of adjectives in Persian can be somewhat flexible, but shape often comes before size or after material.

When describing dimensions, mostatili is often paired with measurements. For example, 'A rectangular plot of land measuring 20 by 30 meters' would be zamini-ye mostatili be ab'ad-e bist dar si metr. This is particularly useful in real estate and construction contexts.
The word مستطیلی is not confined to textbooks; it is a word of the physical world. You will encounter it in various professional and social environments across the Persian-speaking world. Understanding the context helps in recognizing its utility.
- In the Bazaar and Shopping Malls
- If you are shopping for a carpet in the Grand Bazaar of Tehran, the seller will inevitably ask about the shape of your room. They might say, 'Do you want a farsh-e mostatili (rectangular carpet) or a gerd (round) one?' Similarly, when buying trays (sini), picture frames (ghab-e aks), or mirrors (ayeneh), this word is the standard way to specify the shape.
- In Engineering and Architecture
- Architects and civil engineers frequently use this term when discussing floor plans, column cross-sections, or window designs. In a construction site, a supervisor might tell a worker to pour concrete into a ghaleb-e mostatili (rectangular mold). It is a precise term that leaves no room for ambiguity in technical drawings.
- Digital Media and Technology
- With the rise of smartphones and tablets, mostatili is used to describe screen aspect ratios. Tech reviewers on YouTube or in Persian tech blogs often discuss the safhe-namayesh-e mostatili (rectangular display) and how it affects the ergonomics of the device.
Furthermore, in schools, children learn this word early in geometry class. It's one of the first shapes taught after the circle and square. Teachers will ask students to 'draw a rectangular shape' (yek shekl-e mostatili bekeshid). Therefore, it's a word that bridges the gap between childhood learning and professional adult life.
بشقابهای مستطیلی برای سرو کباب بسیار مناسب هستند.
In culinary contexts, Persian cuisine often involves presentation. You might hear a chef or a host describe a serving platter as dis-e mostatili. Because long skewers of kebab are a staple, rectangular platters are actually more common than round ones for certain dishes.
Even though مستطیلی is a relatively straightforward adjective, learners of Persian often make specific errors when integrating it into their speech. Recognizing these pitfalls early can significantly improve your fluency.
- Confusing Noun and Adjective
- The most common mistake is using the noun mostatil (rectangle) where the adjective mostatili (rectangular) is required. For example, saying 'miz-e mostatil' is grammatically incorrect in most contexts; it should be miz-e mostatili. Remember: the noun is the shape itself, the adjective is the quality of having that shape.
- Ezafe Omission
- Beginners often forget to use the Ezafe to link the noun and the adjective. Saying 'miz mostatili' sounds like 'table rectangular' without the 'of' or 'is' connection. Always ensure the 'e' or 'ye' sound is present: miz-e mostatili.
- Misuse with 'Square'
- While a square is mathematically a type of rectangle, in Persian (as in English), mostatili specifically implies that the sides are unequal. If you describe a square table as mostatili, a native speaker will be confused and might correct you with morabba-i.
Another subtle mistake involves the pronunciation of the 'o' sound. Some learners pronounce it like 'mu-statili' or 'ma-statili'. The correct pronunciation starts with a short 'o' sound, similar to the 'o' in 'most'. Practicing the word as mos-ta-ti-li will help you sound more natural.
To truly master Persian vocabulary, it is helpful to see how مستطیلی fits into the broader landscape of shape-related words. Persian has several ways to describe geometric forms, some more formal than others.
- Mostatili vs. Chahar-gush
- مستطیلی: The standard, modern, and precise word for rectangular.
چهارگوش: Literally 'four-cornered'. This is a more traditional or informal term. While it often refers to a square, it can be used generically for any rectangular shape. In modern usage, it's more common in literature or when describing simple objects like a handkerchief. - Mostatili vs. Morabba-i
- مستطیلی: Unequal adjacent sides.
مربعی: Square. All sides are equal. This is the most common word learners confuse with mostatili. If you aren't sure, look at the length! If it's elongated, it's mostatili. - Mostatili vs. Lozi
- مستطیلی: Right angles.
لوزی: Rhombus or diamond-shaped. This is important in Persian tile work (kashi-kari). A rectangular tile is kashi-ye mostatili, while a diamond one is kashi-ye lozi.
If you want to describe something that is 'somewhat' rectangular, you can use the phrase be shekl-e mostatil (in the shape of a rectangle). This is a slightly more wordy but very common alternative. For example, 'The park is shaped like a rectangle' would be Park be shekl-e mostatil ast.
پنجرههای قدیمی معمولاً مستطیلی ایستاده بودند، اما پنجرههای مدرن گاهی افقی هستند.
How Formal Is It?
Dato curioso
The root 't-w-l' also gives us the word 'tul' (length) in Persian. So, a rectangle is literally an 'elongated' shape compared to the 'perfect' square.
Guía de pronunciación
- Pronouncing 'mos' as 'mous' (rhyming with mouse).
- Omitting the final 'i' sound, making it just 'mostatil' (the noun).
- Stressing the first syllable instead of the last.
- Pronouncing 'ta' as 'tay'.
- Mixing it up with 'mostaqim' (straight).
Nivel de dificultad
Easy to recognize due to the distinct 'mostatil' root.
Requires correct spelling of the 't' (ط) and the 's' (س).
Pronunciation is melodic and follows standard patterns.
Clear sounds, though can be confused with other 'm' words initially.

Visual Learning

The 'Tall' Connection
Think of the root 'tul' (length) inside 'mostatili' to remember it's the 'long' shape.
Ending Sound
The 'i' at the end is like the 'y' in 'sunny' or 'funny'. It's a high, clear sound.
Memorízalo

The word 'mostatili' is the standard Persian adjective for 'rectangular'. It is essential for describing everyday objects like tables, phones, and rugs. Remember to use it after the noun with an Ezafe: 'miz-e mostatili'.
- Mostatili means 'rectangular' in Persian. It describes objects with four sides and right angles.
- It is formed by adding the suffix '-i' to 'mostatil' (rectangle).

The Suffix Rule
Adding 'i' to nouns to make adjectives is a very common pattern. Learn 'mostatil' -> 'mostatili' and you'll understand 'morabba' -> 'morabba-i' too!
The Ezafe Flow
When saying 'miz-e mostatili', let the 'e' sound flow quickly into the 'm' of 'mostatili' for a natural sound.
