Explicación طلبات in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't need to use the word 'طلبات' (talabaat) yet, but you should know its root word 'طلب' (talab). 'Talab' simply means someone owes you money. Imagine you gave your friend 10 Tomans for a sandwich. Now, you have a 'talab' of 10 Tomans from your friend. At this stage, just think of it as 'money I should get back'. You might hear people say 'Man talab daram' which means 'I am owed money'. The word 'talabaat' is just the very formal, plural version of this idea, used by big companies and banks. If you understand 'talab', you are on your way to understanding 'talabaat'. Focus on the basic idea: I give something now, I get money later.

At the A2 level, you start to see how 'طلبات' (talabaat) is used in more formal settings like a small business or an office. You might learn that 'talabaat' means 'receivables'. This is a fancy way of saying 'the list of people who owe us money'. If you work in a shop, you might have a notebook where you write down who hasn't paid yet. That notebook contains your 'talabaat'. You can practice simple sentences like 'Talabaat-e ma ziad ast' (Our receivables are a lot). This level is about recognizing that 'talabaat' is a professional word. It's the plural of 'talab', and it sounds much more official. When you see it in a newspaper, you know they are talking about money that a company or the government is waiting to receive.

At this level, you start to see 'talabaat' in economic news. For example, 'The government is paying its talabaat to the farmers'. You understand that 'talabaat' represents a financial right.

You understand the legal nuance—that 'talabaat' is not just a request, but a documented claim. You can participate in meetings where debt recovery is discussed and use the word with the correct verbs like 'tasviye kardan' (to settle) or 'moghaase kardan' (to offset/clear).

You can write formal legal notices or financial analyses using this term and its various derivatives. You are also aware of the historical and Arabic roots of the word and how that influences its formal register. You can differentiate between different types of 'talabaat', such as 'talabaat-e baa vasighe' (secured claims) and 'talabaat-e bedoone vasighe' (unsecured claims).

طلبات en 30 segundos

Formal term for money owed to you (receivables).
Used primarily in business, accounting, and legal contexts.
Plural of 'talab', signifying a collection of financial claims.
Crucial for understanding balance sheets and financial health in Persian.

The Persian word طلبات (pronounced 'talabaat') is a formal and technical term primarily used in the realms of accounting, finance, and law. At its core, it refers to receivables or the total amounts of money that are owed to an individual or a business entity by others. While the singular form طلب (talab) means a 'demand' or 'claim' for money owed, the plural form طلبات represents the collective pool of these outstanding debts. Understanding this word is crucial for anyone engaging in Persian business environments, as it appears on balance sheets, in legal contracts, and during debt recovery processes. It is important to note that while the word is derived from Arabic, it has been deeply integrated into Persian administrative and financial terminology for centuries.

Financial Context: In accounting, this refers specifically to 'Accounts Receivable'. It represents the credit extended by a business to its customers which has not yet been paid back. For example, if a company sells 100 laptops on credit, the value of those laptops becomes part of the company's طلبات.

Legal Context: In legal proceedings, طلبات refers to the claims a plaintiff might have against a defendant. It is the legal right to receive payment or assets based on a prior agreement or a court judgment.

حسابدار در حال بررسی لیست طلبات معوقه شرکت است تا بتواند گزارش مالی دقیقی ارائه دهد.

Translation: The accountant is reviewing the list of the company's overdue receivables to provide an accurate financial report.

The usage of this word often implies a formal relationship. You wouldn't typically use it when a friend owes you five dollars for coffee; in that case, you'd use the simpler word طلب. However, when a bank is discussing its outstanding loans or a wholesaler is listing what retailers owe, طلبات is the standard professional term. It carries a weight of formality and legal standing that simpler synonyms lack. Furthermore, the word is frequently paired with adjectives like مشکوک‌الوصول (doubtful of collection) or وصول‌نشده (uncollected), which are essential for precise financial communication.

مدیر عامل دستور داد تا تمام طلبات شرکت تا پایان سال مالی تسویه شوند.

Translation: The CEO ordered all of the company's receivables to be settled by the end of the fiscal year.

To use this word correctly, one must understand the flow of money. It is an asset from the perspective of the person who is owed, but it is a liability from the perspective of the person who owes. When you talk about your طلبات, you are talking about your wealth that is currently in someone else's hands. This is a common theme in Iranian business culture, where credit cycles can be long, and the management of these receivables is a major part of daily operations. The word evokes a sense of waiting and expectation, as it represents money that belongs to you but is not yet physically present in your account.

بانک مرکزی گزارشی درباره حجم طلبات غیرجاری بانک‌ها منتشر کرده است.

Translation: The Central Bank has published a report on the volume of banks' non-performing receivables.

Administrative Usage: In government bureaucracy, 'talabaat' can refer to the budget or funds that one department is entitled to receive from another. It signifies an official entitlement within the state's financial structure.

بسیاری از پیمانکاران به دلیل عدم وصول طلبات خود از دولت با مشکلات مالی روبرو هستند.

Translation: Many contractors are facing financial problems due to the non-collection of their receivables from the government.

آیا لیست کاملی از طلبات سال گذشته را در اختیار دارید؟

Translation: Do you have a complete list of last year's receivables at your disposal?

Using the word طلبات correctly requires placing it within financial or legal structures. It usually functions as the object of verbs like وصول کردن (to collect), تسویه کردن (to settle), or مطالبه کردن (to claim). Because it is a plural noun, the verbs and adjectives associated with it must reflect that plurality, although in Persian, non-human plurals often take singular verbs in informal speech—however, with a formal word like this, sticking to formal grammar is highly recommended.

Sentence Structure 1: Collection: When you are talking about getting the money back, use 'vosul' (collection). Example: 'The process of collecting receivables is slow.' (فرایند وصول طلبات کند است.)

شرکت ما برای وصول طلبات خود از وکلای مجرب استفاده می‌کند.

Translation: Our company uses experienced lawyers to collect its receivables.

In business reports, you will often see طلبات categorized by their age. This is known as 'aging of accounts receivable.' In Persian, this is often described using phrases like طلبات سنواتی (receivables from previous years) or طلبات جاری (current receivables). Using these modifiers allows for a very high level of professional precision. If you are writing a business email, you might say, 'We are writing regarding your outstanding receivables' (در رابطه با طلبات معوقه شما مکاتبه می‌کنیم).

Sentence Structure 2: Categorization: When defining the status of the debt, use adjectives like 'mo'avaghe' (overdue) or 'mashkuk-ol-vosul' (doubtful). Example: 'A large portion of the receivables is overdue.' (بخش بزرگی از طلبات معوقه است.)

متأسفانه بخشی از طلبات ما به عنوان طلبات مشکوک‌الوصول طبقه‌بندی شده‌اند.

Translation: Unfortunately, a portion of our receivables has been classified as doubtful accounts.

Another common usage is in the context of inheritance or liquidation. When a person passes away or a company goes bankrupt, the first step is to calculate the طلبات (what they were owed) and the بدهی‌ها (what they owed). This balancing act is central to legal liquidation. You might hear a lawyer say, 'We must first identify all the deceased's receivables' (ابتدا باید تمام طلبات متوفی را شناسایی کنیم).

او تمام طلبات خود را بخشید و پرونده را بست.

Translation: He forgave all his receivables and closed the case.

Finally, in the context of banking, طلبات is used to describe the loans that the bank has given out. The 'claims' the bank has on its borrowers are its primary assets. If a bank has too many 'non-performing' receivables (طلبات غیرجاری), it faces a liquidity crisis. This is a common topic in Iranian economic news, making this word essential for understanding current events in the region.

کاهش طلبات بانکی نشان‌دهنده بهبود وضعیت اقتصادی است.

Translation: The reduction of bank receivables indicates an improvement in the economic situation.

آیا این رقم شامل طلبات مالیاتی هم می‌شود؟

Translation: Does this figure also include tax receivables?

Sentence Structure 3: Inquiry: When asking about the status of money, use 'shamel shodan' (to include). Example: 'Does the report include all receivables?' (آیا گزارش شامل تمام طلبات می‌شود؟)

You are most likely to encounter طلبات in professional and institutional settings. It is not a word you would typically hear at a grocery store or in a casual conversation at a park. Instead, it lives in the air of corporate offices, law firms, and government agencies. If you are watching the news on channels like IRINN (Islamic Republic of Iran News Network) or reading the economy section of newspapers like Donya-e-Eqtesad, the word will appear frequently in discussions about the national budget, banking health, and private sector challenges.

In the Office: During a financial meeting, the CFO might say: 'Our receivables from the public sector have increased by 20% this quarter.' This highlights a liquidity concern using the word طلبات.

در جلسه هیئت مدیره، موضوع وصول طلبات از مشتریان خارجی مطرح شد.

Translation: In the board meeting, the issue of collecting receivables from foreign customers was raised.

Another common venue is the courtroom or a legal consultation. Lawyers use طلبات when drafting 'اظهارنامه' (legal notices) to demand payment. If someone has failed to pay a debt, the legal notice will formally list the طلبات and the legal consequences of further delay. It sounds much more serious and legally binding than saying 'the money you owe me.' It implies that the debt is documented and recognized by the law.

وکیل پرونده معتقد است که تمام طلبات موکلش قانونی و قابل وصول هستند.

Translation: The lawyer on the case believes that all of his client's receivables are legal and collectible.

In the context of the Iranian 'Bazaar', while many transactions are based on trust, the formal ledger books (دفتر حساب) will often use the term طلبات for long-term credit extended to other merchants. Even in this traditional setting, the word brings a level of formality to the transaction. If a merchant says, 'My receivables are tied up in the market' (طلباتم در بازار گیر کرده است), it means they have plenty of money on paper, but they are currently facing a cash flow problem because their debtors haven't paid yet.

دولت قول داده است که طلبات گندم‌کاران را تا هفته آینده پرداخت کند.

Translation: The government has promised to pay the wheat farmers' receivables by next week.

News & Media: Headlines often read: 'The growth of bank receivables has slowed down.' This is a key indicator of economic health often reported in the evening news.

اخبار اقتصادی امروز به بررسی وضعیت طلبات ارزی ایران پرداخت.

Translation: Today's economic news examined the status of Iran's foreign currency receivables.

آیا می‌دانستید که طلبات معوقه می‌تواند باعث ورشکستگی شرکت‌های کوچک شود؟

Translation: Did you know that overdue receivables can cause the bankruptcy of small companies?

One of the most common mistakes learners make with طلبات is confusing it with its singular form طلب or using it in the wrong register. While طلب can be used casually, طلبات is strictly professional. Using طلبات when talking to a friend about a small loan might sound unnaturally stiff or even sarcastic, as if you are treating a friendly favor like a corporate debt.

Mistake 1: Confusing with 'Requests': In some contexts, the Arabic root of the word can mean 'requests' or 'orders'. However, in modern Persian, 'talabaat' almost exclusively refers to financial receivables. For 'requests', use 'darkhaast-ha' (درخواست‌ها).

اشتباه: من طلبات زیادی از رئیسم دارم (به معنی درخواست).
درست: من درخواست‌های زیادی از رئیسم دارم.

Explanation: Use 'darkhaast' for requests, and 'talabaat' only for money owed.

Another mistake involves the direction of the debt. Learners sometimes use طلبات when they actually mean بدهی‌ها (debts/payables). Remember: طلبات is money coming to you; بدهی is money going away from you. If you tell an accountant 'My receivables are high' when you are actually in deep debt, you will provide a completely wrong picture of your financial health.

Mistake 2: Direction of Debt: Don't say 'talabaat' if you are the one who owes money. Use 'bedehi' (بدهی) for your own debts. 'Talabaat' is your asset.

اشتباه: من باید طلبات خودم را به بانک بپردازم.
درست: من باید بدهی‌های خودم را به بانک بپردازم.

Explanation: You pay your 'bedehi' (debts), you don't pay your 'talabaat' (receivables).

Finally, there is the confusion between طلبات and مطالبات. While they are very similar and often used interchangeably, مطالبات (motalebaat) is slightly more common in modern business Persian and news. Using طلبات isn't wrong, but in a very modern corporate setting, مطالبات might sound a bit more 'up-to-date'. However, in legal texts, طلبات remains a bedrock term. A mistake here is not about grammar, but about choosing the right 'flavor' of the word for the specific audience.

اشتباه: او برای طلبات خود از دوستش خجالت می‌کشد.
درست: او برای طلبش از دوستش خجالت می‌کشد.

Explanation: Use the singular 'talab' for personal, informal debts between friends.

اشتباه: طلبات این غذا خیلی زیاد است.
درست: تقاضا برای این غذا خیلی زیاد است.

Explanation: Do not use 'talabaat' for 'demand' in the sense of market demand; use 'taghaza'.

To truly master the vocabulary of Persian finance, you need to understand where طلبات fits among its peers. Several words share the same semantic space but differ in nuance, formality, or specific application. The most important of these is مطالبات (motalebaat), which is almost a direct synonym but carries a slightly more active tone, as if the money is being actively demanded or pursued.

طلبات vs. مطالبات: طلبات: More static, refers to the state of being owed. Common in accounting ledgers.
مطالبات: More dynamic, implies the act of claiming. Common in news and corporate reporting.

Another related word is دیون (doyun), which is the plural of deyn (debt). This is the exact opposite of طلبات. If talabaat are your assets, doyun are your liabilities. In legal documents, you will often see the phrase طلبات و دیون (receivables and debts) used to describe the entire financial standing of a person or company. Knowing both allows you to describe the full balance sheet.

طلبات vs. بدهی: طلبات: Money others owe you (Asset).
بدهی: Money you owe others (Liability).

تفاوت بین طلبات و بدهی‌ها، سرمایه خالص شرکت را نشان می‌دهد.

Translation: The difference between receivables and debts shows the net capital of the company.

For more casual or general contexts, you might use حقوق (hoghugh) in the sense of 'rights' or 'entitlements'. While hoghugh usually means salaries or legal rights, in a broad sense, your talabaat are part of your hoghugh-e maali (financial rights). However, hoghugh is too broad for accounting; stick to talabaat when the focus is specifically on outstanding payments.

او به دنبال راهی قانونی برای زنده کردن طلبات قدیمی خود است.

Translation: He is looking for a legal way to 'revive' (collect) his old receivables.

طلبات vs. دارایی: دارایی (Daraayi): Assets in general (cash, property, equipment).
طلبات: A specific type of asset consisting of money owed by others.

آیا تمام طلبات در ترازنامه به عنوان دارایی جاری ثبت شده‌اند؟

Translation: Have all the receivables been recorded as current assets on the balance sheet?

How Formal Is It?

Dato curioso

While the word 'Talab' can mean a simple desire or request in poetry (like 'Talab-e eshgh' - seeking love), in its plural form 'Talabaat', it almost always refers to cold, hard cash in a ledger.

Consejos

Broken Plurals

Remember that 'talabaat' follows the Arabic 'broken plural' pattern. This is very common for formal Persian words borrowed from Arabic. Practice other words like 'emtehanaat' (exams) or 'etela'aat' (information) to get used to the '-aat' ending.

Business Etiquette

When discussing 'talabaat' with a client, use a polite but firm tone. Use the word 'tasviye' (settlement) to suggest a professional resolution to the outstanding debt.

The Root T-L-B

Learning the root T-L-B will help you understand many other words. 'Danesh-talab' (seeker of knowledge), 'Matlab' (subject/matter), and 'Motalebe' (claim) all come from the same root.

Legal Precision

In a legal context, 'talabaat' implies that you have evidence of the debt. If the debt is just verbal, lawyers might use different terminology until it is proven.

The Long 'AA'

The 'aa' in 'talabaat' is a long back vowel. Make sure to open your mouth slightly more than you would for the English 'a' in 'cat'.

Talabaat vs. Motalebaat

If you are reading a newspaper, you will see 'motalebaat' 80% of the time. If you are reading a 50-year-old law book, you will see 'talabaat' 80% of the time. Both are correct.

Visualizing the Ledger

Visualize a ledger with two columns: 'Talabaat' (What I get) and 'Bedehi' (What I give). This visual contrast helps solidify the meaning.

Don't say 'Talabaat-am'

While 'talab-am' (my debt) is common, 'talabaat-am' sounds a bit clunky. Better to say 'talabaat-e man' or 'talabaat-e sherkat'.

Bazaar Credit

In the Iranian Bazaar, credit is often given without interest. 'Talabaat' in this context represent trust and long-term business relationships.

Accounting Software

If you ever use Persian accounting software like 'Sepidar' or 'Hooloo', look for the 'طلبات' or 'دریافتنی‌ها' section to find your receivables.

Memorízalo

Mnemotecnia

Think of 'Talabaat' as 'The List of Bills to Collect'. The 'T' stands for 'Total', and 'aat' is the plural. Total-Bills-Aat.

Asociación visual

Imagine a tall stack of unpaid invoices on a desk. Each invoice is a 'Talab', and the whole stack is 'Talabaat'.

Desafío

Try to find the word 'طلبات' or 'مطالبات' in a Persian news article about the economy. Write down the sentence and identify who owes whom.

Origen de la palabra

Derived from the Arabic root T-L-B (ط-ل-ب), which relates to seeking, asking, or demanding.

Significado original: The plural of 'Talab', meaning 'requests' or 'demands'.

Semitic (Arabic) root, integrated into Indo-European (Persian) grammar.

Contexto cultural

Be careful when discussing 'talabaat' with individuals; it can be a sensitive topic if someone is struggling with debt.

In English, 'receivables' sounds very corporate. In Persian, 'talabaat' can feel a bit more personal or legal depending on the context, but it is the closest equivalent.

Commercial Code of Iran (قانون تجارت ایران) - Frequently mentions the rights of creditors regarding 'talabaat'. Economic reports by the Central Bank of Iran regarding 'NPLs' (Non-Performing Loans). Legal textbooks on 'Civil Liability' and 'Obligations'.

Preguntas frecuentes

10 preguntas

'Talab' is the singular form meaning a single claim or the state of being owed money. 'Talabaat' is the formal plural form used in accounting to describe all receivables collectively. For example, you have a 'talab' from your brother, but a company has 'talabaat' from its customers.

While the Arabic root allows for this, in modern Persian, 'talabaat' is almost exclusively used for financial receivables. Using it for 'requests' (like asking for a day off) would be confusing. Use 'darkhaast' instead.

It is an asset. It represents money that belongs to you but is currently held by someone else. On a balance sheet, it is listed under 'Current Assets' (darayi-haye jari).

The most professional terms are 'طلبات' (talabaat) or 'مطالبات' (motalebaat). In formal accounting textbooks, you might also see 'حساب‌های دریافتنی' (hesaab-haye daryaftani).

It means 'doubtful accounts'. These are receivables that the company is not sure it will be able to collect, usually because the debtor is having financial trouble.

Rarely. It is a formal word. In daily life, people say 'talab-ha' or simply 'talab'. You will mostly hear 'talabaat' in office meetings, news reports, or legal discussions.

You would say: 'طلبات خود را وصول کردم' (Talabaat-e khod ra vosul kardam).

The direct opposite is 'بدهی‌ها' (bedehi-ha) or 'دیون' (doyun), which mean 'debts' or 'payables'.

Because it usually refers to a collection of different amounts owed by various people or for various transactions. It treats the total 'receivables' as a collective group.

No. While 'talab' can be spiritual (seeking truth), the plural 'talabaat' is strictly technical and financial.
