At the A1 level, you don't really need to use 'tasvib kardan' yourself. Instead, you focus on simple words like 'ghabul kardan' (to accept) or 'khob' (good/okay). However, if you see it in a simple headline, just remember it means 'The big bosses said YES to a plan.' It is a formal way of saying 'it is okay now.' You might see it in a simple sentence like 'The school approved the holiday.' Even at this level, knowing it's a 'formal yes' helps you understand news snippets.
At the A2 level, you start to see the difference between 'liking' something and 'approving' something. You learn that 'tasvib kardan' is used for official things. For example, if a teacher gives you a grade, they don't 'tasvib' it, but if the school board decides on a new rule for all students, they 'tasvib' it. You should recognize the past tense 'tasvib kard' (he/she/it approved) in short news stories or school announcements.
At the B1 level, you are expected to use 'tasvib kardan' in formal writing or discussions about society and politics. You should know that it is a compound verb and how to conjugate it in the past, present, and subjunctive. You understand that it requires a direct object with 'rā'. This is the stage where you distinguish it from 'ta'yid kardan' (confirm) and 'movāfeghat kardan' (agree). You can talk about a budget being approved or a proposal at work being passed.
At the B2 level, you use 'tasvib kardan' fluently in debates and essays. You understand the passive form 'tasvib shodan' and use it to sound more objective. You are aware of the noun 'tasvib' (approval) and the phrase 'be tasvib rasāndan' (to get something approved). You can discuss the process of how a bill becomes a law in a country, using this verb to describe the final stage of the legislative process.
At the C1 level, you understand the legal and historical weight of the word. You can use it to discuss international treaties, constitutional amendments, and complex corporate governance. You recognize synonyms like 'toushih kardan' (endorsement) and understand the subtle differences in power dynamics they imply. Your usage is precise, and you never confuse it with more general verbs of acceptance.
At the C2 level, 'tasvib kardan' is part of your professional vocabulary. You can analyze legal texts where the word appears and understand its implications for the validity of a contract or law. You might use it in academic papers or high-level political analysis. You are also aware of its etymological roots and how it fits into the broader landscape of Persian administrative and legal terminology inherited from Arabic.

تصویب کردن en 30 segundos

  • A formal Persian verb meaning to approve or ratify a law or proposal.
  • Used primarily in political, legal, and administrative contexts.
  • It is a compound verb: 'Tasvib' (approval) + 'Kardan' (to do).
  • Essential for understanding Persian news and formal documents.

The Persian compound verb تصویب کردن (tasvib kardan) is a cornerstone of formal, legal, and administrative Persian. At its core, it means 'to approve,' 'to ratify,' or 'to pass' a motion, law, or proposal. Unlike simpler verbs for liking or agreeing, this word carries the weight of official authority. When a legislative body like the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) votes on a bill and it becomes law, they have 'tasvib'ed it. It comes from the Arabic root 'S-W-B', which relates to being correct, hitting the mark, or being appropriate. Therefore, when you 'tasvib' something, you are officially designating it as the 'correct' or 'chosen' path forward.

Formal Governance
This is the primary term used in political news. Whether it is a budget, a treaty, or a local ordinance, if it has been officially sanctioned, this is the verb you will hear on BBC Persian or VOA Farsi.
Corporate Context
In a business meeting, when a board of directors approves a new strategy or a budget for the upcoming quarter, they use this verb to signify that the decision is now final and binding.

مجلس شورای اسلامی قانون جدید را تصویب کرد.
(The Islamic Consultative Assembly approved the new law.)

Understanding the nuance of this word requires looking at its components. 'Tasvib' is the act of approval, and 'kardan' is the ubiquitous 'to do' or 'to make' light verb in Persian. Together, they form a transitive verb that almost always takes a direct object—the thing being approved. You will rarely hear this in a casual setting like choosing a restaurant with friends; for that, you would use 'movāfeghat kardan' (to agree) or 'ghabul kardan' (to accept). Using 'tasvib kardan' in a casual setting would sound intentionally hyperbolic or humorous, as if your dinner choice required a parliamentary vote.

پیشنهاد شما در جلسه دیروز تصویب شد.
(Your proposal was approved in yesterday's meeting.)

In academic writing, this word is essential. When discussing historical treaties or the evolution of constitutional law, 'tasvib kardan' is the standard terminology. It reflects a level of linguistic sophistication (B1 and above) where the speaker moves beyond basic verbs to more specific, register-appropriate vocabulary. It is also important to note the passive form: 'tasvib shodan' (to be approved), which is used when the focus is on the document or law rather than the body that passed it.

International Relations
When a country joins an international convention, such as the Paris Agreement, the Persian news will state that the government has 'tasvib'ed the treaty.

Using تصویب کردن correctly requires an understanding of Persian compound verb syntax. As a transitive verb, it usually follows the pattern: [Subject] + [Object] + [را] + [تصویب کردن]. In formal Persian, the object marker 'rā' is crucial because the thing being approved is almost always a specific entity, such as 'this law' or 'the budget'.

دولت بودجه سال آینده را تصویب کرد.
(The government approved next year's budget.)

One of the most common ways you will encounter this verb is in the past tense, as news usually reports on things that have already happened. The past stem is 'tasvib kard' and the present stem is 'tasvib mikon-'. For example, if you want to ask if a plan is currently being approved, you would say: 'آیا طرح در حال تصویب شدن است؟' (Is the plan in the process of being approved?).

The Passive Voice
Because 'tasvib kardan' is often used in journalism, the passive form 'tasvib shodan' (to be approved) is extremely frequent. Example: 'لایحه در مجلس تصویب شد' (The bill was approved in the parliament).
The Causative/Formal Form
In very formal or archaic contexts, you might see 'به تصویب رساندن' (to bring to approval). This is a more active, causative way of saying 'to get something approved'. Example: 'مدیر پروژه طرح را به تصویب رساند' (The project manager got the plan approved).

ما باید این قطعنامه را تا پایان هفته تصویب کنیم.
(We must approve this resolution by the end of the week.)

When using this verb with modal verbs like 'must' (bāyad) or 'want' (khāstan), remember that the second part of the compound verb ('kardan') takes the subjunctive form ('konad', 'konim', etc.). This is a common hurdle for B1 learners. For instance, 'The committee wants to approve the plan' becomes 'کمیته می‌خواهد طرح را تصویب کند' (Komite mikhāhad tarh rā tasvib konad).

If you turn on a Persian-language news broadcast like IRINN (Iran), BBC Persian, or Iran International, you are guaranteed to hear تصویب کردن within the first fifteen minutes. It is the bread and butter of political reporting. It isn't just for laws, though. You'll hear it in any context involving a formal hierarchy or a bureaucratic process.

The Evening News (Akhbar)
News anchors use it to report on the activities of the 'Majlis' (Parliament) or the 'Shoraye Negahban' (Guardian Council). It sounds authoritative and final.
University Administration
In Iranian universities, a student's thesis topic must be 'tasvib'ed by the department's council before they can officially begin their research. You will hear students asking, 'آیا موضوع پایان‌نامه‌ات تصویب شد؟' (Was your thesis topic approved?).

شورای امنیت سازمان ملل قطعنامه جدیدی را تصویب کرد.
(The UN Security Council approved a new resolution.)

Beyond the news, you will encounter this word in official documents (Sannad) and contracts. If you are reading a rental agreement or a business contract in Iran, the clauses regarding the 'tasvib' of changes or amendments will use this verb. It implies a formal signing-off process. In the world of NGOs and international organizations, 'tasvib' is used for the ratification of treaties and conventions.

Even in the digital world, Persian-speaking UI/UX designers might use 'tasvib' for 'Approve' buttons in administrative dashboards, though 'Ta'yid' (Confirm) is more common for simple user actions. 'Tasvib' is reserved for higher-level administrative actions.

The most common mistake English speakers make with تصویب کردن is using it in a context that is too casual. Because 'approve' in English can mean anything from 'liking a photo' to 'passing a law,' learners often over-apply 'tasvib kardan'.

Mistake 1: Using it for Personal Opinions
If you like your friend's new car, do NOT say 'I tasvib your car.' This sounds like you are a government official who has legally sanctioned the vehicle. Instead, use 'پسندیدن' (pasandidan - to like/approve of) or 'خوشم آمد' (khosham āmad - I liked it).
Mistake 2: Confusing it with 'Ta'yid kardan'
'Ta'yid kardan' means to confirm or verify. If you are confirming a password or a flight reservation, use 'ta'yid'. 'Tasvib' is for the official adoption of a proposal or law. You 'ta'yid' a fact; you 'tasvib' a policy.

Incorrect: من استایل شما را تصویب می‌کنم.
(I approve your style - Sounds like a legal decree.)
Correct: من استایل شما را می‌پسندم.

Another mistake involves the preposition. In English, we 'approve OF' something (opinion) or 'approve' something (legal). In Persian, 'tasvib kardan' is purely transitive. You do not need a preposition like 'az' or 'be' before the object. Just use the object followed by 'rā'.

Finally, watch out for the difference between 'tasvib' (approval) and 'tasvir' (image/picture). They look similar to a beginner's eye but have completely different meanings. Confusing the two in a sentence about a law would result in saying 'The parliament pictured the law' instead of 'The parliament approved the law'.

To truly master تصویب کردن, you must know its synonyms and how they differ in register and context. Persian is rich in words for agreement and confirmation.

تأیید کردن (Ta'yid Kardan)
This means 'to confirm' or 'to verify'. It is used when you are checking if something is true or valid. A doctor confirms a diagnosis; a website confirms your email. It is less about 'law-making' and more about 'validating'.
پذیرفتن (Paziraf-tan)
This means 'to accept'. It is a very broad verb. You can accept a gift, accept an invitation, or accept a fact. It lacks the specific 'official/legislative' weight of 'tasvib'.
موافقت کردن (Movāfeghat Kardan)
This means 'to agree'. It is used when two parties reach a common understanding. 'I agree with you' is 'Man bā shomā movāfegham'. You wouldn't say 'I tasvib with you'.

Comparison:
1. قانون تصویب شد (The law was approved/ratified).
2. خبر تأیید شد (The news was confirmed).

In legal texts, you might also see توشیح کردن (toushih kardan), which specifically refers to the 'signing' or 'endorsement' of a document by a high official (like a king or president) after it has been passed by the parliament. While 'tasvib' is the collective act of the assembly, 'toushih' is the final individual act of signing it into effect.

How Formal Is It?

Dato curioso

The root 'S-W-B' is the same one used for 'Savaab' (divine reward/correct action). In essence, when you 'tasvib' something, you are declaring it to be the 'correct' or 'meritorious' choice.

Consejos

Use in Business

In a Persian business meeting, use 'tasvib kardan' to refer to the board's decisions. It shows you understand corporate etiquette.

Passive Voice

Master 'tasvib shodan'. It is often more common in news than the active form because the focus is on the law.

Related Nouns

Learn 'mosavvabe' (resolution) alongside the verb. They are almost always used together in legal texts.

Listen for the 'Rā'

When listening to news, notice how 'rā' follows the object before 'tasvib kard'. It helps you identify the object of the approval.

Thesis Defense

If you study in Iran, your 'propozāl' (proposal) must be 'tasvib'ed. This is the standard term used by professors.

The 'V' Rule

Remember: V is for Vote, V is for Validation, V is for Tas-VIB.

Avoid Repetition

In a long report, alternate between 'tasvib kardan' and 'be tasvib rasāndan' to sound more sophisticated.

Ratification

For international treaties, 'tasvib' is the exact equivalent of 'ratification'. Use it in diplomatic contexts.

Formal Agreement

Use it when a group makes a final decision. It implies that the discussion period is over.

Subjunctive Check

Remember 'tasvib konad' (not 'kard') after 'bāyad' or 'mikhāhad'.

Memorízalo

Mnemotecnia

Think of 'Tas-VEEB' as 'The VIP' (Very Important Paper) being approved. The 'V' in Tasvib is for the Vote that makes it official.

Generally, no. It sounds too formal. Use 'tasmim gereftan' (to decide) or 'ghabul kardan' (to accept) instead. If you use 'tasvib' for your lunch choice, people will think you are joking about being a politician.

Tasvib is the act of approving (the verb/noun). Mosavvabe is the result—the approved resolution or act itself.

Only when discussing formal topics like work projects, school rules, or the news. It is not used in casual 'chitchat' about hobbies or daily life.

Yes, if the object is specific (which it usually is). 'Ghanun rā tasvib kard' is correct.

The most direct opposite is 'rad kardan' (to reject) or 'tasvib nakardan' (to not approve).

You use the passive: 'Lāyehe tasvib shod'.

The word 'tasvib' is an Arabic verbal noun, but 'tasvib kardan' is a Persian compound verb.

No, you approve plans or laws. To approve of a person (like a candidate), you might use 'ta'yid-e salāhiyat' (confirming competence).

It means 'to get something approved'. It's a causative form used when someone works to make sure a plan passes.

Yes, because it moves beyond basic communication into specific formal and professional registers.
