مستوي در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Means 'cooked' or 'done' for food.
- Indicates food is prepared properly by heat.
- Opposite of 'raw'.
- Used in everyday conversations about meals.
The Arabic word مستوي (mustawī) is an adjective that means 'cooked' or 'done' when referring to food. It specifically implies that something has been prepared properly through heating, reaching a state where it is ready to be eaten. Think of it as the opposite of 'raw' or 'undercooked'.
You'll commonly hear this word in everyday conversations about food preparation and dining. If someone is describing a meal they've cooked, or if you're ordering food, 'مستوي' is the go-to word to indicate that the food is cooked to perfection. It can also be used more broadly to describe something that is level or even, but its primary and most frequent usage in CEFR A2 contexts relates to cooked food.
- Usage Contexts
- Talking about cooking and meals: 'Did you cook the chicken?' 'Yes, it's well-cooked.' (نعم، إنه مستوي جيداً).
- Ordering food: 'I want my steak to be well-done.' (أريد شريحة اللحم الخاصة بي أن تكون مستوية جيداً).
- Describing the state of food: 'The rice is cooked perfectly.' (الأرز مستوي تماماً).
الخبز مستوي جيداً.

- Related Concepts
- 'خام' (khām) means 'raw', which is the direct opposite of 'مستوي' when talking about food.
- 'ناضج' (nāḍij) is another word for 'ripe' or 'mature', and can also mean 'cooked' or 'done', often implying a fuller, more developed state of being cooked.
السمك مستوي ولذيذ.
Using 'مستوي' (mustawī) in sentences is straightforward, especially when discussing food. The adjective typically follows the noun it describes, agreeing in gender and number. For food items, it indicates the state of being cooked.
- Basic Sentence Structure
- Noun + مستوي (or its variations)
For example, to say 'the chicken is cooked', you would say 'الدجاج مستوي' (ad-dajāj mustawī). If you're talking about multiple items, like 'the vegetables are cooked', you'd use the plural form if applicable or a form that agrees with the noun. However, for common food items, the singular adjective is often used.
اللحم مستوي جيداً.
- Adding Adverbs
- You can add adverbs like 'جيداً' (jayyidan - well) or 'تماماً' (tamāman - perfectly) to specify the degree of cooking.
Consider these examples:
Example 1: 'هل الأرز مستوي؟' (Hal al-aruzz mustawī?) - 'Is the rice cooked?' This is a common question when checking on a meal.
Example 2: 'أحب الخضروات مستوية.' (Uḥibbu al-khuḍrawāt mustawiyah.) - 'I like vegetables cooked.' Note the feminine ending '-ah' on 'مستوية' because 'خضروات' (vegetables) is a broken plural that often takes feminine singular agreement.
Example 3: 'هذه البيتزا مستوية تماماً.' (Hādhihi al-bītzā mustawiyah tamāman.) - 'This pizza is perfectly cooked.' Again, 'مستوية' agrees with 'بيتزا' (pizza), which is treated as feminine.
السمك لم يكن مستوي.
- Negation
- To negate it, you can use 'ليس' (laysa) or 'لم' (lam) before the verb or implied verb.
Example 4: 'الدجاج ليس مستوي.' (Ad-dajāj laysa mustawī.) - 'The chicken is not cooked.' This clearly indicates the food is undercooked.
Example 5: 'الخبز كان نصف مستوي.' (Al-khubz kāna niṣf mustawī.) - 'The bread was half-cooked.' This shows a more nuanced description.
You'll hear 'مستوي' (mustawī) in a multitude of everyday scenarios, primarily centered around food and its preparation. Its practicality makes it a staple in daily Arabic conversations.
- At Home
- When a family member is cooking, they might announce, 'الأكل مستوي!' (Al-akl mustawī!) - 'The food is ready/cooked!' Or, someone might ask, 'هل الرز مستوي؟' (Hal ar-ruzz mustawī?) - 'Is the rice cooked?' This is a very common domestic interaction.
الأرز مستوي.
- In Restaurants and Cafes
- When ordering, customers might specify how they want their food cooked. For instance, 'أريد الدجاج مستوي جيداً' (Urīdu ad-dajāj mustawī jayyidan) - 'I want the chicken well-done.' Waitstaff might also ask, 'كيف تحب شريحة اللحم؟ مستوية أم متوسطة؟' (Kayfa tuḥibbu sharīḥat al-laḥm? Mustawiyah am mutawassiṭah?) - 'How do you like your steak? Well-done or medium?'
Example: A waiter might say, 'هذه شريحة اللحم مستوية حسب طلبك.' (Hādhihi sharīḥat al-laḥm mustawiyah ḥasaba ṭalabik.) - 'This steak is cooked as you requested.'
شريحة اللحم مستوية.
- At the Market
- When buying meat or fish, discussions might touch upon how it will be cooked. A butcher might offer advice like, 'هذا النوع من السمك يكون مستوياً بشكل أفضل عند شويه.' (Hādhā an-nawʿ min as-samak yakūnu mustawiyan bi-shakl afḍal ʿinda shawyihi.) - ' This type of fish is best when grilled (cooked).' Although 'مستوياً' here is in the accusative case due to the verb 'يكون', the core meaning remains 'cooked'.
الخضار مستوية.
- Cooking Shows and Recipes
- In Arabic cooking shows or written recipes, you'll frequently encounter instructions like 'اطبخه حتى يصبح مستوياً' (Iṭbukh-hu ḥattā yuṣbiḥa mustawiyan) - 'Cook it until it becomes cooked/done.' Or a description of the final product: 'يجب أن يكون الكعك مستوياً من الداخل والخارج.' (Yajibu an yakūna al-kaʿk mustawiyan min ad-dākhil wal-khārij.) - 'The cake should be cooked inside and out.'
The word is intrinsically linked to the act of cooking and the desired outcome of edible, properly prepared food.
Learners of Arabic might make a few common mistakes when using 'مستوي' (mustawī), often related to gender agreement or confusing its primary meaning with secondary ones.
- 1. Gender Agreement Errors
- The most frequent error involves not adjusting the ending of 'مستوي' to agree with the gender of the noun it describes. While 'مستوي' is the masculine form, many food items, especially those that are treated as feminine singular (like 'بيتزا' - pizza, 'معكرونة' - pasta, or broken plurals like 'خضروات' - vegetables), require the feminine form 'مستوية' (mustawiyah).
Incorrect: 'الخضروات مستوي.' (Al-khuḍrawāt mustawī.)
Correct: 'الخضروات مستوية.' (Al-khuḍrawāt mustawiyah.)
Mistake: الخبز مستوي.
- 2. Confusing with 'Level' or 'Even'
- While 'مستوي' can indeed mean 'level' or 'even' (e.g., a level surface), its primary and most common usage, especially at the A2 CEFR level, is related to cooked food. Learners might mistakenly use it in contexts where 'level' is intended, or vice-versa, leading to confusion.
Example where 'level' is meant: 'الطاولة مستوية.' (Aṭ-ṭāwilah mustawiyah.) - 'The table is level.' Here, 'مستوية' correctly agrees with the feminine noun 'طاولة'.
Potential Confusion: Using 'مستوي' to describe something abstractly 'even' when a different word might be more appropriate, or assuming it *only* means 'cooked'.
Mistake: الطعام مستوي.
- 3. Overuse or Misapplication
- Sometimes learners might try to use 'مستوي' to describe something that is simply 'ready' or 'prepared' in a non-culinary sense, where other words would be more suitable. For example, saying 'التقرير مستوي' (Ar-ra'pōrt mustawī) - 'The report is cooked' - would be nonsensical. It should be 'جاهز' (jāhiz - ready).
Mistake: أنا مستوي.
While 'مستوي' (mustawī) is the most common word for 'cooked' or 'done' in Arabic, especially at the A2 level, there are other related terms and nuances to consider.
- 1. ناضج (Nāḍij)
- Meaning: Ripe, mature, cooked, done.
- Usage: 'ناضج' often implies a state of full development or ripeness, which can apply to fruits ('فاكهة ناضجة' - ripe fruit) as well as food being properly cooked. It can sometimes suggest a more thorough or complete state of cooking than 'مستوي', implying it's ready to eat and fully developed in flavor and texture.
- Example: 'هذه الطماطم ناضجة.' (Hādhihi aṭ-ṭamāṭim nāḍijah.) - 'This tomato is ripe.' vs. 'اللحم ناضج.' (Al-laḥm nāḍij.) - 'The meat is cooked/done.'
- Comparison: 'مستوي' focuses on the process of being heated to completion, while 'ناضج' can encompass both ripeness (for fruits) and the state of being fully cooked and ready.
الخبز مستوي.
- 2. مطبوخ (Maṭbūkh)
- Meaning: Cooked, prepared by cooking.
- Usage: This is the passive participle of the verb 'طبخ' (ṭabakha - to cook). It's a very direct translation of 'cooked'. It describes something that has undergone the process of cooking.
- Example: 'هذا الطبق مطبوخ جيداً.' (Hādhā aṭ-ṭabaq maṭbūkh jayyidan.) - 'This dish is cooked well.'
- Comparison: 'مطبوخ' is very similar to 'مستوي' when referring to food. 'مستوي' often implies the *state* of being cooked to perfection, while 'مطبوخ' simply states that the cooking process has occurred. Sometimes 'مستوي' carries a stronger connotation of being 'done' or 'ready to eat'.
اللحم مطبوخ.
- 3. جاهز (Jāhiz)
- Meaning: Ready, prepared.
- Usage: This word is broader than 'مستوي'. It means something is prepared and ready for use or consumption. While cooked food is often ready, 'جاهز' can apply to non-food items as well.
- Example: 'الطعام جاهز للأكل.' (Aṭ-ṭaʿām jāhiz lil-akl.) - 'The food is ready to eat.' This implies it is cooked and prepared.
- Comparison: 'جاهز' indicates readiness, which is often a consequence of being cooked ('مستوي' or 'مطبوخ'). You wouldn't say food is 'جاهز' if it's raw, but you could say it's 'مستوي' even if it's not yet served.
- 4. خام (Khām)
- Meaning: Raw, uncooked.
- Usage: This is the direct antonym of 'مستوي' when referring to food. It describes something that has not been cooked.
- Example: 'لا تأكل اللحم نيئاً، إنه خام.' (Lā taʾkul al-laḥm nayyiʾan, innahu khām.) - 'Don't eat raw meat, it is raw.' (Here 'نيئاً' is also used for raw, and 'خام' reinforces it).

نکته جالب
The root س-و-ي (s-w-y) is incredibly versatile. It gives us words like 'سواء' (sawā' - equal, same), 'سوى' (siwā - except, besides), and even the concept of 'equality'. The idea of 'completeness' or 'being done' in cooking is a natural extension of 'becoming level' or 'becoming whole'.

Gender Agreement of Adjectives
The adjective 'مستوي' must agree in gender with the noun it describes. For masculine nouns, it is 'مستوي'. For feminine nouns or broken plurals treated as feminine singular, it becomes 'مستوية'.

To negate an adjective describing a state, use 'ليس' before the adjective. Example: 'الطعام ليس مستوياً.' (The food is not cooked.)

اغلب اشتباه گرفته میشود با
While both words share the same root, 'مستوى' (mustawā) is a noun meaning 'level', 'standard', or 'degree'. 'مستوي' (mustawī) is an adjective meaning 'cooked' or 'level'. The pronunciation is similar but the context clarifies the meaning. For example, 'مستوى المعيشة' (standard of living) vs. 'طعام مستوي' (cooked food).
'ناضج' (nāḍij) can mean both 'ripe' (for fruits) and 'cooked/mature' for food. While often interchangeable with 'مستوي' for cooked food, 'ناضج' might imply a fuller, more developed state of readiness or ripeness, whereas 'مستوي' focuses more on the process of being heated to completion.
'مطبوخ' (maṭbūkh) is a very close synonym for 'مستوي' when referring to food. Both mean 'cooked'. 'مستوي' sometimes carries a stronger implication of being 'done' or 'perfectly cooked', while 'مطبوخ' simply states that the cooking process has occurred.
بهراحتی اشتباه گرفته میشود
Similar pronunciation and shared root.
'مستوي' (mustawī) is primarily an adjective meaning 'cooked' or 'level'. 'مستوى' (mustawā) is a noun meaning 'level', 'standard', or 'degree'. You cook food until it is 'مستوي', but you measure the 'مستوى' of something. Example: 'الطعام مستوي' (The food is cooked) vs. 'مستوى السكر' (The sugar level).
الطعام مستوي. مستوى السكر في الدم.
Both can mean 'cooked' or 'ready'.
'مستوي' (mustawī) specifically refers to food being cooked by heat and ready to eat. 'ناضج' (nāḍij) can mean 'ripe' (for fruits) or 'fully developed/cooked' for food. 'ناضج' often implies a state of maturity or completeness beyond just being heated. Example: 'الفاكهة ناضجة' (The fruit is ripe) vs. 'اللحم مستوي' (The meat is cooked). Both can apply to cooked food, but 'مستوي' is more direct for the cooking process itself.
الفاكهة ناضجة. اللحم مستوي.
Both mean 'cooked'.
'مستوي' (mustawī) emphasizes the state of being 'done' or 'perfectly cooked', implying readiness and proper preparation through heat. 'مطبوخ' (maṭbūkh) is the passive participle of 'طبخ' (to cook) and simply states that the cooking process has occurred. While very similar, 'مستوي' can sometimes imply a higher degree of perfection or completion. Example: 'الدجاج مطبوخ' (The chicken is cooked) vs. 'الدجاج مستوي جيداً' (The chicken is well-cooked).
الدجاج مطبوخ. الدجاج مستوي جيداً.
Cooked food is often ready to eat.
'مستوي' (mustawī) specifically means 'cooked' by heat. 'جاهز' (jāhiz) means 'ready' or 'prepared' and can apply to anything that is ready for use or consumption, not just food. Cooked food is usually 'جاهز', but something 'جاهز' isn't necessarily 'مستوي' (e.g., a prepared report is 'جاهز' but not 'مستوي'). Example: 'الطعام مستوي' (The food is cooked) vs. 'الطعام جاهز' (The food is ready).
الطعام مستوي. الطعام جاهز.
It's the direct opposite.
'مستوي' (mustawī) means 'cooked'. 'خام' (khām) means 'raw' or 'uncooked'. They are antonyms in the context of food preparation. Example: 'أفضل اللحم مستوياً، لا خاماً.' (I prefer meat cooked, not raw).
اللحم مستوي. اللحم خام.

نحوه استفاده
Very high, especially in contexts related to food.
-
Using 'مستوي' for a feminine noun without changing the ending.
→
Using 'مستوية' for feminine nouns or broken plurals.
The adjective must agree in gender with the noun. For example, 'الخضروات' (vegetables) is a broken plural often treated as feminine singular, so it requires 'مستوية', not 'مستوي'. Correct: 'الخضروات مستوية.' Incorrect: 'الخضروات مستوي.'
-
Confusing 'cooked' with 'level' in the wrong context.
→
Using 'مستوي' for cooked food and 'مستوٍ' (or 'مستوى' as a noun) for surfaces or abstract levels.
While the word has two meanings, context usually clarifies. Saying 'طعام مستوٍ' (cooked food) is correct, but if the context is about a flat surface, 'طعام مستوٍ' would be incorrect. The meaning 'level' is more common for inanimate objects or abstract concepts.
-
Not negating correctly.
→
Using 'غير مستوٍ' or 'لم يكن مستوياً'.
Simply saying 'لا مستوي' is not the standard way to negate. Use 'غير مستوٍ' (not cooked) or 'لم يكن مستوياً' (it was not cooked) for past negation. Example: 'الطعام غير مستوٍ.' (The food is not cooked.)
-
Using 'مستوي' for things that are 'ready' but not cooked.
→
Using 'جاهز' for readiness and 'مستوي' specifically for being cooked.
'جاهز' means 'ready' and can apply to many things (a report, a person). 'مستوي' specifically means cooked by heat. Saying 'التقرير مستوي' (The report is cooked) is incorrect; it should be 'التقرير جاهز' (The report is ready).
-
Incorrect pronunciation of the final syllable.
→
Pronouncing it as 'wee' (like in 'sweet').
The final part of 'مستوي' sounds like the English word 'wee'. Mispronouncing it can lead to confusion. Practice saying 'mus-ta-WEE' clearly.
نکات
Gender Agreement is Key
Remember that 'مستوي' changes form based on the noun it describes. Use 'مستوي' for masculine nouns and 'مستوية' for feminine nouns or broken plurals. This is crucial for accurate communication.
Context is Everything
While 'مستوي' most commonly means 'cooked', it can also mean 'level'. Pay attention to the surrounding words and the situation to determine the intended meaning. 'طعام مستوي' (cooked food) versus 'سطح مستوٍ' (level surface).
Master the 'wee' sound
The final syllable '-وي' in 'مستوي' is pronounced like 'wee' in English. Make sure to elongate this sound slightly for correct pronunciation. Practice saying 'mus-ta-WEE'.
Use with Adverbs for Detail
To be more specific, add adverbs like 'جيداً' (well) or 'تماماً' (perfectly) after 'مستوي'. This adds nuance to your description, such as 'مستوي جيداً' (well-cooked) or 'مستوي تماماً' (perfectly cooked).
Connect to 'Level'
Link the meaning of 'cooked' to the idea of being 'level' or 'even'. When food is cooked properly, it's often cooked evenly. This mnemonic can help you remember the word and its primary meaning.
Describe Your Meals
Actively use 'مستوي' when talking or writing about food. Describe the dishes you eat, whether they are 'مستوي', 'غير مستوٍ', or 'مستوي جيداً'. This active recall strengthens your memory.
Know Your Synonyms

ریشه کلمه
The word 'مستوي' (mustawī) originates from the Arabic root س-و-ي (s-w-y), which generally relates to being equal, level, straight, or complete. This root is fundamental to many Arabic words concerning balance, uniformity, and completion. The verb 'استوى' (istawā) means to become level, even, or to become fully developed or cooked. 'مستوي' is the active participle of this verb, indicating the state of having become so.
معنای اصلی: To become level, even, straight, or complete.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالBoth 'مستوي' (mustawī) and 'مطبوخ' (maṭbūkh) mean 'cooked'. They are often used interchangeably. However, 'مستوي' can sometimes imply a state of being 'done' or 'perfectly cooked', suggesting readiness and proper preparation, while 'مطبوخ' simply states that the cooking process has occurred. For example, 'الدجاج مستوي جيداً' (The chicken is well-cooked) emphasizes the quality, while 'الدجاج مطبوخ' (The chicken is cooked) is a more general statement.
Primarily, yes, 'مستوي' is used to describe food that is cooked. However, it also has a secondary meaning of 'level' or 'even', similar to the English word 'level'. For instance, 'طاولة مستوية' (ṭāwilah mustawiyah) means 'a level table'. Context is key to distinguishing between these two meanings.
This depends on the gender of the noun you are describing. 'مستوي' is used for masculine nouns (e.g., 'الدجاج مستوي' - the chicken is cooked). 'مستوية' is used for feminine nouns (e.g., 'البيتزا مستوية' - the pizza is cooked) and for broken plurals that are treated as feminine singular (e.g., 'الخضروات مستوية' - the vegetables are cooked).
The most common opposite of 'مستوي' when referring to food is 'خام' (khām) or 'نيء' (nayyi'), both meaning 'raw' or 'uncooked'. For example, 'أفضل اللحم مستوياً، لا خاماً.' (I prefer meat cooked, not raw).
Yes, 'مستوي' also means 'level' or 'even'. For example, 'الأرض مستوية' (al-arḍu mustawiyah - the ground is level) or 'سطح مستوٍ' (saṭḥ mustawin - a level surface). This meaning is derived from the same root that means 'to become equal' or 'to become level'.
'مستوي' is a neutral word and is very common in both everyday spoken Arabic and in written contexts like recipes or menus. It's not considered slang or overly formal.
'مستوي جيداً' (mustawī jayyidan) means 'well-cooked'. It's used to emphasize that the food has been cooked thoroughly and is ready to eat. It's a very common phrase when ordering food or describing a meal.
You can say 'غير مستوٍ' (ghayr mustawī) which literally means 'not cooked'. For example, 'الدجاج غير مستوٍ' (The chicken is undercooked). You might also hear phrases like 'لم يكن مستوياً' (it was not cooked).
'ناضج' (nāḍij) can mean 'ripe' (for fruits) or 'cooked/mature' for food. While often interchangeable for cooked food, 'ناضج' might imply a fuller, more developed state. For example, 'الفاكهة ناضجة' (The fruit is ripe) is common. For cooked food, 'ناضج' can suggest it's fully ready and has reached its optimal cooked state, similar to 'well-done'.
The noun forms related to 'مستوي' are 'استواء' (istiwā'), which means 'the state of being cooked' or 'levelness', and 'مستوى' (mustawā), which means 'level', 'standard', or 'degree'.

Gender Agreement is Key
Remember that 'مستوي' changes form based on the noun it describes. Use 'مستوي' for masculine nouns and 'مستوية' for feminine nouns or broken plurals. This is crucial for accurate communication.
Context is Everything
While 'مستوي' most commonly means 'cooked', it can also mean 'level'. Pay attention to the surrounding words and the situation to determine the intended meaning. 'طعام مستوي' (cooked food) versus 'سطح مستوٍ' (level surface).
Master the 'wee' sound
The final syllable '-وي' in 'مستوي' is pronounced like 'wee' in English. Make sure to elongate this sound slightly for correct pronunciation. Practice saying 'mus-ta-WEE'.
Use with Adverbs for Detail
