يُفْطِر در ۳۰ ثانیه
- A versatile verb meaning 'to eat breakfast' or 'to break a fast'.
- Derived from Form IV (afṭara), it is a high-frequency daily and religious term.
- Commonly used with the preposition 'ala' to specify the food eaten.
- Essential for discussing daily routines and cultural traditions like Ramadan.
The Arabic verb يُفْطِر (yufṭir) is a central term in the daily lives of Arabic speakers, carrying both mundane and deeply spiritual connotations. At its most basic level, it translates to "to eat breakfast" or "to break a fast." Linguistically, it is the third-person masculine singular imperfective form of the Form IV verb أَفْطَرَ (afṭara). The root ف-ط-ر (f-ṭ-r) fundamentally relates to the concept of splitting, cleaving, or bringing something into existence for the first time. When applied to food, it signifies the 'splitting' of a period of abstinence from eating.
- Daily Routine
- In a standard daily context, this verb describes the first meal of the day. Whether you are in a bustling cafe in Cairo or a quiet home in Amman, the act of starting the day with food is captured by this verb. It is used to describe the habitual action of eating in the morning.
يُفْطِرُ أَحْمَدُ مَعَ عَائِلَتِهِ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ.
Ahmed eats breakfast with his family every morning.
- Religious Significance
- During the holy month of Ramadan, يُفْطِر takes on a much more specific and momentous meaning. It refers to the exact moment at sunset when a fasting person ends their fast. This is a communal and celebratory event, often involving specific rituals like eating dates and drinking water before the main meal.
يُفْطِرُ الصَّائِمُ عِنْدَ سَمَاعِ أَذَانِ المَغْرِبِ.
The fasting person breaks his fast upon hearing the Maghrib call to prayer.
Understanding this word requires recognizing that it isn't just about the food itself, but the transition from a state of emptiness to a state of nourishment. It is the 'breaking' of the void. In modern Standard Arabic, it is the primary way to describe the morning meal, though regional dialects might use different variations or entirely different roots (like 'rayyaq' in the Gulf). However, يُفْطِر remains universally understood across the Arab world due to its presence in media, literature, and religious texts.
هَلْ تُفْطِرُ عَادَةً فِي المَنْزِلِ أَمْ فِي المَكْتَبِ؟
Do you usually eat breakfast at home or in the office?
- Grammatical Nuance
- As a Form IV verb, the initial 'ya' of the imperfective takes a damma (yu-), which is a hallmark of this verb form. This distinguishes it from Form I verbs which typically start with a fatha (ya-). Paying attention to this vowel is crucial for correct pronunciation and identification of the verb's patterns.
يُفْطِرُ الطُّيُورُ عَلَى الحُبُوبِ فِي الصَّبَاحِ البَاكِرِ.
The birds feed (break their fast) on seeds in the early morning.
يُفْطِرُ النَّاسُ فِي هَذَا المَطْعَمِ لِأَنَّ خُبْزَهُ طَازَجٌ.
People eat breakfast in this restaurant because its bread is fresh.
Using the verb يُفْطِر (yufṭir) correctly involves understanding its conjugation and the typical structures that accompany it. Since it is a Form IV verb, its root is ف-ط-ر and its past tense is أَفْطَرَ (afṭara). In the present tense (imperfective), the conjugation follows the standard pattern for Form IV, characterized by the 'u' sound on the prefix and the 'i' sound on the second-to-last root letter.
- The Preposition 'على' (On)
- When you want to say what someone is eating for breakfast or what they are breaking their fast with, you use the preposition 'على'. For example, 'He breaks his fast on dates' would be يُفْطِرُ عَلَى التَّمْرِ. This is a very common construction in both daily and religious contexts.
يُفْطِرُ الطَّالِبُ عَلَى شَطِيرَةٍ سَرِيعَةٍ قَبْلَ الذَّهَابِ إِلَى الجَامِعَةِ.
The student eats a quick sandwich for breakfast before going to the university.
- Temporal Adverbs
- This verb is naturally paired with time-related words. In a daily context, you will see فِي الصَّبَاحِ (in the morning) or بَاكِراً (early). In a Ramadan context, you will see عِنْدَ الغُرُوبِ (at sunset) or مَعَ الأَذَانِ (with the call to prayer).
مَتَى يُفْطِرُ المَسَافِرُ فِي رَمَضَانَ؟
When does the traveler break his fast in Ramadan?
The verb can also be used intransitively, meaning it doesn't always need an object. You can simply say "He is eating breakfast" without specifying what he is eating. This is common when the focus is on the act or the time of the meal rather than the menu.
يُفْطِرُ العُمَّالُ قَبْلَ بَدْءِ النَّوْبَةِ الصَّبَاحِيَّةِ.
The workers eat breakfast before starting the morning shift.
- Negation
- To negate the verb in the present tense, use لَا (laa). For example, هُوَ لَا يُفْطِرُ means "He does not eat breakfast." This is used to describe habits or specific medical/personal choices.
لَا يُفْطِرُ الطَّبِيبُ لِأَنَّهُ مَشْغُولٌ بِالعَمَلِيَّاتِ.
The doctor is not eating breakfast because he is busy with surgeries.
يُفْطِرُ الجَمِيعُ مَعاً فِي قَاعَةِ الطَّعَامِ.
Everyone eats breakfast together in the dining hall.
The word يُفْطِر is ubiquitous in Arabic-speaking societies, echoing through homes, restaurants, and media outlets. Its frequency peaks during the morning hours and, most notably, during the month of Ramadan. In the morning, you might hear it in a domestic setting where a parent is asking about their child's routine, or in a professional setting when colleagues are planning a morning meeting.
- Media and News
- On the news, especially during Ramadan, you will hear broadcasters announcing the times for breaking the fast across different cities. They might say, "In Cairo, the fasting person breaks his fast at..." using the verb يُفْطِر. It is also used in health segments discussing the importance of a nutritious breakfast.
تُعْلِنُ الإِذَاعَةُ مَتَى يُفْطِرُ سُكَّانُ المَدِينَةِ.
The radio announces when the city's residents break their fast.
- Social Gatherings
- When making plans, people often use this verb to suggest a morning meetup. "Let's eat breakfast at that new cafe" would involve a form of this verb. It carries a sense of social bonding, as breakfast is often a communal meal in many Arab cultures, featuring shared plates of hummus, foul, and labneh.
يُفْطِرُ الأَصْدِقَاءُ فِي المَقْهَى أَيَّامَ الجُمُعَةِ.
Friends eat breakfast at the cafe on Fridays.
In literature and poetry, يُفْطِر can be used metaphorically to describe the end of a long wait or the beginning of a new phase. However, its literal use remains dominant. You'll find it in cookbooks, restaurant menus (under the 'Breakfast' section usually labeled 'Futoor'), and in religious sermons discussing the ethics and rules of fasting.
يُفْطِرُ الفَلَّاحُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ.

- Travel Contexts
- In hotels across the Middle East, signs or staff will use this verb to inform guests about breakfast hours. "Guests eat breakfast from 7 to 10 AM" would be a standard piece of information provided to travelers.
أَيْنَ يُفْطِرُ نُزَلَاءُ الفُنْدُقِ؟

Learners of Arabic often encounter several pitfalls when using the verb يُفْطِر (yufṭir). These mistakes usually stem from confusing it with other forms of the same root or applying incorrect grammatical rules common to English speakers. Understanding these nuances is key to sounding more like a native speaker.
- Confusing Form I and Form IV
- The most common error is using Form I فَطَرَ (faṭara) instead of Form IV أَفْطَرَ (afṭara). While Form I relates to creating or splitting in a general sense, Form IV specifically means to break a fast or eat breakfast. In the present tense, this means saying يَفْطُر (yafṭur) instead of يُفْطِر (yufṭir). The 'u' sound at the beginning is essential.
خَطَأ: هُوَ يَفْطُرُ الآنَ. (Wrong vowel)
صَحِيح: هُوَ يُفْطِرُ الآنَ. (Correct: He is eating breakfast now.)
- Preposition Misuse
- English speakers often want to use 'for' or 'with' when describing what they eat. In Arabic, the standard preposition is عَلَى (on). Using 'li' (for) or 'ma'a' (with) in the same way can sound unnatural, although 'ma'a' is used for people you are eating with.
خَطَأ: يُفْطِرُ لِلْخُبْزِ. (Incorrect preposition)
صَحِيح: يُفْطِرُ عَلَى الخُبْزِ. (Correct: He eats bread for breakfast.)
Another mistake is confusing the verb يُفْطِر with the noun فُطُور (futoor). While they look similar, فُطُور is the name of the meal (breakfast), and يُفْطِر is the action. You cannot say "I breakfast bread," you must say "I eat (yufṭir) on bread" or "I eat (ya'kul) breakfast (futoor)."
يُفْطِرُ الصَّائِمُ عِنْدَ المَغْرِبِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ الإِفْطَارُ.
The fasting person breaks his fast at sunset, and this is the Iftar (meal).
- Subject-Verb Agreement
- Remember that if the verb comes first in a sentence with a plural subject, the verb remains in the singular form. For example, 'The students eat breakfast' is يُفْطِرُ الطُّلَّابُ, not يُفْطِرُونَ الطُّلَّابُ. This is a general rule in Arabic but often forgotten with common daily verbs.
يُفْطِرُ الضُّيُوفُ فِي غُرْفَةِ الطَّعَامِ.
The guests eat breakfast in the dining room. (Singular verb used for plural subject following it).
لَا يُفْطِرُ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ.
No one eats breakfast before the prayer.
While يُفْطِر is the standard term for eating breakfast or breaking a fast, Arabic offers several alternatives depending on the dialect, the formality of the situation, and the specific nuance you wish to convey. Comparing these can help you choose the most appropriate word for your context.
- يَتَنَاوَلُ الفُطُور (Yatanawal al-futoor)
- This phrase literally means "to take breakfast." It is slightly more formal and is often used in writing or polite conversation. It is a compound structure (verb + noun) whereas يُفْطِر is a single verb. It is very common in modern media.
يَتَنَاوَلُ المَلِكُ فُطُورَهُ فِي الحَدِيقَةِ.
The King takes his breakfast in the garden.
- يَتَرَيَّق (Yitrayyaq) - Gulf Dialect
- In Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf countries, the verb يَتَرَيَّق is used frequently in daily speech. It comes from the word رِيق (saliva), implying the first food to touch the mouth's moisture. It is informal and specific to that region.
تَعَالَ نِتَرَيَّق بَرَّه اليُوم.
Come, let's eat breakfast outside today. (Gulf Dialect)
Another word related to the morning is يُصَبِّح (yusabbiḥ), which means to greet someone in the morning or to do something in the morning. However, it does not specifically refer to eating. For breaking a fast specifically during a non-Ramadan voluntary fast, يُفْطِر is still the term used.
- يَكْسِرُ الصِّيَام (Yaksiru al-siyaam)
- Literally "to break the fasting." This is a more descriptive phrase often used in health or religious discussions to explain the act of ending a fast. It is less common as a daily term for breakfast but very clear in its meaning.
يَكْسِرُ الرِّيَاضِيُّ صِيَامَهُ بَعْدَ التَّدْرِيبِ.
The athlete breaks his fast after training.
يُفْطِرُ النَّاسُ فِي مِصْرَ عَلَى الفُولِ وَالطَّعْمِيَّةِ.
People in Egypt eat foul and falafel for breakfast.
چقدر رسمی است؟
نکته جالب
The same root gives us 'Fitra', which in Islamic philosophy refers to the pure, natural state in which all humans are born. Breaking the fast is seen as returning to this natural state of needing sustinence.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing the initial 'yu' as 'ya' (yafṭur), which changes the verb form.
- Pronouncing the 'ṭ' as a regular 't' (yuftir), losing the Arabic emphatic quality.
- Neglecting the shadda if it were present (though not in this form), or adding extra length to the 'i'.
- Confusing the 'f' sound with a 'v' sound.
- Swapping the 'i' for an 'a' in the final syllable (yufṭar).

Sounds like Form I 'yafṭur'.
Yufṭir (Form IV) is specifically for meals/fast-breaking; Yafṭur (Form I) is for general splitting/creating.
يُفْطِرُ الصَّائِمُ (The faster breaks his fast) vs فَطَرَ اللهُ الكَوْنَ (God created the universe).
Both involve eating during Ramadan.
Yufṭir is breaking the fast at sunset; Yatasahhar is the pre-dawn meal before starting the fast.
يُفْطِرُ عِنْدَ المَغْرِبِ وَيَتَسَحَّرُ عِنْدَ الفَجْرِ.
Both are daily meal verbs.
Yufṭir is for breakfast (morning); Yataghadda is for lunch (afternoon).
يُفْطِرُ فِي السَّابِعَةِ وَيَتَغَدَّى فِي الثَّانِيَةِ.
Both are daily meal verbs.
Yufṭir is for breakfast; Yata'ashsha is for dinner (evening).
يُفْطِرُ صَبَاحاً وَيَتَعَشَّى لَيْلاً.
General vs specific.
Ya'kul is just 'to eat' anything at any time. Yufṭir is specific to the first meal of the day.
هُوَ يَأْكُلُ تُفَّاحَةً (He is eating an apple) vs هُوَ يُفْطِرُ الآنَ (He is eating breakfast now).

نحوه استفاده
Extremely high in daily life and religious contexts.
-
Saying 'yafṭur' instead of 'yufṭir'.
→
يُفْطِر (yufṭir)
Form IV verbs in the present tense must start with the 'u' sound (damma). Using 'a' (fatha) is a mistake in the verb form.
-
Using 'li' (for) to describe the food.
→
يُفْطِرُ عَلَى (yufṭiru 'ala)
Arabic uses the preposition 'ala' (on) to specify what you are eating for breakfast or breaking your fast with.
-
Using the noun 'futoor' as a verb.
→
يُفْطِرُ (yufṭiru)
In English, 'breakfast' can be a noun or a verb. In Arabic, they are separate. Use the verb for the action.
-
Pluralizing the verb when it comes before a plural subject.
→
يُفْطِرُ الطُّلَّابُ (yufṭiru al-tullab)
If the verb starts the sentence, it stays in the singular form even if the subject is plural.
-
Confusing 'yufṭir' (break fast) with 'yufṭar' (is broken).
→
يُفْطِر (yufṭir)
The active voice uses 'i' (yufṭir), while 'yufṭar' with an 'a' is the passive voice, which is rarely used in this context.
نکات
Master the Form IV Prefix
Always remember the 'u' sound at the beginning. If you say 'yafṭir' with an 'a', it sounds like a different verb form. Practice saying 'u-ufṭiru', 'tu-tufṭiru', 'yu-yufṭiru'.
Ramadan Timing
In Ramadan, 'yufṭir' is a very time-sensitive verb. It happens exactly at sunset. Knowing this helps you understand why people are so focused on the clock when using this word.
Pair with Food
To sound like a pro, learn common breakfast foods to use with 'yufṭir'. Words like 'bayd' (eggs), 'jubn' (cheese), and 'zaytoon' (olives) are perfect partners.
The Emphatic T
Don't let the 'ṭ' sound like a normal English 't'. Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth to get that deep, hollow Arabic sound.
Root Recognition
Recognizing the root F-T-R will help you understand words like 'Eid al-Fitr' and 'Fitra'. They all share the concept of 'opening' or 'breaking'.
Invitations
Using 'yufṭir' is a great way to make plans. 'Hal tufṭir ma'i?' (Will you eat breakfast with me?) is a friendly and common way to start a day with someone.
Listen for Prepositions
When you hear 'yufṭir', wait for the word 'ala'. It will tell you exactly what the person is eating, which is great for building your food vocabulary.
Regional Awareness
Even if you learn 'yufṭir', be prepared to hear 'yitrayyaq' if you go to Dubai or Kuwait. Knowing both makes you a more versatile learner.
The 'Break' Link
Link 'yufṭir' to the English 'break-fast'. The Arabic root also means to 'break' or 'split'. This semantic link makes it much easier to remember.
Workplace Arabic
In many Arab offices, breakfast is a shared activity. You might hear 'Yalla nufṭir' around 9 or 10 AM. It's a key part of office bonding.
حفظ کنید
روش یادسپاری
Think of the 'F-T-R' as 'First To Refresh'. In the morning, you are the 'First To Refresh' your body with food.
تداعی تصویری
Imagine a piece of flatbread being 'split' (the root meaning) in half to be shared in the morning.

چالش
Try to use 'yufṭir' in three different sentences today: one about yourself, one about a friend, and one about a family member's morning routine.
ریشه کلمه
The word comes from the Arabic root F-T-R (ف-ط-ر), which fundamentally means to split, cleave, or break open. This root is ancient and shared across Semitic languages.
معنای اصلی: The original meaning of 'splitting' led to the concept of 'originating' or 'creating' (splitting the void), and also 'breaking' a period of silence or abstinence from food.
Afroasiatic, Semitic, Central Semitic, Arabic.بافت فرهنگی
When discussing 'yufṭir' in Ramadan, be mindful that it is a sacred time. Avoid asking people why they are *not* fasting ('mufṭir') unless you know them well, as it can be a personal or medical matter.
English speakers often use 'breakfast' as both a noun and a verb ('to breakfast'), but in Arabic, 'yufṭir' is the dedicated verb that specifically handles the action, while 'futoor' is the noun.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالNo, 'yufṭir' is strictly for breakfast or breaking a fast. For lunch, you should use the verb 'yataghadda' (يَتَغَدَّى).
'Yufṭir' is the verb (the action of eating), while 'Iftar' is the noun (the meal itself). For example: 'He is breaking his fast (yufṭir) at the Iftar table'.
Yes, it is understood everywhere, though some dialects have their own preferred local words like 'yitrayyaq' in the Gulf or 'yitarawwaq' in the Levant.
You say 'Ana ufṭiru' (أَنَا أُفْطِرُ). Remember to change the prefix 'yu' to 'u' for the first person.
Not at all. In daily life, it simply means 'to eat breakfast' on a normal Tuesday morning. However, in a religious context, it specifically refers to breaking the fast.
In Arabic, verbs in Form IV (like afṭara) always start with a damma (u sound) on the prefix in the present tense. This is a rule of the verb pattern.
The most common and natural preposition is 'ala' (عَلَى), which means 'on'. For example: 'Yufṭir ala al-khubz' (He eats breakfast on bread).
Yes, you can use it to describe an animal eating its first meal of the day, though 'ya'kul' is also very common.
Yes, for a female, you say 'tufṭiru' (تُفْطِرُ). For example: 'Layla tufṭiru fi al-ghurfa' (Layla is eating breakfast in the room).
It is neutral and standard. It is used in newspapers, on TV, and in daily speech. It is perfectly appropriate for all situations.
