When you want to say that something or someone makes another person worried, you use the Persian verb نگران کردن (negarân kardan). This literally translates to 'to make worried'.
It’s a really useful verb when you want to talk about how actions or situations affect someone's emotional state, specifically causing them to feel concern or anxiety.
For example, if a delay causes your friend to worry, you would use نگران کردن.
Think of it as the 'to cause worry' or 'to cause concern' verb in Persian.
When you want to express the idea of making someone worried or causing them anxiety, the verb نگران کردن is very useful. It's often used when an action or situation directly leads to someone else's concern. For example, if you hear bad news, that news could نگران کردن you or someone else.
It can also be used to describe someone intentionally making another person worry, though context usually clarifies this. Think of it as the causative form of worrying – you're causing the worry. This verb helps you articulate the impact something has on another person's emotional state, specifically regarding anxiety or concern.
§ Don't Confuse with Being Worried
Many English speakers learning Persian mistakenly use "نگران کردن" (negaaran kardan) when they mean "to be worried." Remember, "نگران کردن" specifically means *to make someone else worry* or *to cause worry*. If you want to say *you yourself are worried*, you should use "نگران بودن" (negaaran boodan).
- Incorrect
- من نگران میکنم. (Man negaaran mikonam.)
This literally translates to "I make worried," implying you are causing someone else to worry, not that you are worried yourself. It sounds unnatural in most contexts where you mean to express your own worry.
- Correct
- من نگران هستم. (Man negaaran hastam.) or من نگرانم. (Man negaaranam.)
من برای امتحان نگران هستم. (I am worried about the exam.)
§ Using the Correct Preposition
When you use "نگران کردن" to specify *who* or *what* is causing the worry, make sure to use the correct prepositions. Often, you will see it with "را" (raa) for direct objects, or implicitly indicating the object.
خبر بد او را نگران کرد. (The bad news made him/her worry.)
Here, "او را" specifies the person who was made to worry. If you omit "را" it can still be understood from context, but including it makes the sentence clearer and more grammatically sound, especially when the object is a person.
§ Overusing 'Kardan' with Already Causative Verbs
Some learners might try to add "کردن" (kardan) to words that already inherently carry a causative meaning of making someone worried. While "نگران کردن" is the correct and common way to form this verb, be mindful of overusing "kardan" with other adjectives or nouns to create causative verbs if there's a more direct or common alternative. For "نگران" (worried/anxious), adding "کردن" is standard practice to form the causative verb.
The key is to understand that "نگران" is an adjective (worried, anxious), and adding "کردن" (to do/make) turns it into a verb meaning "to make worried."
"نگران" (negaaran) - worried (adjective)
"نگران بودن" (negaaran boodan) - to be worried (verb)
"نگران کردن" (negaaran kardan) - to make someone worried (causative verb)
این خبر همه را نگران کرد. (This news made everyone worried.)
§ Context is King
Always consider the context to ensure you are using "نگران کردن" appropriately. It implies an action that causes worry, so it needs a subject that performs this action. If there's no clear agent making someone worried, then "نگران بودن" is likely the verb you need.
صدای بلند بچه ها را نگران کرد. (The loud noise made the children worried.)
In this example, "صدای بلند" (the loud noise) is the agent causing the worry. If the children simply *were worried* for no stated external reason, you'd use "بچه ها نگران بودند" (bachche haa negaaran boodand).
Alright, SubLearners! Today we're tackling a very practical verb in Persian: نگران کردن (negaran kardan). This one is all about causing someone to worry or feel anxious. Let's break it down.
§ What نگران کردن Means
- DEFINITION
- To make someone worry; to cause anxiety or concern.
This verb is a causative verb, meaning it makes someone else perform an action or experience a state. In this case, you are the one causing the worry in another person. Think of it as 'to worry-make' someone.
§ How to Use It
You'll use نگران کردن (negaran kardan) when you want to express that something or someone is the reason for another person's worry.
لطفاً با این حرفها نگرانم نکن. (Lotfan ba in harf-ha negaranam nakon.)
Translation hint: Please, don't make me worry with these words.
اخبار بد همیشه مردم را نگران میکند. (Akhbar-e bad hamishe mardom ra negaran mikonad.)
Translation hint: Bad news always makes people worry.

§ Similar Words and When to Use نگران کردن
Now, let's look at some related terms and when you'd pick نگران کردن (negaran kardan) over others. This is where it gets super practical!
- نگران بودن (negaran budan): This means 'to be worried.' It describes the state of being worried, not causing it.
- ترساندن (tarsandan): This means 'to frighten' or 'to scare.' While worry can involve fear, ترساندن is usually about a more sudden, intense feeling of fear, often associated with a direct threat. نگران کردن is more about ongoing anxiety or concern.
- اذیت کردن (aziyat kardan): This means 'to bother,' 'to annoy,' or 'to harass.' While being bothered can lead to worry, اذیت کردن is broader and can refer to any kind of discomfort or irritation, not necessarily anxiety.
من نگرانم. (Man negaranam.)
Translation hint: I am worried.
When to use نگران کردن vs نگران بودن: If you are talking about someone or something *causing* the worry, use نگران کردن. If you're talking about someone *experiencing* the worry, use نگران بودن.
صدای بلند بچه را ترساند. (Sedaye boland bache ra tarsand.)
Translation hint: The loud sound scared the child.
When to use نگران کردن vs ترساندن: Use نگران کردن for general anxiety, concern, or uneasiness over a situation or person's well-being. Use ترساندن for making someone feel sudden fear or terror.
صدای تلویزیون همسایه ها را اذیت می کرد. (Sedaye televizion hamsayeh-ha ra aziyat mikard.)
Translation hint: The TV sound was bothering the neighbors.
When to use نگران کردن vs اذیت کردن: If the primary effect is causing someone to feel uneasy or anxious about a situation, choose نگران کردن. If it's more about irritation or annoyance, اذیت کردن is better.
So, there you have it! نگران کردن (negaran kardan) is your go-to verb when you want to talk about making someone worried. Practice using it in different contexts, and you'll master it in no time. Keep up the great work!
