به علاوه
به علاوه en 30 secondes
- Used for mathematical addition (+).
- Acts as 'furthermore' or 'in addition' in sentences.
- More formal than the simple 'va' (and).
- Essential for structured arguments and lists.
The Persian phrase به علاوه (be alāve) serves as a vital additive conjunction and adverb in the Persian language. At its core, it functions similarly to the English words 'plus,' 'in addition,' or 'furthermore.' It is used to join two concepts, items, or clauses where the second part provides supplementary information to the first. In mathematical contexts, it is the literal word for the addition sign (+). In linguistic contexts, it builds a bridge between ideas, signaling to the listener that the speaker is not finished and has more value to add to the current topic. This phrase is essential for moving beyond simple sentences into complex, descriptive discourse.
- Grammatical Role
- Adverbial Conjunction used for addition.
دو به علاوه دو میشود چهار. (Two plus two equals four.)
Understanding this word requires recognizing its two-fold nature: the mathematical and the conversational. In a classroom, you use it to solve equations. In a coffee shop, you use it to list the reasons why you enjoyed a movie. It is versatile, appearing in both formal literature and daily slang without losing its primary meaning of 'adding more.'
- Semantic Range
- Covers addition, inclusion, and argumentative extension.
او مهربان است، به علاوه بسیار باهوش است. (He is kind; in addition, he is very smart.)
Historically, the word 'alāve' comes from Arabic, meaning 'increase' or 'addition,' and the Persian preposition 'be' (to/at) creates the compound. This combination is one of the most stable in the language, remaining unchanged for centuries. It is the go-to word for any learner who wants to sound more organized in their speech.
- Frequency
- Extremely high; found in almost every academic or descriptive text.
هزینه سفر به علاوه مالیات محاسبه شد. (The travel cost plus tax was calculated.)
کتاب را خواندم، به علاوه یادداشت برداری کردم. (I read the book; furthermore, I took notes.)
چای میخورم به علاوه کمی نبات. (I drink tea plus a little rock candy.)
Using به علاوه effectively requires understanding its placement. Unlike simple conjunctions like 'va' (and), 'be alāve' often carries more weight and is used to emphasize the second item. It can appear at the beginning of a sentence to link it to the previous one, or in the middle of a sentence to join two nouns or clauses.
- Sentence Initial
- Used to add a new point in an argument. 'Be alāve, in mozu mohem ast.' (In addition, this matter is important.)
به علاوه، ما باید به وقتشناسی اهمیت بدهیم. (Furthermore, we must value punctuality.)
When used in the middle of a sentence to join nouns, it acts as a mathematical operator. For example, 'A be alāve B.' This is very common in recipes, invoices, and technical manuals. It is more formal than 'va' and implies a distinct addition rather than just a list.
- Mid-Sentence
- Joins two nouns or independent clauses. 'Gheymat be alāve hazine-ye ersāl.' (Price plus shipping cost.)
او خسته بود، به علاوه گرسنه هم بود. (He was tired; additionally, he was also hungry.)
In formal writing, you might see 'be alāve-ye' (with an Ezafe). This is used when it directly precedes a noun phrase to mean 'in addition to [noun].' For example: 'Be alāve-ye inha...' (In addition to these...). This adds a layer of grammatical sophistication to your Persian.
- The Ezafe Variation
- 'Be alāve-ye' + Noun. 'Be alāve-ye barādarash...' (In addition to his brother...)
به علاوهِ این موارد، باید به بودجه هم توجه کرد. (In addition to these items, one must also consider the budget.)
حقوق پایه به علاوه پاداش. (Base salary plus bonus.)
ورزش کردن مفید است، به علاوه باعث شادی میشود. (Exercising is useful; moreover, it causes happiness.)
You will encounter به علاوه in a variety of settings, ranging from the highly academic to the strictly commercial. In an Iranian school, it is the first word a child learns in math class. Teachers will say, 'Five plus five,' using this phrase. Therefore, it is deeply ingrained in the logical processing of Persian speakers.
- Educational Context
- Mathematics, logic, and structured debates.
در کلاس ریاضی: ده به علاوه پنج چند میشود؟ (In math class: What is ten plus five?)
In the news and media, reporters use it to add details to a story. For instance, 'The earthquake caused damage to buildings, plus it cut off the electricity.' It provides a formal way to sequence events or consequences. It sounds more professional than the colloquial 'taze' or 'dige.'
- Media & News
- Reporting statistics, adding facts, and logical transitions.
گزارشگر: تورم افزایش یافته، به علاوه بیکاری هم بیشتر شده است. (Reporter: Inflation has increased; furthermore, unemployment has also risen.)
In shopping and commerce, you'll see it on receipts or hear it from shopkeepers. 'This shirt is 200,000 Tomans, plus the cost of the bag.' It is the standard way to handle transactions. Even in casual shopping, it maintains a level of clarity that prevents misunderstandings about price.
- Daily Commerce
- Totaling prices, adding items to an order, and service fees.
فروشنده: قیمت این گوشی ده میلیون به علاوه هزینه گارانتی است. (Seller: The price of this phone is 10 million plus the warranty fee.)
او زبان انگلیسی بلد است، به علاوه کمی فرانسه هم میداند. (He knows English; additionally, he knows a little French too.)
بلیط هواپیما به علاوه رزرو هتل. (Plane ticket plus hotel reservation.)
One of the most frequent errors for learners is confusing به علاوه with the simple conjunction 'va' (and). While they both connect things, 'be alāve' implies an extra layer or a secondary point. Using 'be alāve' where a simple 'va' is needed can make your speech sound overly clinical or like a math textbook.
- Over-Formalization
- Using it for simple lists like 'apples plus oranges' when 'apples and oranges' is more natural.
اشتباه: من سیب به علاوه پرتقال خریدم. (Mistake: I bought apples plus oranges - sounds like a math problem.)
Another mistake is the placement of the Ezafe. Learners often say 'be alāve' when they mean 'in addition to.' If you are followed by a noun, you must use 'be alāve-ye' or the full phrase 'علاوه بر' (alāve bar). Without the proper connection, the sentence feels disjointed and grammatically incomplete.
- Missing Ezafe
- Forgetting the '-e' sound when connecting to a specific noun phrase.
درست: به علاوهِ درس خواندن، باید استراحت کرد. (Correct: In addition to studying, one must rest.)
Finally, avoid using it as a replacement for 'also' (ham) in the middle of a verb phrase. You cannot say 'man be alāve raftam' to mean 'I also went.' 'Be alāve' connects thoughts or items, it doesn't modify the subject's action in that way. This is a common transfer error from English 'plus' usage.
- Word Order Errors
- Placing it between the subject and the verb incorrectly.
اشتباه: من به علاوه رفتم. (Mistake: I plus went.)
غذا خوشمزه بود، به علاوه ارزان هم بود. (The food was delicious; additionally, it was also cheap.)
اشتباه: او به علاوه کتاب خواند. (Mistake: He plus read a book.)
Persian has several words that mean 'in addition' or 'also,' and choosing the right one depends on the register and the specific nuance you want to convey. به علاوه is the most versatile, but others like 'hamchenin' or 'afzun bar in' are common in literature.
- همچنین (Hamchenin)
- Means 'also' or 'likewise.' It is more common in formal writing to link similar ideas.
او شاعر است؛ همچنین نقاش خوبی است. (He is a poet; likewise, he is a good painter.)
Another strong alternative is 'علاوه بر این' (alāve bar in). This is almost identical to 'be alāve' but is slightly more formal and is almost always used at the start of a sentence or clause to mean 'besides this' or 'furthermore.'
- علاوه بر این (Alāve bar in)
- More formal. Used for logical transitions in essays.
علاوه بر این، باید به محیط زیست توجه کرد. (Besides this, one must pay attention to the environment.)
For very informal speech, Iranians use 'تازه' (tāze). While it literally means 'fresh,' in a conversation it means 'and what's more' or 'plus.' It's what you'd use when gossiping or telling a story to a friend. 'Be alāve' would sound too stiff in that context.
- تازه (Tāze) - Informal
- Used in spoken Persian for 'and on top of that.'
دیر آمد، تازه طلبکار هم بود! (He came late, and on top of that, he was demanding!)
افزون بر دانش، او تجربه زیادی دارد. (In addition to knowledge, he has much experience.)
ضمناً (Zemnan) - By the way / additionally.

Questions fréquentes
10 questionsYes, it is considered standard and formal. In very informal speech, people might use 'tāze' or just 'va' (and), but 'be alāve' is perfectly acceptable in any context. It sounds educated and clear. You will see it in books and hear it on the news constantly.
Absolutely. It is the primary word for the plus sign (+). For example, '2 + 2' is read as 'do be alāve do'. It is the first way children learn the word. It is never replaced by other synonyms in a mathematical context.
'Va' is a simple 'and' used for basic lists. 'Be alāve' is 'plus' or 'furthermore'. It adds more weight to the second item. If you want to emphasize that something extra is being added, use 'be alāve'. If you are just listing items, 'va' is better.
If it is followed directly by a noun phrase to mean 'in addition to...', you should use the Ezafe: 'be alāve-ye'. If it is used as a standalone conjunction ('Furthermore, ...'), you do not use an Ezafe. This is a common point of confusion for students.
Yes, 'be alāve' is used in Dari Persian in Afghanistan as well. It is a standard Persian term across all dialects. While there might be local slang for 'also', 'be alāve' remains the formal and academic standard in Kabul and Herat too.
Yes, it often starts a sentence to link it to the previous one. In this case, it means 'Furthermore' or 'Additionally'. When you start a sentence with it, it's good practice to follow it with a comma in writing. It helps the reader transition to your next point.
'Alāve bar in' is a slightly more formal version of 'be alāve'. It literally means 'In addition to this'. You can use them interchangeably in most formal writing, but 'be alāve' is more common in spoken and mathematical contexts.
It is pronounced 'a-laa-ve'. The first 'a' is short (like 'cat'), the second 'ā' is long (like 'father'), and the final 'e' is short (like 'met'). Be careful not to make the final 'e' sound like 'ay' or 'ee'.
Yes, you can use it to connect two clauses with verbs. For example: 'He ate, plus he slept.' (U ghazā khord, be alāve khābid). However, it is more common to use it to connect nouns or to start a whole new sentence.
The opposite in a mathematical sense is 'menhā-ye' (minus). In a general sense, you might use 'be joz' (except for) or 'bedun-e' (without) to show subtraction or exclusion instead of addition.
