Explication بی‌صبری in your Level:

At the A1 level, you can think of 'bi-sabri' as the opposite of being patient. Imagine you are waiting for a friend who is late. You look at your watch every minute. That feeling is 'bi-sabri'. In English, we say 'impatience'. You might use it in very simple sentences like 'I have impatience' (man bi-sabri daram), although it's more common to use the adjective 'bi-sabr' (I am impatient). At this stage, just remember that 'bi' means 'not' or 'without', and 'sabr' means 'waiting' or 'patience'. So, 'bi-sabr' is 'without patience'. It's a useful word for expressing basic feelings like being hungry and waiting for food, or being excited for a party and wanting it to start now. You will mostly hear it in family settings or from teachers. It is a building block for talking about your emotions in Persian. Don't worry about the complex grammar yet; just focus on the meaning: 'I want it now!'

At the A2 level, you start to use 'bi-sabri' in slightly more complex ways. You can use the phrase 'ba bi-sabri' which means 'with impatience'. This is like an adverb. For example, 'I am waiting with impatience' (man ba bi-sabri montazeram). You can also use it to describe other people. If your brother is jumping around because he wants to go to the park, you can say 'He has bi-sabri'. You should also learn the verb 'bi-sabri kardan', which means 'to act impatiently'. If someone is complaining about a slow computer, you can say 'bi-sabri nakon' (don't be impatient). This level is about moving from just knowing the word to using it in short, practical sentences. You might also notice it in simple stories or children's books where a character is waiting for something exciting. It's a very common word in daily life, especially in busy places like shops or bus stops.

At the B1 level, you should understand 'bi-sabri' as a noun that represents a specific state of mind. You can use it to talk about more abstract situations, not just waiting for a physical object. For instance, you might talk about the 'bi-sabri' of the public for political changes, or the 'bi-sabri' of a student to finish their degree. You should be able to distinguish between 'bi-sabri' and 'ajaleh' (haste). Remember: 'ajaleh' is when you are physically rushing because you are late, while 'bi-sabri' is the internal feeling of not wanting to wait. You can also start using intensifiers like 'bi-sabri-ye ziad' (much impatience) or 'bi-sabri-ye tamam' (total impatience). At this level, you should be comfortable using the word in both spoken and written Persian to describe a range of emotions from excitement to mild frustration. You'll hear it in movies and see it in news articles about social trends.

At the B2 level, you can use 'bi-sabri' to discuss personality traits and social issues. You might write an essay about how technology has increased 'bi-sabri' in the modern world. You should understand the cultural weight of the word; since 'sabr' (patience) is a highly valued virtue in Iranian culture, 'bi-sabri' can sometimes carry a negative connotation of being immature or lacking self-control. You can use the word in more complex grammatical structures, such as using it as the subject of a sentence: 'Bi-sabri-ye u ba'es-e moshkelat shod' (His impatience caused problems). You should also be familiar with its formal synonym 'nashakibayi' and know when to use each. While 'bi-sabri' is perfect for everyday conversation and standard writing, 'nashakibayi' is better for academic or very formal contexts. You should also be able to use the word in the context of 'Ta'arof', where showing impatience can sometimes be seen as a breach of etiquette.

At the C1 level, you are exploring the literary and psychological depths of 'bi-sabri'. You will encounter this word in classical and modern Persian poetry, where it often describes the 'restlessness' of the soul or the 'unbearable waiting' of a lover. You should be able to appreciate the nuance between 'bi-sabri' and 'bi-gharari' (restlessness). While 'bi-sabri' is often focused on a specific goal or event, 'bi-gharari' is a more pervasive, often physical state of being unable to find peace. You can use 'bi-sabri' in sophisticated arguments about human nature or social psychology. You might analyze how 'bi-sabri' is portrayed in the works of great Iranian authors like Sadegh Hedayat or Bozorg Alavi. At this level, your usage should be precise, taking into account the register of the conversation and the subtle emotional overtones you wish to convey. You should also be comfortable with idiomatic expressions and proverbs that involve the concept of patience and its absence.

At the C2 level, you have a masterly command of 'bi-sabri' and its entire semantic field. You can engage in deep philosophical discussions about the concept of time and how 'bi-sabri' reflects our existential relationship with the future. You understand the historical evolution of the word and its roots in both Persian and Arabic linguistic traditions. You can use the word to critique complex social phenomena, such as the impact of 'instant gratification' on Iranian youth culture, using high-level vocabulary and complex syntax. You are able to interpret the use of 'bi-sabri' in the most challenging classical texts, understanding how it functions as a metaphor for spiritual longing or human limitation. Your use of the word is indistinguishable from that of an educated native speaker, including the ability to use it with irony, humor, or profound gravity. You can also navigate the most formal diplomatic or academic settings where the choice between 'bi-sabri' and its synonyms can have significant rhetorical impact.

بی‌صبری en 30 secondes

Bi-sabri is the Persian noun for impatience, formed from 'bi' (without) and 'sabr' (patience).
It is used to describe both positive excitement and negative frustration during waiting periods.
Commonly paired with 'kardan' (to act) or used as 'ba bi-sabri' (with impatience).
In Iranian culture, it is often contrasted with the highly valued virtue of patience.

The Persian word بی‌صبری (bi-sabri) is a profound compound noun that captures the psychological and emotional state of being unable to wait. To understand this word, one must first look at its components: بی (bi), a prefix meaning 'without', and صبر (sabr), an Arabic-derived noun meaning 'patience'. When combined with the nominalizing suffix ی (i), it creates a concept that isn't just a lack of patience, but a palpable sense of restlessness and urgency. In Iranian culture, where 'Sabr' (patience) is often lauded as a supreme virtue—frequently mentioned in classical poetry and religious texts—بی‌صبری is often seen as a human frailty, yet one that is deeply relatable in our modern, fast-paced world.

Emotional Context: It describes the twitching foot in a long queue, the frequent checking of a phone for a reply, or the burning desire to see a loved one after years of separation.

کودک با بی‌صبری منتظر باز کردن کادوهای تولدش بود.

The child was waiting with impatience to open his birthday gifts.

While 'Sabr' is the art of enduring hardship with a calm heart, بی‌صبری is the storm that precedes the calm. It is used in both positive contexts (the excitement of a child) and negative ones (the frustration of a driver in Tehran traffic). It differs from 'ajaleh' (haste) in that haste refers to the speed of an action, whereas بی‌صبری refers to the internal state of the mind. You might act with haste because of your impatience, but the impatience is the root cause.

Social Nuance: In social settings, admitting to بی‌صبری can be a way of showing how much you value someone's company—telling a friend you are 'bi-sabr' to see them is a compliment.

من از این همه بی‌صبری شما تعجب می‌کنم.

I am surprised by all this impatience of yours.

Historically, Persian literature has treated بی‌صبری as a characteristic of the passionate lover. In the works of Saadi or Hafez, the lover often expresses بی‌صبری because the separation from the beloved is unbearable. This gives the word a romantic and sometimes spiritual dimension that goes beyond simple annoyance. In modern Iranian life, however, it is frequently heard in the context of bureaucracy or technology, where the 'bi-sabri' of the youth is often contrasted with the 'sabr' of the older generation.

Grammatical Function: It is a noun, but it is almost always paired with verbs like 'kardan' (to do/act) or 'dashtan' (to have) to describe behavior.

لطفاً بی‌صبری نکنید، نوبت شما هم می‌رسد.

Please do not be impatient; your turn will also come.

او با بی‌صبری تمام منتظر شنیدن اخبار بود.

He was waiting with total impatience to hear the news.

In summary, بی‌صبری is a word that bridges the gap between the mundane frustrations of daily life and the deep, existential yearnings found in Persian soul. Whether you are waiting for a bus or waiting for a life-changing event, this word perfectly encapsulates that itching desire for the future to arrive sooner than the present allows.

Using بی‌صبری correctly in a sentence requires an understanding of its role as a noun and how it interacts with Persian light verbs. Most commonly, you will see it used as 'bi-sabri kardan' (to act with impatience) or 'ba bi-sabri' (with impatience) acting as an adverbial phrase. Because it is a noun derived from an adjective (bi-sabr), it carries a weight that the adjective alone sometimes lacks. Let's explore the various syntactic structures where this word thrives.

The Adverbial 'With' Construction: This is perhaps the most frequent usage. By adding 'ba' (with) before the word, you describe 'how' an action is being performed.

دانشجویان با بی‌صبری منتظر اعلام نتایج امتحان بودند.

The students were waiting with impatience for the announcement of the exam results.

In this structure, بی‌صبری functions as the object of the preposition 'ba'. Notice how it adds a layer of anxiety or excitement to the verb 'montazer budan' (to be waiting). Without this word, the sentence would just state a fact; with it, we feel the tension in the room. You can also intensify this by adding 'tamam' (total/complete) after it: 'ba bi-sabri-ye tamam'.

The Light Verb Construction: When you want to say someone 'is being impatient' as an active behavior, you use 'bi-sabri kardan'.

خواهش می‌کنم انقدر بی‌صبری نکن، غذا تا چند دقیقه دیگر آماده می‌شود.

I beg you, don't be so impatient; the food will be ready in a few minutes.

This usage is very common in spoken Persian. It's a direct way to address someone's restless behavior. It is slightly more descriptive than just saying 'sabr kon' (have patience). By saying 'bi-sabri nakon', you are explicitly asking them to stop the outward manifestation of their restlessness.

بی‌صبری او باعث شد که اشتباه بزرگی در کارش مرتکب شود.

His impatience caused him to make a big mistake in his work.

In the sentence above, بی‌صبری acts as the subject of the sentence. This is a more formal or literary way of using the word, often found in moralizing texts or analytical writing. It treats the quality of impatience as an abstract force that leads to specific outcomes. This is very common in Persian educational materials or psychological discussions.

Attributive Usage: While 'bi-sabr' is the adjective, you can use the noun بی‌صبری in an Ezafe construction to describe a specific 'type' of impatience.

این بی‌صبریِ کودکانه برای من خیلی شیرین است.

This childish impatience is very sweet to me.

As you can see, بی‌صبری is highly versatile. Whether it is the cause of a mistake, the manner of an action, or a behavior to be corrected, it fits seamlessly into various grammatical slots. Mastery of this word allows you to express a wide range of human emotions that 'lack of patience' only begins to touch upon in English.

If you spend a day in a major Iranian city like Tehran, Isfahan, or Shiraz, you will encounter the concept—and the word—بی‌صبری in various contexts. From the bustling grand bazaars to the modern digital tech hubs, this word serves as a commentary on the pace of life. Iranians are known for their hospitality and sometimes their 'sabr' (patience) in social rituals like Ta'arof, but the reality of modern life often brings out the بی‌صبری in everyone.

In the Streets and Traffic: Tehran's legendary traffic is a breeding ground for this word. You'll hear drivers complaining about the 'bi-sabri' of others who honk their horns the millisecond a light turns green.

راننده‌ها با بی‌صبری بوق می‌زدند.

The drivers were honking with impatience.

In this context, the word carries a tone of social criticism. It's used to describe a lack of civic order or a lack of 'shakibayi' (endurance). If you are stuck in a taxi, the driver might turn to you and say, 'Mardome ma kheyli bi-sabr shodan' (Our people have become very impatient), reflecting a common sentiment about the stresses of modern life.

At Home and in Families: Parents often use this word with their children. It’s a gentle (or sometimes stern) way to teach the virtue of waiting. You will hear it during meal times or before holiday celebrations.

مادر گفت: این همه بی‌صبری برای چیست؟

The mother said: What is all this impatience for?

In family settings, بی‌صبری is often contrasted with 'sabr-e Ayyub' (the patience of Job), a common cultural reference. If someone is being extremely impatient, a family member might jokingly say, 'You certainly don't have the patience of Job!'

او از بی‌صبری زیاد، نامه را قبل از رسیدن به خانه باز کرد.

Out of great impatience, he opened the letter before reaching home.

In the professional world, especially in the growing tech scene in Iran, بی‌صبری is mentioned in the context of 'user experience' (UX). Designers talk about the 'bi-sabri' of users who will leave a website if it takes more than two seconds to load. Here, the word is used technically to describe human behavior in the digital age.

In Literature and Media: News headlines might use the word to describe public reaction to economic changes or political delays. It conveys a sense of collective urgency.

مردم با بی‌صبری منتظر تغییرات هستند.

The people are waiting for changes with impatience.

From the most intimate family moments to the broadest social trends, بی‌صبری is a key to understanding the emotional landscape of contemporary Iran. It is a word that captures the friction between our desires and the reality of time.

While بی‌صبری is a relatively straightforward word, English speakers and new learners of Persian often stumble on its nuances and its relationship with other similar words. Understanding these pitfalls will help you sound more like a native speaker and avoid subtle miscommunications.

Mistake 1: Confusing Noun and Adjective: A common error is using 'bi-sabri' (impatience) when you should use 'bi-sabr' (impatient). Remember: 'bi-sabri' is the THING, 'bi-sabr' is the PERSON.

Incorrect: من خیلی بی‌صبری هستم. (I am very impatience.)

Correct: من خیلی بی‌صبر هستم. (I am very impatient.)

To use the noun, you must say 'I have impatience' (man bi-sabri daram) or 'I act with impatience' (man bi-sabri mikonam). This is a classic 'parts of speech' error that can make your Persian sound clunky.

Mistake 2: Overlap with 'Ajaleh' (Haste): Many learners use 'ajaleh' and 'bi-sabri' interchangeably. While they are related, they are not the same. 'Ajaleh' is about the speed of action (rushing); 'bi-sabri' is about the internal feeling (unwillingness to wait).

Context: You are running to catch a bus. Use عجله (ajaleh).

Context: You are sitting at a table waiting for food and looking at your watch. Use بی‌صبری.

Using 'bi-sabri' when you mean you are in a hurry to get to a meeting can sound a bit dramatic or slightly off-target. Use 'ajaleh daram' for 'I'm in a hurry' and 'bi-sabri mikonam' for 'I'm being impatient'.

Incorrect: او با بی‌صبری به سمت خانه دوید. (He ran home with impatience.)

Better: او با عجله به سمت خانه دوید. (He ran home in a hurry.)

Another mistake involves the 'i' suffix. Some learners forget that 'bi-sabr' is already an adjective, and they try to add 'tar' or 'tarin' (comparative suffixes) to 'bi-sabri'. You cannot say 'bi-sabri-tar'. You must say 'bi-sabr-tar' (more impatient).

Mistake 3: Negative Connotations: In English, 'impatience' is often a neutral or slightly negative trait. In Persian, especially in formal contexts, 'bi-sabri' can sound quite critical. Be careful when accusing an elder or a superior of 'bi-sabri'.

Use with caution: استاد، چرا اینقدر بی‌صبری می‌کنید؟

This might sound disrespectful to a professor.

By keeping these distinctions in mind—noun vs. adjective, internal feeling vs. external speed, and the social weight of the word—you will use بی‌صبری with the precision of a native speaker.

Persian is a language rich in synonyms, each with its own specific shade of meaning. While بی‌صبری is the most common way to say 'impatience', there are several other words you might encounter or want to use to sound more sophisticated or precise.

ناشکیبایی (Nashakibayi): This is the formal, literary cousin of 'bi-sabri'. It comes from 'shakibayi' (endurance/patience). You will find it in literature, formal speeches, and high-level journalism.

ناشکیبایی در برابر سختی‌ها صفت پسندیده‌ای نیست.

Intolerance (impatience) toward hardships is not a desirable trait.

While 'bi-sabri' is often about waiting for something good or bad, 'nashakibayi' often implies a lack of resilience or an inability to endure a difficult situation. It is a 'heavier' word.

بی‌قراری (Bi-gharari): This word literally means 'without rest' or 'without stability'. It is often used to describe the physical restlessness that comes with impatience or anxiety.

او از شدت بی‌قراری در اتاق قدم می‌زد.

Out of intense restlessness, he was pacing the room.

Use 'bi-gharari' when the impatience is so strong that the person cannot stay still. It has a stronger emotional and physical component than 'bi-sabri'.

عجله (Ajaleh): As mentioned before, this means 'haste' or 'hurry'. It is the most common word for when you are short on time.

ببخشید، من کمی عجله دارم.

Excuse me, I am in a bit of a hurry.

If you are running late for a flight, you have 'ajaleh'. If you are sitting on the plane waiting for it to take off because you want to get home, you have 'bi-sabri'.

کم‌طاقتی (Kam-taghati): This means 'low tolerance' or 'short-temperedness'. It is a specific kind of impatience where a person gets easily annoyed by delays or mistakes.

کم‌طاقتی یکی از ویژگی‌های اخلاقی اوست.

Short-temperedness (low patience) is one of his personality traits.

By choosing between بی‌صبری, ناشکیبایی, بی‌قراری, and عجله, you can pinpoint exactly what kind of 'lack of waiting' you are describing. This level of detail is what makes Persian such a poetic and expressive language.

Astuces

Noun vs Adjective

Always remember that 'bi-sabri' is the noun. Use it with 'ba' or 'kardan'.

The Virtue of Sabr

Because patience is a high virtue, being called 'bi-sabr' can be a slight insult.

Formal Alternative

Use 'nashakibayi' in essays or formal speeches to sound more educated.

Stress the End

The stress is on the final 'i'. This helps differentiate it from other words.

Excitement vs Anger

This word works for both. Use 'bi-sabri-ye shirin' for 'sweet impatience'.

Adverbial Use

Use 'bi-sabraneh' if you want a single word adverb (impatiently).

Paired with Verbs

It almost always goes with 'kardan', 'dashtan', or 'montazer budan'.

Bi-Sabr = No-Wait

Just remember Bi = No and Sabr = Wait. No-Wait!

Polite Correction

Say 'bi-sabri nakon' gently to children or friends.

Listen for 'Ba'

If you hear 'ba', it's almost always 'ba bi-sabri' describing an action.

Mémorise-le

Moyen mnémotechnique

Think of 'Bi' as 'Bye-bye' and 'Sabr' as 'Sober'. When your patience says 'Bye-bye' and you're no longer 'Sober' (calm), you have 'Bi-sabri'!

Association visuelle

Imagine a person standing in a long line, constantly tapping their foot and looking at a giant clock. The clock is labeled 'SABR' and they are stepping away from it—'BI-SABR'.

Word Web

Sabr (Root) Bi- (Prefix) Bi-sabr (Adjective) Bi-sabraneh (Adverb) Saburi (Positive noun) Nashakibayi (Formal synonym) Ajaleh (Related concept) Entezar (Context)

Défi

Try to go an entire hour without showing any 'bi-sabri'. If you feel it coming, say the word 'sabr' three times to yourself.

Origine du mot

The word is a hybrid Persian construction. 'Sabr' is an Arabic loanword meaning patience. 'Bi-' is a native Persian prefix for negation. The final '-i' is the Persian nominalizing suffix.

Sens originel : Without the quality of endurance or waiting.

Indo-European (Persian) + Afro-Asiatic (Arabic root).

Contexte culturel

Avoid using 'bi-sabri' to describe a superior's actions in a professional setting, as it can sound accusatory.

English speakers might use 'impatience' more casually. In Persian, it can feel slightly more descriptive of one's internal emotional state.

The poetry of Hafez often mentions the 'bi-sabri' of the lover waiting for the beloved. The 'Patience of Job' (Sabr-e Ayyub) is the ultimate cultural counterpoint. Modern Iranian pop songs frequently use 'bi-sabri' to describe longing.
