Explication مجاز in your Level:

At the A1 level, think of 'mojāz' as a simple word you see on signs. It means 'Yes, you can' or 'It is okay to do this.' You will most likely see it in two-word phrases like 'Vorud Mojāz' (Entry Permitted). You don't need to worry about complex grammar yet. Just remember that if you see this word, it usually means you have permission. It is the opposite of 'Mamnu' (Forbidden). If you are in a park or a museum and you see 'mojāz,' you are safe to proceed! It is a very helpful word for travelers to recognize so they don't break any simple rules.

At the A2 level, you start using 'mojāz' in simple sentences with the verb 'to be' (ast/hast). You can ask basic questions like 'Āyā injā pārk kardan mojāz ast?' (Is parking permitted here?). You are also learning that it can be used for simple rules in school or at home. You should begin to recognize the negative form 'mojāz nist' (is not permitted). You might also see it in the context of computer games or simple apps where certain moves or actions are 'mojāz.' It helps you understand the boundaries of what is allowed in a slightly more formal way than just saying 'ok.'

At the B1 level, you are expected to use 'mojāz' more flexibly. You should understand the structure 'mojāz be + [action],' such as 'Shomā mojāz be estefāde az in dastgāh hastid' (You are permitted to use this device). You also start encountering 'mojāz' in media and news, especially regarding what is 'authorized' by the government, like licensed music or books. You should be able to distinguish 'mojāz' from 'qānuni' (legal) and 'ejāzeh' (permission). This is the level where you use the word to discuss rules and regulations in a workplace or academic environment with confidence.

At the B2 level, 'mojāz' becomes part of your professional vocabulary. You use it to describe terms and conditions, contractual permissions, and complex social regulations. You understand the nuance of 'gheyr-e mojāz' (unauthorized) in contexts like 'unauthorized access' to data or 'illegal' immigration. You can use it in the passive sense or within complex sentences involving subordinate clauses. You also recognize its use in metaphors, though rare, and in highly specific fields like engineering (permitted tolerances) or finance (permitted credit limits). Your understanding of the root (j-w-z) helps you connect it to other words like 'mojavvez' (permit).

At the C1 level, you appreciate the subtle distinctions between 'mojāz,' 'jāyez,' 'ravā,' and 'moshru'.' You can use 'mojāz' in legal writing or formal debates to specify the scope of authority. You understand how the word functions in classical literature versus modern administrative Persian. You are comfortable using it in the context of 'mojāz-e morsal' (synecdoche) in Persian rhetoric—a completely different academic use of the word! You can discuss the philosophical implications of what is 'mojāz' in a society and how those boundaries are defined by power structures and legislation.

At the C2 level, your mastery of 'mojāz' is absolute. You can use it to draft formal regulations, legal challenges, or high-level academic papers. You understand the historical evolution of the word from its Arabic roots into the Persian administrative system. You can navigate the most complex bureaucratic documents where 'mojāz' defines the limits of executive power. You also have a deep understanding of its technical use in linguistics and rhetoric, and you can employ the word with perfect precision in any register, from a supreme court filing to a nuanced critique of artistic censorship.

مجاز en 30 secondes

Means 'permitted' or 'authorized' by rules.
Commonly used in legal, formal, and digital contexts.
The negative form is 'gheyr-e mojāz' (unauthorized).
Derived from the Arabic root for 'crossing' or 'passing'.

The Persian word مجاز (mojāz) is a cornerstone of Persian legal, administrative, and everyday regulatory language. At its core, it functions as an adjective meaning 'permitted,' 'authorized,' or 'lawful.' Derived from the Arabic root (j-w-z), which relates to 'passing through' or 'crossing,' the word implies that an action has successfully 'passed' the scrutiny of rules or laws. In modern Persian, you will encounter this word on street signs, in software settings, within academic handbooks, and in formal conversations regarding rights and limitations. It is the linguistic gatekeeper that distinguishes between what one can do and what one must avoid.

Legal Context: In the realm of law, mojāz refers to actions that do not incur penalties. For example, a lawyer might argue that a client's actions were entirely 'mojāz' under current statutes.
Digital Permissions: In the world of technology, this word translates to 'authorized.' If you see a message saying 'دسترسی مجاز است' (Dastrasi mojāz ast), it means 'Access is authorized.'

پارک کردن در این منطقه برای معلولین مجاز است.

Translation: Parking in this area is permitted for the disabled.

Understanding mojāz requires recognizing its weight. Unlike the word 'allowed' in English, which can be very casual (e.g., 'My mom allowed me to go'), mojāz often carries a sense of official sanction. If you are at a university, certain courses might be 'mojāz' for your major, meaning they are officially recognized parts of your curriculum. If you are driving, a 'U-turn' might be 'mojāz' only at specific intersections. It is also frequently used in its negative form, غیرمجاز (gheyr-e mojāz), to denote things that are unauthorized, such as 'unauthorized copies' or 'illegal entry.'

Social Etiquette: In social settings, while less common than 'ejāzeh' (permission), 'mojāz' can be used to describe socially acceptable behaviors in formal environments, such as dress codes.

استفاده از تلفن همراه در جلسه مجاز نیست.

Translation: Using a mobile phone in the meeting is not permitted.

Using mojāz correctly involves understanding its role as a predicate adjective or an attributive adjective. In most cases, it follows the noun it modifies, often coupled with the verb 'to be' (budan). Because it is an adjective of state, it doesn't change based on the gender of the subject (as Persian lacks grammatical gender), but it must align with the formality of the sentence.

Predicate Usage: This is the most common form: [Subject] + [mojāz] + [Verb]. For example: 'ورود مجاز است' (Entry is permitted).

آیا عکاسی در این موزه مجاز است؟

Translation: Is photography permitted in this museum?

When using mojāz to describe a person's authorization, you often use the preposition 'be' (to) or 'barāye' (for). For instance, 'You are permitted to enter' would be 'شما مجاز به ورود هستید' (Shomā mojāz be vorud hastid). Notice how 'mojāz' is followed by 'be' to link it to the action being permitted. This structure is vital for B1 learners to master as it allows for more complex sentence construction beyond simple signboards.

Negative Form: To say something is 'unauthorized' or 'not permitted,' you can either use 'mojāz nist' (is not permitted) or the compound adjective 'gheyr-e mojāz' (unauthorized).

تغییر تنظیمات برای کاربران عادی مجاز نمی‌باشد.

Translation: Changing settings is not permitted for normal users (Formal).

In the bustling streets of Tehran or the quiet halls of a provincial library, mojāz is everywhere. If you are using public transport, you might hear announcements regarding 'بار مجاز' (bār-e mojāz) — the permitted luggage weight. In the context of Iranian media, the word takes on a cultural dimension. Films, books, and music are often categorized as 'mojāz' if they have received the necessary permits from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. Conversely, 'zir-zamini' (underground) music is often 'gheyr-e mojāz.'

Public Signage: Look for signs saying 'حداکثر سرعت مجاز' (Hadd-e akisari-ye sor'at-e mojāz) meaning 'Maximum permitted speed.'

فقط افراد مجاز می‌توانند وارد این بخش شوند.

Translation: Only authorized individuals can enter this section.

In academic settings, professors use the word when discussing exam rules. 'استفاده از ماشین‌حساب مجاز است' (Use of a calculator is permitted). In the financial sector, banks talk about 'سقف مجاز برداشت' (the permitted withdrawal ceiling). The word is rarely used in very intimate, casual slang, where 'ok' or 'moshkeli nadāre' (it's no problem) might be preferred. However, as soon as there is a hint of a rule or a boundary, mojāz becomes the natural choice for any native speaker.

One of the most frequent errors English speakers make when learning mojāz is confusing it with 'ejāzeh' (permission). While they are related, mojāz is an adjective (permitted), while 'ejāzeh' is a noun (permission). You cannot say 'I have mojāz'; you must say 'I have ejāzeh' or 'I am mojāz.'

Mistake: Mixing Noun and Adjective: Incorrect: من مجاز دارم (I have permitted). Correct: من اجازه دارم (I have permission) or من مجاز هستم (I am permitted).

Another mistake is using mojāz for 'legal' in all contexts. While mojāz means permitted by law, the word for 'legal' as in 'related to the law' is 'qānuni' (قانونی). For example, a 'legal advisor' is a 'moshaver-e qānuni,' not a 'moshaver-e mojāz.' Use mojāz specifically when you want to express that a specific action is allowed under a set of rules.

اشتباه: این کار مجاز نیست. (This work is not permitted - Correct if referring to a specific act, but use 'gheyr-e qānuni' if it's a criminal act).

Finally, learners often forget the preposition 'be' when connecting the adjective to an action. Saying 'Man mojāz raftan hastam' is incorrect. You must say 'Man mojāz be raftan hastam' (I am permitted to go). The 'be' acts as the bridge to the infinitive or the noun of action.

To truly master Persian, you must distinguish mojāz from its close synonyms. Each has a slightly different 'flavor' and register. While mojāz is formal and regulatory, others might be more religious or casual.

Mojāz vs. Jāyez (جایز): Jāyez is often used in religious or ethical contexts. For example, a certain action might be 'jāyez' (permissible) in Islamic law. Mojāz is more secular and administrative.
Mojāz vs. Ravā (روا): Ravā is a more poetic or archaic word for 'allowable' or 'right.' You might hear it in literature or old-fashioned formal speech: 'In kar ravā nist' (This act is not right/allowable).
Mojāz vs. Qānuni (قانونی): Qānuni simply means 'legal.' While 'mojāz' means 'permitted,' 'qānuni' describes anything related to the law.

مقایسه: ورود مجاز (Permitted entry) vs. ازدواج قانونی (Legal marriage).

In summary, use mojāz when there is a list of rules, a sign, or an official authority granting specific permission for an action. Use jāyez for morality, qānuni for legality in general, and āzād (free/allowed) for more casual situations like 'Smoking is allowed here' (Sigār keshidan āzād ast).

How Formal Is It?

The root also gives us 'tajāvoz' (transgression), which literally means 'crossing the line' in a bad way.

Erreurs courantes

من مجاز دارم → من اجازه دارم / من مجاز هستم
'Mojāz' is an adjective, not a noun. You cannot 'have' it.
مجاز رفتن → مجاز به رفتن
You need the preposition 'be' to connect the adjective to the action.
سرعتِ مجازات → سرعتِ مجاز
Adding a 't' turns 'permitted' into 'punishment'.
او یک دکتر مجاز است → او یک دکتر قانونی است
Use 'qānuni' for professional status like 'legal' or 'official'.
مجاز مجازی → مجاز
Don't add the 'i' unless you mean 'virtual'.

Astuces

The 'Be' Rule

When 'mojāz' is followed by a verb, always use the preposition 'be'. Example: مجاز به رفتن (Permitted to go).

Opposites

Learn 'mojāz' alongside 'mamnu' (forbidden). They are the two most common words on signs in Iran.

Music Context

In Iran, 'mojāz music' refers to music that has government approval. This is a very common topic of conversation.

Stress

Always stress the second syllable (JĀZ). Stressing the first syllable (MO) sounds unnatural.

Formal Documents

In formal documents, you will see 'مجاز می‌باشد' instead of 'مجاز است'. It means the same thing but sounds more official.

Sign Recognition

Look for the shape of the word on circular signs. If it's in a green circle, it's likely 'mojāz'.

More Jazz

Think of 'More Jazz is permitted' to remember 'mojāz'.

Tech Terms

'Dastrasi-ye mojāz' means 'Authorized access'. You'll see this in Persian software settings.

Don't confuse with punishment

Be careful not to add a 't' at the end. 'Mojāzat' means punishment, which is very different!

Asking Permission

While you can say 'Āyā mojāz hastam?', it's more common to ask 'Ejāzeh hast?' in casual settings.

Mémorise-le

Moyen mnémotechnique

Think of 'More Jazz'. If a club says 'More Jazz' is permitted, it is 'Mojāz'.

Origine du mot

Derived from the Arabic passive participle of the root ج-و-ز (j-w-z).

Sens originel : Originally meant 'that which has been passed' or 'crossed over.'

Semitic root, incorporated into Persian (Indo-European) vocabulary.

Contexte culturel

Be careful when discussing 'mojāz' in politics, as it often implies government censorship or approval.

The word is more formal than 'allowed' and closer to 'authorized' or 'legitimate' in English legal contexts.

Questions fréquentes

10 questions

No, 'mojāz' means permitted. 'Majāzi' (with an 'i' at the end) means virtual. They are often confused by beginners.

Only if you mean 'permitted by law.' If you mean 'related to the law,' use 'qānuni.'

Use 'gheyr-e mojāz.' It is the standard term for things like unauthorized access or illegal software.

Not usually. In slang, people say 'ok-e' or 'moshkeli nadāre.' 'Mojāz' is more for signs and official rules.

It comes from the Arabic root J-W-Z, which means to cross or pass. Hence, something that is 'mojāz' has 'passed' the rules.

It refers to the 'permitted luggage' weight, usually at an airport or on a bus.

No. 'Halāl' is specifically for religious dietary or moral laws. 'Mojāz' is for any kind of official rule, like traffic or computer access.

Yes, 'afrād-e mojāz' means authorized personnel or authorized individuals.

It is a technical term in Persian literature for synecdoche, a type of figurative language.

It is a long 'ā', like the 'a' in 'father'. Do not pronounce it like the 'a' in 'cat'.
