مخالفت کردن

mokhalefat kardan
At the A1 level, you can think of 'مخالفت کردن' as saying 'No' to an idea. It is like saying 'I don't like this plan' or 'I don't agree'. You use it with 'با' (with). For example: 'من با این غذا مخالفت می‌کنم' (I disagree with [having] this food). It is a bit advanced for A1, but simple sentences like 'من مخالفت کردم' (I disagreed) are useful.
At A2, you should be able to use this verb in the past and present tense to express your opinion in simple social situations. You can use it to talk about plans with friends or simple rules. You know that it needs the word 'با' before the thing you don't like. Example: 'پدرم با سفر من مخالفت کرد' (My father opposed my trip).
By B1, you use 'مخالفت کردن' in more formal contexts, like work or school. You can explain *why* you are opposing something using 'چون' (because). You also start to see the noun form 'مخالفت' used on its own. Example: 'مدیر با پیشنهاد ما مخالفت کرد چون وقت نداشتیم' (The manager opposed our proposal because we didn't have time).
At B2, you use this verb to discuss social and political issues. you understand the difference between 'مخالفت کردن' (to actively oppose) and 'مخالف بودن' (to be in a state of disagreement). You can use it in complex sentences with relative clauses. Example: 'گروه‌های محیط‌زیستی با پروژه‌ای که باعث آلودگی می‌شود، مخالفت کردند' (Environmental groups opposed the project that causes pollution).
At C1, you recognize the nuances of this verb in literature and high-level journalism. You understand its synonyms like 'برخاستن علیه' (to rise against) or 'قد علم کردن' (to stand up against). You can use it to describe abstract ideological opposition. Example: 'روشنفکران با جزم‌اندیشی‌های مذهبی به شدت مخالفت کردند' (Intellectuals strongly opposed religious dogmas).
At C2, you have a complete mastery. You can use 'مخالفت کردن' in legal, philosophical, and highly formal diplomatic contexts. You understand how it functions in classical Persian poetry versus modern legal code. You can use it to articulate subtle shifts in policy or thought where opposition is nuanced or conditional.

مخالفت کردن en 30 secondes

  • Mokhalafat kardan means 'to oppose' or 'to disagree'.
  • It is a compound verb using 'kardan' (to do).
  • Always use the preposition 'ba' (with) after it.
  • Common in news, debates, and daily disagreements.

The phrase مخالفت کردن is a fundamental compound verb in Persian used to express disagreement or opposition. At its core, it combines the noun 'مخالفت' (opposition/disagreement) with the light verb 'کردن' (to do). When you use this term, you are not just saying you have a different thought; you are often taking a stance against a specific proposal or action. In a social context, it can range from a polite 'I beg to differ' to a formal political protest.

Root Origin
Derived from the Arabic root 'خ-ل-ف' (kh-l-f), relating to being behind or contrary.
Grammatical Structure
Compound verb (Noun + Light Verb 'Kardan').
Preposition
Almost always used with the preposition 'با' (with/against).

من با پیشنهاد شما مخالفت کردم چون بودجه کافی نداریم.

Example: I opposed your proposal because we don't have enough budget.

Understanding this word requires recognizing its weight. In Iranian culture, where 'Ta'arof' (ritual politeness) is prevalent, 'مخالفت کردن' can sometimes be softened or expressed indirectly. However, in formal debates, legal documents, or news reporting, it is the standard term for expressing a contrary position. It covers everything from a child refusing to eat vegetables to a parliament rejecting a bill.

بسیاری از مردم با ساختن جاده جدید مخالفت کردند.

Example: Many people opposed building the new road.
Intensity
Medium to High. It is stronger than just 'disliking'.
Formal/Informal
Used in both, but very common in formal media.

Using مخالفت کردن correctly involves mastering the light verb 'کردن' and its conjugation. Since it is a compound verb, only the 'کردن' part changes for tense and person. The most important rule is the use of the preposition با (ba). You oppose *with* something in Persian logic.

  • Present Simple: من مخالفت می‌کنم (I oppose)
  • Past Simple: او مخالفت کرد (He/She opposed)
  • Present Perfect: آن‌ها مخالفت کرده‌اند (They have opposed)

دولت با افزایش قیمت بنزین مخالفت می‌کند.

The government opposes the increase in gasoline prices.

When you want to say 'I disagree with you', you say: من با تو مخالفت می‌کنم. Notice how the object of opposition follows 'با'. If you are opposing an idea, that idea follows 'با'. It is also common to see this word in the negative form: 'مخالفت نکردن' (to not oppose/to go along with).

Active vs. Passive
To say 'it was opposed', we usually use 'مورد مخالفت قرار گرفت'.
Subjunctive
نباید با این طرح مخالفت کنی (You shouldn't oppose this plan).

You will encounter مخالفت کردن in several distinct environments. Each context gives the word a slightly different flavor. In the news, it is ubiquitous. Reporters use it to describe diplomatic tensions, legislative battles, and public protests. If a country rejects a treaty, they 'مخالفت کردند'.

شورای شهر با تخریب ساختمان‌های قدیمی مخالفت کرد.

News Headline: City Council opposed the demolition of old buildings.

In academic or professional settings, it is used during meetings. If a manager proposes a new strategy and a colleague has concerns, they might say: 'من با این بخش از برنامه مخالفت دارم' or 'من مخالفت می‌کنم'. In daily life, it appears when discussing plans with friends or family—choosing a restaurant, a travel destination, or a movie.

Legal
Used when a judge or lawyer objects to a statement.
Family
Parents opposing a child's decision (e.g., marriage or career).

One of the most frequent errors learners make is using the wrong preposition. Because in English we say 'oppose [something]', learners often want to use the direct object marker 'را'. However, in Persian, you must use با. Saying 'طرح را مخالفت کردم' is incorrect; it must be 'با طرح مخالفت کردم'.

من تو را مخالفت می‌کنم.

من با تو مخالفت می‌کنم.

Correcting the preposition error.

Another mistake is confusing 'مخالفت کردن' (to oppose) with 'اختلاف داشتن' (to have a difference/dispute). While related, 'مخالفت کردن' is an action of disagreement, whereas 'اختلاف داشتن' often refers to a long-standing conflict or a numerical difference. Also, avoid confusing it with 'فرق داشتن' (to be different). Being different is a state; opposing is an action.

To enrich your vocabulary, it's helpful to know words that orbit the same meaning as مخالفت کردن. Depending on the intensity and context, you might choose a different verb.

اعتراض کردن (E'terāz kardan)
To protest or object. This is more vocal and active than just disagreeing.
رد کردن (Rad kardan)
To reject or refuse. This is the outcome of opposition.
نپذیرفتن (Napaziraf-tan)
To not accept. A softer, more neutral way to express opposition.
مقابله کردن (Moghābele kardan)
To confront or counter. This implies a physical or strategic struggle.

او همیشه با نظرات من لجاجت می‌کند (He always stubbornly opposes my views).

Using 'لجاجت' for stubborn opposition.

While 'مخالفت کردن' is the standard, using 'انتقاد کردن' (to criticize) is common when the opposition is based on specific flaws. In formal writing, you might see 'امتناع کردن' (to refrain/refuse) when someone opposes by not doing something.
