When we talk about something happening by chance or without a specific pattern, we use the word تصادفی. Imagine picking a card from a deck without looking – that's a تصادفی act. Or if you bump into an old friend unexpectedly on the street, that's a تصادفی encounter. It emphasizes the lack of intention or predictability in an event.
§ What "تصادفی" Means
The Persian word "تصادفی" (tasādofī) is a very useful word to express randomness or accident. It means "randomly" or "accidentally," and implies something happened without any specific plan or order.

§ How to Use it in a Sentence
"تصادفی" can function as both an adjective and an adverb, which makes it quite versatile. Let's look at how it works in different contexts.
§ As an Adverb (Randomly, Accidentally)
When "تصادفی" acts as an adverb, it describes how an action is performed. It usually comes before the verb or at the end of the sentence.

- Translation Hint
- I saw him on the street accidentally.
دادهها به صورت تصادفی انتخاب شدند.

§ As an Adjective (Random, Accidental)
When "تصادفی" functions as an adjective, it describes a noun. In Persian, adjectives usually come after the noun they modify.

§ Common Phrases and Usage
Here are some common ways you'll hear or use "تصادفی" in everyday Persian:
- شانس تصادفی (shāns-e tasādofī): Random chance
- به طور تصادفی (be tōr-e tasādofī): Randomly (more formal than just "تصادفی")
- اتفاق تصادفی (ettefāq-e tasādofī): Accidental event
The key is to remember that "تصادفی" always brings the idea of something happening without prior arrangement or specific intention. It's a fundamental concept to grasp for fluent communication!
Guide de prononciation
- The 'ɒ' sound can be challenging for English speakers, as it's a short 'o' sound similar to 'pot' in British English, but often longer in American English. Practice distinguishing it from a long 'o' sound.
- The 'ee' sound at the end is a long 'e' sound, like in 'see'. Ensure it's not shortened.
Grammaire à connaître
The suffix "-i" (-ی) can turn some adjectives into adverbs, indicating 'in a ... manner.' In "تصادفی," it modifies the adjective "تصادف" (accident) to mean "accidentally."
او تصادفی به من برخورد کرد. (He accidentally bumped into me.)
When used before a noun, "تصادفی" can act as an adjective meaning "random" or "accidental." For example, "انتخاب تصادفی" means "random choice."

It can be used with verbs to describe the manner of an action. For instance, "تصادفی انتخاب کردن" means "to choose randomly."

In some contexts, "تصادفی" can imply a lack of intention or purpose. For example, "تصادفی دیدن" means "to see by chance."
