جارو کردن 30 सेकंड में
- Jāru kardan means 'to sweep' using a broom.
- It is a compound verb using the auxiliary 'kardan'.
- Essential for daily chores and cultural cleaning rituals.
- Can be used literally for floors or metaphorically for clearing.
The Persian verb جارو کردن (Jāru kardan) is a fundamental compound verb that every learner must master early in their journey. At its most basic level, it refers to the physical act of sweeping a surface, typically a floor, using a broom. However, in the context of Iranian culture, this word carries a weight of domestic diligence and hospitality. Sweeping is not just a chore; it is the first step in preparing a home for guests, a ritualistic clearing of space that signals a welcoming environment. The word consists of two parts: 'Jāru' (broom) and 'kardan' (to do/to make). Together, they form the action of utilizing a broom to gather dust, debris, or leaves.
- The Tool (Jāru)
- In Iran, a 'Jāru' can range from a traditional short-handled grass broom used for carpets to a long-handled modern broom for tiled floors. When you use the verb جارو کردن, you are specifically invoking the use of this tool.
- The Action (Kardan)
- As a compound verb, the heavy lifting of conjugation is done by 'kardan'. This makes it relatively easy for beginners to use across different tenses once they know the stems of 'kardan'.
مادرم هر روز صبح حیاط را جارو میکند تا تمیز بماند.
You will hear this word most frequently in domestic settings. It is a staple of 'Khaneh-tekani' (the Great Spring Cleaning) before the Persian New Year (Nowruz). During this time, the act of جارو کردن takes on a symbolic meaning of sweeping away the misfortunes of the past year to make room for the new. It is also used metaphorically in literature and daily speech to describe 'clearing out' or 'cleaning up' a situation or a group of people. For instance, if a coach removes all old players from a team, one might say he 'swept' the team.
لطفاً قبل از آمدن مهمانها، فرش را جارو کن.
Whether you are talking about cleaning your room, tidying up a shop, or describing the wind sweeping leaves across a path, جارو کردن is your go-to verb. It bridges the gap between a simple chore and a necessary social grace in Persian-speaking cultures. Understanding its usage helps you navigate daily life in an Iranian household where cleanliness (nezafat) is highly valued and often discussed.
Using جارو کردن correctly requires an understanding of Persian compound verb structures. Since 'kardan' (to do) is the auxiliary verb, it changes to reflect tense, person, and number, while 'Jāru' remains static. This section will guide you through the various ways to incorporate this verb into your speech, from simple present tense to more complex hypothetical scenarios.
- Present Continuous
- To say 'I am sweeping', you use the present stem 'kon' with the prefix 'mi-'. Example: 'Dāram jāru mikonam' (دارم جارو میکنم).
- Past Simple
- To say 'I swept', use the past stem 'kard'. Example: 'Man diruz otāq rā jāru kardam' (من دیروز اتاق را جارو کردم).
اگر وقت داشتم، تمام خانه را جارو میکردم.
In Persian, the object being swept usually takes the object marker 'rā' (را) if it is specific. For instance, 'Otāq rā jāru kon' (Sweep the room). If you are speaking generally about sweeping as an activity, you might omit the 'rā'. For example, 'Bāyad jāru konam' (I must sweep). It is also important to distinguish between manual sweeping and vacuuming. While 'Jāru kardan' can sometimes be used broadly, the specific term for vacuuming is 'Jāru barghi keshidan' (جارو برقی کشیدن), though in casual conversation, many people just say 'Jāru kardan' and rely on context to imply the vacuum.

Furthermore, the verb can be used in the passive voice: 'Jāru shodan' (to be swept). This is useful in formal reports or descriptions. For example, 'Khiyābānhā har shab jāru mishavand' (The streets are swept every night). Mastery of these variations allows you to describe cleaning routines with precision and natural flow, making your Persian sound more authentic and less like a translation from English.
You will encounter جارو کردن in a variety of real-life scenarios, from the quiet halls of a home to the bustling streets of Tehran. It is a word that permeates the daily existence of Persian speakers. One of the most common places to hear it is in the context of household chores. Parents often instruct their children to sweep their rooms, or spouses discuss who will handle the 'cleaning' (nezafat) of the house. In these settings, the word is often used in its informal form 'Jāru zadan'.
- Urban Environments
- In the early hours of the morning, you will see municipal workers (Pakban) sweeping the gutters and sidewalks. This public service is referred to as 'Jāru keshidan' or 'Jāru kardan-e khiyābān'.
- Traditional Markets (Bazaar)
- Shopkeepers in the bazaar often start their day by sweeping the area in front of their shop. This is a sign of being ready for business and respecting the customers.

In Iranian cinema and literature, 'Jāru kardan' can be a powerful image. It might represent a character's attempt to erase their past or start over. In classic Persian poetry, the 'sweeper' (Jāru-kesh) is sometimes a humble figure who cleans the path for the beloved. In news reports, you might hear it used for 'sweeping operations' (amaliyat-e paksazi) in military or police contexts, where the goal is to clear an area of threats or illegal items. This metaphorical jump from a broom to a security operation is quite common in formal Persian media.
رفتگر با مهربانی مشغول جارو کردن برگهای پاییزی بود.
Finally, in religious settings, especially during large gatherings or pilgrimages, you will see volunteers (Khādem) sweeping the courtyards of shrines. This act of 'Jāru kardan' is considered a 'Sawab' (a meritorious deed) and is performed with great devotion. Hearing the rhythmic sound of a traditional broom on stone tiles is a quintessential sensory experience in many parts of Iran and the wider Persian-speaking world.
For English speakers, the most common pitfall when using جارو کردن is forgetting its compound nature. Unlike English, where 'sweep' is a single word, Persian requires the noun 'Jāru' and the verb 'kardan' to work in tandem. Learners often try to conjugate 'Jāru' itself, which is impossible as it is a noun. Another frequent error is confusing 'Jāru kardan' with other cleaning verbs like 'Shostan' (to wash) or 'Pāk kardan' (to clean/wipe). While sweeping is a form of cleaning, it is specifically about the removal of dry debris with a broom.
- The 'Rā' Confusion
- Many learners forget to use the object marker 'rā' when they are sweeping a specific room. Saying 'Otāq jāru kardam' sounds slightly incomplete; 'Otāq rā jāru kardam' is grammatically correct for a specific room.
- Vacuuming vs. Sweeping
- Mistakenly using 'Jāru kardan' when you specifically mean using a vacuum cleaner (Jāru barghi). While often used interchangeably in casual talk, in a formal or technical context, 'Jāru barghi keshidan' is the correct term.
اشتباه: من دیروز حیاط را جارو زدم (در موقعیت رسمی).
Another mistake involves the word order. In Persian, the verb usually comes at the end of the sentence. Learners coming from English might say 'Man jāru kardam otāq rā', which is a direct translation of 'I swept the room'. The correct Persian order is 'Man otāq rā jāru kardam'. Additionally, be careful with the word 'Jāru'. It can also mean 'broom' as a noun. If you say 'Jāru kojāst?' (Where is the broom?), you are asking for the object. If you say 'Jāru kon!', you are giving an order.
درست: او همیشه قبل از خواب اتاقش را جارو میکند.
Lastly, watch out for the pronunciation of 'Jāru'. The 'u' is a long vowel, like the 'oo' in 'food'. Pronouncing it with a short 'u' can make the word unrecognizable or sound like a different dialect. Practicing the long 'u' sound will help you sound more like a native speaker and avoid confusion during conversations about cleaning or household chores.
While جارو کردن is the most common way to say 'to sweep', Persian offers several alternatives depending on the context, formality, and the specific type of cleaning involved. Understanding these synonyms will enrich your vocabulary and allow you to be more descriptive. For example, if you are talking about a very thorough cleaning, you might use 'Raft-o-rub' (cleaning and sweeping) or 'Nezafat' (general cleaning).
- Jāru Zadan (جارو زدن)
- The most common informal alternative. It literally means 'to hit the broom'. Use this with friends and family in casual settings.
- Ghubār-rubi (غبارروبی)
- A more formal or poetic term meaning 'to dust' or 'to sweep away dust'. It is often used for cleaning sacred places or during important ceremonies.
- Pāk-sāzi (پاکسازی)
- Meaning 'to purge' or 'to clear out'. This is used in organizational or military contexts rather than for daily floor cleaning.
او تمام خاطرات بد را از ذهنش جارو کرد و دور ریخت.
When comparing 'Jāru kardan' with 'Tamiz kardan' (to clean), remember that 'Tamiz kardan' is the umbrella term. You can 'clean' a car, a window, or a shirt, but you only 'sweep' (Jāru kardan) a floor or a yard. Similarly, 'Ti keshidan' (mopping) is a distinct step that often follows sweeping. In a professional cleaning contract, you might see 'Nezāfat-e koll' (total cleaning), which would include 'Jāru kardan' as one of its components. Knowing when to use the specific verb versus the general one is key to advanced proficiency.
برای تمیز کردن اساسی، اول باید جارو کنیم و بعد تی بکشیم.
Finally, consider 'Khāk-rubi' (sweeping dust). This is often used in administrative language when talking about cleaning archives or old buildings. By diversifying your use of these verbs, you can convey whether you are doing a quick casual sweep or a deep, respectful cleaning. This nuance is what separates a basic learner from a fluent speaker who understands the 'flavor' of the Persian language.
