متعلق به
متعلق به 30 सेकंड में
- Means 'belonging to' or 'owned by'.
- Connects an item to its owner or origin.
- Used for both physical objects and abstract concepts.
- Essential for expressing possession and association in Persian.
- Core Meaning
- The Persian phrase 'متعلق به' (motalleq be) directly translates to 'belonging to' or 'owned by' in English. It's used to indicate possession, association, or a rightful claim over something. Think of it as a way to connect a person or entity to an object, concept, or even a place.
- Possession and Ownership
- This is the most common usage. When you want to say something belongs to someone, you'll use 'متعلق به'. For example, 'This book belongs to me' would be 'این کتاب متعلق به من است' (in ketāb motalleq be man ast). It clearly marks the owner of the item.
- Association and Connection
- Beyond physical ownership, 'متعلق به' can also express a strong association or connection. For instance, a particular style of music might be considered 'belonging to' a certain era or region. Or, a person might be 'belonging to' a specific group or organization, signifying their membership or strong ties.
- Rights and Entitlements
- In some contexts, it can imply a right or entitlement. If a certain benefit is 'belonging to' a specific category of people, it means they are entitled to receive it. This usage often appears in more formal or legalistic contexts.
- Geographical and Temporal Links
- You might hear 'متعلق به' used to link things to a place or time. For example, a tradition 'belonging to' a certain city or a historical artifact 'belonging to' a specific century. It establishes a clear link between the item and its origin or context.
The phrase 'این خانه متعلق به خانواده شماست.' (in khāneh motalleq be khānevādeh-ye shomāst.) means 'This house belongs to your family.'
When discussing art, one might say 'این سبک نقاشی متعلق به دوران صفویه است.' (in sabk-e naqqāshi motalleq be dorān-e safaviyeh ast.) meaning 'This painting style belongs to the Safavid era.'
- Grammatical Structure
- The structure is typically 'Subject + متعلق به + Object/Person'. The 'Subject' is the thing that belongs, and the 'Object/Person' is who or what it belongs to. The preposition 'به' (be) is crucial here, acting as the link.
- Formal vs. Informal
- While 'متعلق به' is standard and can be used in both formal and informal settings, in very casual speech, people might sometimes use simpler constructions or rely on context to imply belonging. However, for clarity and precision, 'متعلق به' is the go-to phrase.
In a formal document, you might read: 'این اموال متعلق به دولت جمهوری اسلامی ایران است.' (in amvāl motalleq be dowlat-e jomhuri-ye eslāmi-ye Irān ast.) - 'These assets belong to the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.'
- Basic Sentence Structure
- The most straightforward way to use 'متعلق به' is by placing the item that belongs first, followed by the phrase, and then the owner. For example: 'این کتاب متعلق به من است.' (in ketāb motalleq be man ast.) - 'This book belongs to me.' Here, 'این کتاب' (this book) is the subject, and 'من' (me) is the owner.
- Indicating Ownership of Abstract Concepts
- 'متعلق به' isn't limited to physical objects. It can also be used for abstract concepts. For instance, 'این ایده متعلق به اوست.' (in ideh motalleq be u-st.) - 'This idea belongs to him/her.' This indicates that the idea originated from or is associated with that person.
- Linking to Groups or Organizations
- You can use 'متعلق به' to show affiliation. 'او متعلق به تیم ملی است.' (u motalleq be tim-e melli ast.) - 'He belongs to the national team.' This signifies membership or strong association with the group.
- Expressing Rights or Entitlements
- In legal or official contexts, it can denote entitlement. For example, 'این تخفیف متعلق به دانشجویان است.' (in takhfif motalleq be dāneshjuyān ast.) - 'This discount belongs to the students' (meaning students are entitled to it).
- Combining with Possessive Pronouns and Nouns
- The phrase following 'به' can be a pronoun (like 'من', 'تو', 'او') or a noun phrase (like 'خانواده من', 'این شرکت'). For instance, 'این ماشین متعلق به شرکت ماست.' (in māshin motalleq be sherkat-e mā-st.) - 'This car belongs to our company.'
Sentence: 'این دفتر متعلق به رئیس جمهور است.' (in daftar motalleq be ra'is-e jomhur ast.) - 'This office belongs to the president.'
Sentence: 'این سبک موسیقی متعلق به دهه شصت میلادی بود.' (in sabk-e musiqi motalleq be daheh-ye shast-e milādi bud.) - 'This music style belonged to the 1960s.'
- Using it with Verbs
- 'متعلق به' often functions as a predicate, similar to 'is' or 'are' in English when indicating possession. It doesn't typically require another verb unless you're describing an action related to the belonging, like 'I gave the book that belongs to me'.
- Past and Future Tenses
- The phrase itself doesn't change tense. The tense is indicated by the verb 'است' (ast - is) or its past form 'بود' (bud - was). For future, you might use 'خواهد بود' (khāhad bud - will be). For example: 'این خانه متعلق به من بود.' (in khāneh motalleq be man bud.) - 'This house belonged to me.' 'این خانه متعلق به من خواهد بود.' (in khāneh motalleq be man khāhad bud.) - 'This house will belong to me.'
Sentence: 'این اطلاعات متعلق به پروژه قبلی ما بود.' (in ettelā'āt motalleq be projeh-ye qabli-ye mā bud.) - 'This information belonged to our previous project.'
Sentence: 'این زمین متعلق به نسلهای آینده خواهد بود.' (in zamīn motalleq be nasl-hā-ye āyandeh khāhad bud.) - 'This land will belong to future generations.'
- Real Estate Transactions
- In conversations about buying, selling, or renting property, 'متعلق به' is frequently used. You'll hear it in real estate agencies, during legal proceedings, or simply among friends discussing property ownership. For example, a real estate agent might say, 'این آپارتمان متعلق به یک خانواده جوان است.' (in āpārtemān motalleq be yek khānevādeh-ye javān ast.) - 'This apartment belongs to a young family.' This clearly defines who the owner is.
- Discussions about Possessions
- In everyday life, when people talk about their belongings, 'متعلق به' is the standard way to express ownership. If you lend something, you might say, 'این کتاب متعلق به من است، لطفا مراقب آن باش.' (in ketāb motalleq be man ast, lotfan morāqeb-e ān bāsh.) - 'This book belongs to me, please take care of it.' This phrase is common in family discussions, among friends, and in any situation where clarifying ownership is important.
- Legal and Official Documents
- Formal settings like contracts, wills, and official declarations heavily rely on 'متعلق به' to establish clear ownership and rights. For instance, a legal document might state, 'تمامی داراییها متعلق به ورثه خواهد بود.' (tamāmi-ye dārāyi-hā motalleq be varaseh khāhad bud.) - 'All assets will belong to the heirs.' This ensures no ambiguity.
- Academic and Historical Contexts
- When discussing history, art, or cultural heritage, 'متعلق به' is used to link artifacts, styles, or traditions to their origins. For example, a museum curator might explain, 'این اثر هنری متعلق به دوره قاجار است.' (in asar-e honari motalleq be dowreh-ye qājār ast.) - 'This artwork belongs to the Qajar period.' This helps contextualize the item.
- Business and Corporate Settings
- In business, 'متعلق به' is used to define company assets, intellectual property, or subsidiaries. A manager might say, 'این نرمافزار متعلق به شرکت ماست و کپیبرداری از آن ممنوع است.' (in narm-afzār motalleq be sherkat-e mā-st va kopi-bardāri az ān mamnu' ast.) - 'This software belongs to our company and copying it is forbidden.'
In a courtroom drama: 'این سند متعلق به متهم است.' (in sanad motalleq be moteham ast.) - 'This document belongs to the defendant.'
During a family gathering: 'این گلدان متعلق به مادربزرگ من بود.' (in guldān motalleq be mādarbozorg-e man bud.) - 'This vase belonged to my grandmother.'
- Discussions about Art and Culture
- When discussing cultural heritage or artistic movements, you'll often hear this phrase. For example, 'این موسیقی سنتی متعلق به ایران است.' (in musiqi-ye sonnati motalleq be Irān ast.) - 'This traditional music belongs to Iran.' It signifies a strong cultural link.
- Academic Lectures and Research
- In academic settings, researchers might use it to attribute findings or concepts. 'این نظریه متعلق به دانشمند آلمانی است.' (in nazariyeh motalleq be dāneshmand-e ālmāni ast.) - 'This theory belongs to the German scientist.'
In a news report about an archaeological find: 'این سکه متعلق به دوران هخامنشی است.' (in sekkeh motalleq be dorān-e hakhāmaneshi ast.) - 'This coin belongs to the Achaemenid era.'
During a business negotiation: 'این حق امتیاز متعلق به شرکت ماست.' (in haqq-e emtiyāz motalleq be sherkat-e mā-st.) - 'This patent belongs to our company.'
- Confusing 'متعلق به' with Direct Possession
- A common pitfall for learners is trying to directly translate English possessive structures. For instance, instead of saying 'My car', you might incorrectly try to form a sentence using 'متعلق به' in a way that doesn't fit. The correct way to say 'my car' is 'ماشین من' (māshin-e man). If you want to say 'This car belongs to me', you use 'این ماشین متعلق به من است' (in māshin motalleq be man ast). Don't use 'متعلق به' where a simple possessive suffix or pronoun would suffice.
- Incorrect Preposition Usage
- The phrase is 'متعلق به'. Learners might sometimes omit the 'به' (be) or use a different preposition. For example, saying 'متعلق من' (motalleq man) is incorrect. The preposition 'به' is essential for connecting 'متعلق' (belonging) to the owner. Always remember the 'به'!
- Overuse in Casual Conversation
- While 'متعلق به' is perfectly acceptable in most situations, in very informal chat among close friends, native speakers might opt for simpler phrasing or rely on context to imply possession. For example, instead of 'این گوشی متعلق به من است' (in gushi motalleq be man ast), they might just say 'این گوشی منه' (in gushi-ye man-e), which is a more colloquial way of saying 'This is my phone'. Using 'متعلق به' too formally in such contexts can sound a bit stiff.
- Confusing with Similar-Sounding Words
- Persian has many words that sound similar. Learners might mistakenly use a word that sounds like 'motalleq' but has a different meaning. It's important to practice pronunciation and distinguish 'متعلق' from other words. For example, words related to 'complete' or 'absolute' might have similar phonetic structures but different meanings and spellings.
- Incorrect Placement in Complex Sentences
- When constructing more complex sentences with multiple clauses, learners might misplace 'متعلق به' or attach it incorrectly. For instance, if you're describing an action involving something that belongs to someone, ensure the 'متعلق به' phrase clearly modifies the correct noun. The standard structure of 'Subject + متعلق به + Owner' should be maintained as much as possible for clarity.
Incorrect: 'این کتاب متعلق من است.' (in ketāb motalleq man ast.) Correct: 'این کتاب متعلق به من است.' (in ketāb motalleq be man ast.)
Incorrect: 'ماشین متعلق او.' (māshin motalleq u.) Correct: 'ماشین متعلق به او است.' (māshin motalleq be u ast.) or simply 'ماشین او' (māshin-e u.)
- Ignoring Context for Formality
- While 'متعلق به' is not inherently informal, its directness can sometimes be perceived as slightly more formal than colloquial alternatives. In very relaxed settings, learners might sound overly formal by consistently using it when a simpler possessive construction would be more natural.
Incorrect: 'این پول متعلق به من است.' (in pul motalleq be man ast.) when casually asking for change. A more natural phrasing might be 'ممکنه این پول رو به من بدی؟' (momken-e in pul-ro be man bedi?) - 'Could you give me this money?'
Incorrect: Trying to use 'متعلق به' to describe a relationship like 'friend of mine'. The correct way is 'دوست من' (dust-e man).
- Simple Possession: Suffixes and Pronouns
- The most common alternative is simply using possessive suffixes attached to nouns or using possessive pronouns. This is generally more concise and natural for everyday possession.
'متعلق به': 'این کتاب متعلق به من است.' (in ketāb motalleq be man ast.) - 'This book belongs to me.' (More formal, explicit)
Simple Possession: 'این کتاب من است.' (in ketāb-e man ast.) - 'This book is mine.' (More common, direct)
Simple Possession: 'کتاب من' (ketāb-e man) - 'My book' (Noun + possessive pronoun)
For example, instead of saying 'ماشین متعلق به او است' (māshin motalleq be u ast - The car belongs to him), it's more natural to say 'ماشین او است' (māshin-e u ast - It is his car) or simply 'ماشین او' (māshin-e u - His car). - 'از آنِ' (Az ān-e) - Belonging to
- This phrase is very similar in meaning to 'متعلق به' and is often interchangeable, though it can sometimes sound slightly more emphatic or literary.
'متعلق به': 'این خانه متعلق به پدربزرگ من است.' (in khāneh motalleq be pedarbozorg-e man ast.) - 'This house belongs to my grandfather.'
'از آنِ': 'این خانه از آنِ پدربزرگ من است.' (in khāneh az ān-e pedarbozorg-e man ast.) - 'This house belongs to my grandfather.'
The structure is 'Item + از آنِ + Owner'. It's a good alternative when you want to clearly state ownership, especially when the owner is a pronoun or a specific noun. - Possessive 'ezafe' Construction
- The 'ezafe' construction (using the '-e' sound or implied connection) is the most fundamental way to show possession or attribute. It's used for a vast range of relationships, including ownership.
'متعلق به': 'این حقوق متعلق به کارگران است.' (in hoquq motalleq be kārgarān ast.) - 'These rights belong to the workers.' (More formal)
'ezafe': 'حقوق کارگران' (hoquq-e kārgarān) - 'The workers' rights' (Direct attribution)
While 'متعلق به' explicitly states belonging, the 'ezafe' construction implies it through grammatical connection. For instance, 'کتاب معلم' (ketāb-e mo'allem) means 'the teacher's book', directly showing possession. - 'مالِ' (Māl-e) - Property of; Belonging to
- 'مالِ' is another word that signifies ownership, often used for tangible property. It's generally more informal than 'متعلق به' and can sometimes carry a sense of 'stuff' or 'belongings'.
'متعلق به': 'این گوشی متعلق به من است.' (in gushi motalleq be man ast.) - 'This phone belongs to me.'
'مالِ': 'این گوشی مال منه.' (in gushi māl-e man-e.) - 'This phone is mine.' (More colloquial)
You'll often hear 'مالِ' in everyday conversations when referring to personal belongings. - Contextual Implication
- In many situations, the context makes ownership clear without needing an explicit phrase like 'متعلق به'. If you're holding a pen and someone asks 'Whose is that?', simply saying 'Mine' ('مال من' - māl-e man, or 'منه' - man-e) is sufficient.
'متعلق به': 'این قلم متعلق به شماست.' (in qalam motalleq be shomā-st.) - 'This pen belongs to you.' (Explicit statement)
Contextual: If you are handing the pen to the owner, they will understand it's theirs without this phrase.
Comparison: 'این ماشین متعلق به شرکت است.' (in māshin motalleq be sherkat ast.) vs. 'این ماشینِ شرکت است.' (in māshin-e sherkat ast.) - The first is more explicit about belonging, while the second directly attributes the car to the company.
Comparison: 'این ایده متعلق به اوست.' (in ideh motalleq be u-st.) vs. 'این ایده اوست.' (in ideh-ye u-st.) - The first emphasizes that the idea is *his/hers*, while the second is more like 'This is his/her idea'.
How Formal Is It?
रोचक तथ्य
The root 'ع ل ق' in Arabic also gives us words related to 'embryo' (عَلَقَة - 'alaqah) because it 'hangs' in the womb, and 'leech' (عَلَق - 'alaq) because it 'attaches' itself. This connection to 'attaching' and 'hanging' is the core idea behind 'متعلق'.
उच्चारण मार्गदर्शिका
- Pronouncing the 'q' sound as a simple 'k' or 'g'.
- Omitting the glottal stop at the beginning of 'متعلق'.
- Pronouncing 'به' with too much emphasis.
- Confusing the vowel sounds, especially the 'e' sounds.
- Incorrectly stressing syllables in 'متعلق'.
कठिनाई स्तर
Recognizable once learned, but the structure and meaning require understanding of Persian grammar. CEFR B1 level is appropriate for comfortable recognition.
Requires understanding of sentence structure and correct use of the preposition 'به'. Proper placement is key.
Pronunciation needs practice, especially the 'q' sound and glottal stop. Fluency comes with practice in constructing sentences.
Understanding depends on clear pronunciation from the speaker and familiarity with the phrase's context.

philosophical/poeticआसानी से भ्रमित होने वाले
It's the root word and noun form, but 'متعلق به' is the adjectival/prepositional phrase used to express belonging.
'تعلق' (ta'alloq) is the noun meaning 'attachment' or 'belonging'. 'متعلق به' (motalleq be) is the phrase used to state that something *is* attached or belongs to someone. You would say 'احساس تعلق' (ehsās-e ta'alloq - feeling of belonging) but 'این خانه متعلق به من است' (in khāneh motalleq be man ast - this house belongs to me).
من احساس تعلق به این خانه دارم. (I feel a sense of belonging to this house.) vs. این خانه متعلق به من است. (This house belongs to me.)
Both can relate to attribution, but 'متعلق به' is for ownership/possession, while 'نسبت دادن' is for assigning credit or cause.
'متعلق به' signifies ownership or direct association. 'نسبت دادن' (nesbat dādan) means 'to attribute' or 'to ascribe'. You attribute an action or quality to someone, but something belongs to them. For example, 'این موفقیت متعلق به اوست.' (This success belongs to him.) but 'این موفقیت به او نسبت داده شد.' (This success was attributed to him.)
این ایده متعلق به من است. (This idea belongs to me.) vs. این حرف به او نسبت داده شد. (This statement was attributed to him.)
Both suggest a connection, but 'متعلق به' is about ownership, while 'وابسته' is about dependence or relation.
'متعلق به' means 'belonging to' or 'owned by'. 'وابسته' (vābasté) means 'dependent on' or 'related to'. Something can be dependent on a system without belonging to it. For example, 'این بخش وابسته به بخش مالی است.' (This department is dependent on the finance department.) but 'این بودجه متعلق به بخش مالی است.' (This budget belongs to the finance department.)
این شرکت وابسته به دولت است. (This company is dependent on the government.) vs. این ساختمان متعلق به دولت است. (This building belongs to the government.)
Both indicate a connection, but 'متعلق به' is stronger for ownership.
'متعلق به' signifies a definitive belonging or ownership. 'مربوط' (marbut) means 'related to' or 'relevant to'. Something can be related to a topic without belonging to it. For instance, 'این موضوع مربوط به بحث ما نیست.' (This topic is not related to our discussion.) but 'این کتاب متعلق به بحث ما نیست.' (This book does not belong to our discussion - implying it's not relevant to the topic.)
این مسئله مربوط به حقوق کارگران است. (This issue is related to workers' rights.) vs. این حقوق متعلق به کارگران است. (These rights belong to the workers.)
Both imply a specific association, but 'متعلق به' is broader for ownership, while 'مختص' emphasizes exclusivity.
'متعلق به' means 'belonging to'. 'مختص' (mokhtass) means 'exclusive to' or 'specific to'. While something exclusive to someone often belongs to them, 'مختص' highlights that *only* that person or group has access or claim. For example, 'این اتاق متعلق به مدیر است.' (This room belongs to the manager.) but 'این اتاق مختص مدیر است.' (This room is exclusively for the manager - implying others cannot use it.)
این صندلی متعلق به معلم است. (This chair belongs to the teacher.) vs. این صندلی مختص معلم است. (This chair is exclusively for the teacher.)

सुझाव
The Crucial 'به'
Never forget the preposition 'به' (be) when using 'متعلق'. It's the connector that links the item to its owner. Omitting it is a common mistake. Think of it as 'attached *to*'.
Visual Hook
Remember the Arabic root 'ع ل ق' meaning 'to hang'. Imagine an item literally 'hanging' onto its owner. This visual can help you recall the meaning of 'متعلق' as 'attached to' or 'belonging to'.
Mastering the 'Q'
The 'ق' in 'متعلق' is a guttural sound made at the back of the throat. Practice this sound. Also, be mindful of the glottal stop at the beginning of 'متعلق'.
Alternatives for Simplicity
For everyday, informal possession, simpler structures like 'کتاب من' (my book) or 'این مال من است' (this is mine) are often more natural than 'این کتاب متعلق به من است'. Use 'متعلق به' when you need more formality or explicit emphasis.
Sentence Building
Actively create sentences using 'متعلق به' with different owners (people, companies, abstract concepts) and items. Try to use it in both past and future tenses by changing the main verb (است, بود, خواهد بود).
Cultural Significance
In Persian culture, clearly defining ownership and heritage is important. 'متعلق به' plays a role in formal contexts like legal documents and discussions about national or familial legacies.
Predicate Function
'متعلق به' often functions as a predicate, similar to 'is' or 'are' in English when indicating possession. It connects the subject (the item) to its owner or affiliation.
Contextual Learning
Instead of just memorizing the phrase, learn it through examples in different contexts – a real estate ad, a historical text, a personal conversation. This will help you understand its nuances.
Identify and Use
When you encounter 'متعلق به' in your reading or listening, actively identify what belongs to what. Then, try to use it yourself when describing possessions or affiliations.
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
Imagine something 'hanging' (like the Arabic root suggests) onto someone. For example, a backpack 'hanging' onto a student. That backpack 'متعلق به' (motalleq be) the student. Or, think of the 'q' sound in 'motalleq' as a hook that 'attaches' the item to the owner.
दृश्य संबंध
Picture a key chain with multiple keys. Each key 'hangs' from the main ring, and the whole chain 'hangs' from a person's belt. Each element is 'متعلق به' the person or the other elements.

Try to describe five things in your home and state who they belong to using 'متعلق به'. For example, 'این مبل متعلق به پدرم است.' (in mobl motalleq be padaram ast.) - 'This sofa belongs to my father.'
शब्द की उत्पत्ति
The word 'متعلق' (motalleq) originates from the Arabic root 'ع ل ق' (ʿ-l-q), which relates to hanging, attaching, or being suspended. In Persian, it evolved to mean 'belonging to', 'attached to', or 'related to'. The preposition 'به' (be) is crucial for its function as 'belonging to'.
मूल अर्थ: From Arabic, related to 'hanging' or 'suspending'.
Semitic (Arabic origin, adopted into Persian)सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ
When discussing ownership of sensitive items like inheritance or property, using 'متعلق به' clearly and respectfully is important. Ensure the context is appropriate for discussing ownership.
In English, we often use possessive 's (e.g., 'John's car') or possessive pronouns (e.g., 'my book'). 'Belonging to' is a more direct translation of 'متعلق به' and is used when emphasis is needed or in more formal contexts.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThe most direct English translations of 'متعلق به' are 'belonging to' and 'owned by'. It's used to express possession or affiliation clearly and explicitly.
Yes, absolutely. 'متعلق به' is very versatile and can be used for abstract concepts. For example, 'این ایده متعلق به اوست' (This idea belongs to him/her) or 'این حقوق متعلق به شهروندان است' (These rights belong to the citizens).
Yes. Using possessive pronouns or the 'ezafe' construction (like 'کتاب من' - my book) is often more concise and natural for everyday possession. 'متعلق به' is generally used when you want to be more explicit, formal, or emphasize the act of belonging or ownership. For instance, 'این کتاب من است' (This book is mine) is common, while 'این کتاب متعلق به من است' (This book belongs to me) adds a bit more emphasis or formality.
You can ask 'متعلق به چه کسی است؟' (motalleq be che kasi ast?) for people or 'متعلق به چه چیزی است؟' (motalleq be che chizi ast?) for objects or abstract things. For example, 'این کیف متعلق به چه کسی است؟' (Whose bag is this?).
Yes. The phrase 'متعلق به' itself doesn't change. The tense is indicated by the verb that follows it. For example: 'این خانه متعلق به من بود.' (in khāneh motalleq be man bud.) - 'This house belonged to me.' And 'این خانه متعلق به من خواهد بود.' (in khāneh motalleq be man khāhad bud.) - 'This house will belong to me.'
Common mistakes include omitting the preposition 'به', using it where a simpler possessive construction is more natural, and mispronouncing the word 'متعلق'. Also, understanding the context to know when it's appropriate is key.
'متعلق به' is appropriate in both formal and informal settings, but it tends to lean towards more neutral to formal usage. In very casual conversation, simpler phrases might be preferred, but 'متعلق به' is always understood and correct for clear communication of ownership.
The word 'متعلق' comes from Arabic. The root 'ع ل ق' relates to hanging or attaching, so 'متعلق' originally implied something that hangs or is attached to something else, which evolved into the meaning of 'belonging to'.
Yes, 'از آنِ' (az ān-e) is very similar and often interchangeable. 'مالِ' (māl-e) is a more colloquial alternative for tangible possessions. 'وابسته به' (related to) and 'مربوط به' (pertaining to) indicate connection but not necessarily ownership.
Try describing items around you and stating who they belong to. For example, 'This chair belongs to my mother.' Or, create sentences about historical artifacts belonging to a certain era. Practice asking 'Whose is this?' as well.
