B1 adjective #6,500 सबसे आम 7 मिनट पढ़ने का समय

نیم پز

Half-cooked, partially cooked.

nim paz शीर्ष 6,500

At the A1 level, you only need to know that 'Nim-paz' means 'half-cooked'. It is a combination of 'Nim' (half) and 'Paz' (cook). You can use it simply to describe food that is not ready yet. For example, 'The egg is half-cooked' or 'The potato is half-cooked'. It is helpful when you are in a kitchen or a restaurant and want to say that the food needs more time on the stove. Think of it as 'not finished cooking'. At this stage, don't worry about metaphorical meanings. Just focus on food like eggs, potatoes, and meat. If you see 'Nim-paz' in a recipe, it usually means you should stop cooking for a moment or move to the next step. It is a very common word in Iranian homes because of how they cook rice. Most Iranian children learn this word early because they are told not to eat 'nim-paz' food as it might make their stomach hurt. Just remember: Nim = Half, Paz = Cook.

At the A2 level, you can start using 'Nim-paz' in slightly more complex sentences. You should be able to use it with verbs like 'shodan' (to become) and 'kardan' (to make). For example, 'Beranj nim-paz shod' (The rice became half-cooked). You should also recognize that this is a compound word. In Persian, we often combine words to make new adjectives. You can use 'nim-paz' to give instructions. If you are helping someone cook, you might say, 'Please make the meat nim-paz'. This shows you understand that cooking has different stages. You might also notice that 'nim-paz' is used specifically for things that use heat. You wouldn't use it for a salad, but you would use it for a soup or a stew. It's also a good time to learn the difference between 'Kham' (raw) and 'Nim-paz'. 'Kham' is like a raw carrot, but 'Nim-paz' is a carrot that has been in boiling water for 2 minutes. It's softer than raw but harder than fully cooked.

As a B1 learner, you should understand 'Nim-paz' as a specific culinary term and start exploring its metaphorical uses. In Persian culture, 'nim-paz' is a crucial state for making 'Ab-kesh' rice. You should know that rice is boiled until 'nim-paz' and then drained. This is a key part of Persian identity and cooking. You should also be able to use 'nim-paz' to describe abstract things like a 'plan' (tarh) or an 'idea' (ideh). If you say 'The plan is nim-paz', it means it's not fully thought out. This is a very natural way to speak in a professional or academic setting in Iran. You should also be comfortable with the word's placement in sentences, often acting as a result of a process. For example, 'I parboiled the beans' (Loobiya-ha ra nim-paz kardam). At this level, you are moving beyond just 'food' and using the word to describe the 'readiness' of various situations. It's about the nuance of being 'partially done'.

At the B2 level, you should be able to use 'Nim-paz' with precision and understand its synonyms like 'Kam-pokht'. You should understand the stylistic choice of using 'nim-paz' in literature or news to describe political or social situations that are underdeveloped. For instance, a 'nim-paz' law is one that was passed too quickly without enough debate. You should also be aware of the culinary expectations in Iran; 'nim-paz' is often a negative descriptor if the final dish is served that way, unless it's a 'soft-boiled egg' (tokhm-e morgh-e nim-paz). You can use it in conditional sentences: 'If the meat remains nim-paz, the stew won't taste good'. You should also be able to explain the etymological root 'Paz' and how it relates to other words like 'Ash-paz' (cook/chef) or 'Pazandeh' (cooker). Your vocabulary should now include the ability to distinguish between 'nim-paz' (partially cooked by heat) and 'nimeh-kareh' (half-finished for general tasks).

At the C1 level, you should have a sophisticated grasp of 'Nim-paz' and be able to use it in nuanced discussions about Persian cuisine, sociology, or even psychology. You might discuss the 'nim-paz' state of a developing economy or a 'nim-paz' educational reform. You should be able to use it in complex grammatical structures, such as gerunds or as part of more formal compound verbs like 'nim-paz nemudan'. You should also understand the cultural weight of the word—how it relates to the Persian value of 'sabr' (patience) in cooking. A dish that is served 'nim-paz' is a sign of a 'vaghe-bin' (unrealistic) or 'ajool' (hurried) cook. You can use it to critique art or literature, describing a character development that feels 'nim-paz' or incomplete. Your understanding should include the subtle difference between 'nim-paz' and 'maghz-pokht nashodeh' (not cooked to the core), where the latter is a more technical and sometimes more critical observation of a cooking error.

At the C2 level, 'Nim-paz' is a tool for mastery. You can use it in poetic or highly rhetorical ways. You might use it to describe a 'nim-paz' soul—someone who has not yet been 'tempered' by the fires of life's experiences. You should be able to engage in deep culinary discourse, debating the exact moment rice transitions from 'kham' to 'nim-paz' for different varieties of long-grain rice like 'Sadri' or 'Hashemi'. You should understand how 'nim-paz' functions in various dialects or how it might have evolved from Middle Persian roots. Your usage should be indistinguishable from a native speaker, using it effortlessly in idioms or as a sharp, concise critique in a high-level meeting. You should also be able to play with the word, perhaps creating neologisms or using it in wordplay (pun) with other 'nim-' or '-paz' words. At this level, 'nim-paz' is not just about a half-cooked potato; it's a conceptual category of 'in-betweenness' that you can apply to any facet of the human experience.

نیم پز 30 सेकंड में

Nim-paz means half-cooked or partially cooked.
It is a compound of 'Nim' (half) and 'Paz' (cook).
Commonly used for parboiled rice and soft-boiled eggs.
Metaphorically describes half-baked or incomplete ideas.

The Persian word نیم پز (Nim-paz) is a compound adjective that literally translates to 'half-cooked.' In the rich tapestry of Persian linguistics, this word is primarily used in culinary contexts, but it extends its reach into metaphorical descriptions of incomplete processes or 'half-baked' ideas. When you encounter نیم پز, you are looking at something that has undergone some heat treatment but has not yet reached its final state of edibility or completion.

Culinary Precision: In the Persian kitchen, 'nim-paz' is a technical stage. For instance, when preparing the famous Persian rice (Chelow), the grains must be parboiled until they are nim-paz—soft on the outside but still firm or 'al dente' in the middle—before they are drained and steamed to perfection.

برنج هنوز نیم پز است و باید بیشتر بجوشد.

(The rice is still half-cooked and needs to boil more.)

Metaphorical Depth: Beyond the stove, 'nim-paz' can describe a plan that lacks detail or a student's knowledge that is superficial. It implies a state of being 'underdone' or lacking the necessary 'heat' of effort or time to be considered ready.

گوشت را نیم پز کن و بعد سبزیجات را اضافه کن.

(Cook the meat halfway and then add the vegetables.)

Linguistic Structure: The word consists of 'Nim' (half) and 'Paz' (from the root of 'Pokhtan', to cook). It is a highly productive compound, similar to 'Nim-taneh' (half-body/vest) or 'Nim-rokh' (profile/half-face).

تخم‌مرغ نیم پز برای صبحانه بسیار مقوی است.

(A soft-boiled egg is very nutritious for breakfast.)

Understanding this word requires an appreciation for the 'middle state.' It is not 'Kham' (raw), nor is it 'Pokhteh' (cooked). It exists in the transition. This distinction is vital for anyone following Persian recipes, where timing is everything. Whether you are discussing the 'al dente' nature of pasta or the early stages of a 'Khoresht' (stew), 'nim-paz' is your go-to descriptor for that specific phase of transformation by fire.

Using نیم پز effectively requires understanding its role as an adjective and how it interacts with verbs like 'kardan' (to do/make) and 'shodan' (to become). It usually follows the noun it describes or functions as a predicate adjective.

As a Predicate: When you want to say 'The food is half-cooked,' you place 'nim-paz' after the subject. For example: 'Ghaza nim-paz ast.' This is the most straightforward usage.

این سیب‌زمینی‌ها هنوز نیم پز هستند؛ لطفاً بیشتر سرخشان کن.

(These potatoes are still half-cooked; please fry them more.)

Compound Verb Formation: 'Nim-paz kardan' means to parboil or partially cook. This is a common instruction in Persian cookbooks. 'Nim-paz shodan' means to become partially cooked.

او همیشه حبوبات را قبل از پختن، نیم پز می‌کند.

(He always parboils the legumes before cooking.)

Describing Texture: You can use 'nim-paz' to describe the desired state of an ingredient. 'Nokhod-farangi-ye nim-paz' (half-cooked peas) suggests a crunchiness that 'pokhteh' (fully cooked) lacks.

در این مرحله، پیازها باید فقط نیم پز و شفاف شوند.

(At this stage, the onions should only become half-cooked and translucent.)

In formal writing, 'nim-paz' remains the same, but you might see it paired with more complex verbs like 'nemudan' instead of 'kardan'. For example, 'Nim-paz nemudan-e goosht' (The partial cooking of the meat). In casual speech, it is often shortened in pronunciation, but the spelling remains consistent. It is a versatile tool for any speaker looking to add precision to their descriptions of states of readiness.

You will hear نیم پز most frequently in domestic and professional kitchens. If you are watching a Persian cooking show on VOD or YouTube, the chef will inevitably use this word when explaining how to prepare 'Rice' or 'Legumes.'

The Kitchen Environment: Mothers and grandmothers often use 'nim-paz' as a warning. 'Don't turn off the stove yet, the meat is still nim-paz!' It implies that the food is not yet safe or pleasant to eat.

آشپز گفت: برنج را وقتی نیم پز شد آبکش کنید.

(The chef said: Drain the rice when it becomes half-cooked.)

Restaurants and Cafes: In a trendy Tehran cafe, you might order 'Tokhm-e morgh-e nim-paz' if you want a soft-boiled egg with your avocado toast. It is the standard way to specify your preference for yolk consistency.

این طرح هنوز نیم پز است و نیاز به بررسی بیشتری دارد.

(This plan is still half-baked and needs more investigation.)

Health and Safety: Health inspectors or doctors might use the term when discussing food-borne illnesses. 'Eating nim-paz chicken is dangerous' (Khordan-e morgh-e nim-paz khatarnak ast).

مراقب باش! گوشت مرغ نباید نیم پز بماند.

(Watch out! Chicken meat should not remain half-cooked.)

In summary, 'nim-paz' is a word of the domestic sphere, the culinary arts, and the boardroom. It bridges the gap between the raw and the refined, making it an essential adjective for describing anything in progress.

One of the most frequent errors learners make is confusing نیم پز with 'Kham' (raw) or 'Nares' (unripe). While all three describe things that aren't fully ready, they are not interchangeable.

Nim-paz vs. Kham: 'Kham' means completely raw, having seen no heat. 'Nim-paz' means it has started cooking. If you tell a waiter your steak is 'kham', you mean it's cold and raw. If you say 'nim-paz', you mean it's medium-rare or underdone for your taste.

اشتباه: این میوه نیم پز است. درست: این میوه کال یا نارس است.

(Wrong: This fruit is half-cooked. Right: This fruit is unripe.)

Nim-paz vs. Nares: 'Nares' or 'Kal' is used for biological growth, like fruit or vegetables on a tree. You cannot use 'nim-paz' for a green banana. 'Nim-paz' requires the intervention of a stove or oven.

استیک من نیم پز بود، اما من آن را کاملاً پخته می‌خواستم.

(My steak was medium/underdone, but I wanted it well-done.)

Spelling Confusion: Some learners write 'nim paz' as two separate words without the half-space (Z-wnj). While understandable, the standard Persian orthography prefers the joined or half-spaced 'نیم‌پز' to indicate it is a single lexical unit.

خورشت باید جا بیفتد، الان فقط نیم پز شده است.

(The stew needs to settle/thicken; right now it is only half-cooked.)

Another mistake is using 'nim-paz' to mean 'warm'. If food is lukewarm, the word is 'velarm'. 'Nim-paz' specifically refers to the internal state of the proteins or starches being partially denatured or gelatinized by heat.

To truly master the concept of نیم پز, it helps to look at its neighbors in the Persian vocabulary. Depending on what you are cooking or discussing, other words might be more precise.

Kam-pokht (کم‌پخت): Literally 'little-cooked'. This is often used for meat or steak to describe 'rare' or 'medium-rare' settings. It is slightly more formal than 'nim-paz' in restaurant settings.

من استیک کم‌پخت را به نیم پز ترجیح می‌دهم.

(I prefer rare steak to half-cooked.)

Ab-kesh (آبکش): This is a verb/noun related to the process of draining rice. When rice is 'nim-paz', it is time to 'ab-kesh' it. You will hear these words together constantly in recipes.

برنج را در حالت نیم پز بردارید.

(Remove the rice while in the half-cooked state.)

Nakhosh-pokht (ناخوش‌پخت): A rare term for food that is difficult to cook or remains tough despite cooking. Unlike 'nim-paz', which is a temporary stage, this describes a quality of the ingredient itself.

این گوشت ناخوش‌پخت است و نیم پز مانده.

(This meat is hard-to-cook and has remained half-cooked.)

In metaphorical contexts, you might use 'Na-tamam' (incomplete) or 'Kham' (immature/raw). If a plan is 'nim-paz', it is 'Na-tamam'. If a person is inexperienced, they are 'Kham'. Understanding these nuances allows you to transition from a B1 learner to a more fluent, expressive speaker who can choose the exact 'temperature' of their words.

The root 'Paz' is found in many Persian words related to food, including 'Ash-paz' (stew-maker/chef) and 'Nan-paz' (bread-maker). It is cognate with the Latin 'coquere', which gives us 'cook' in English!

Be careful when using 'nim-paz' to describe someone's work; it can be seen as patronizing or overly critical.

In English, we say 'half-baked' mostly for ideas. In Persian, 'nim-paz' is used equally for food and ideas.

Persian cookbooks by Roza Montazemi often use 'nim-paz' as a technical instruction. In Rumi's poetry, the concept of being 'raw' (kham) vs 'cooked' (pokhteh) is a central metaphor for spiritual growth. Modern Iranian cinema often uses 'nim-paz' to describe the state of social reforms.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

10 सवाल

No, for fruit that is not ready to eat, you should use 'Kal' or 'Nares'. 'Nim-paz' specifically implies that heat was used to cook it partially.

'Nim-ro' is a noun specifically meaning a fried egg (sunny side up or over easy). 'Nim-paz' is an adjective meaning half-cooked. You can have a 'Tokhm-e morgh-e nim-paz' (soft-boiled egg), but a 'Nim-ro' is always made in a pan with oil.

It depends. In a recipe, it's a neutral, helpful instruction. If you are served 'nim-paz' food that should be fully cooked, it's negative. Metaphorically, it's almost always a negative critique of an idea or plan.

You can say 'Berenj-e nim-paz'. This refers to the rice after it has been boiled but before it is steamed.

Usually, we use 'Kham' (raw) for underbaked bread, but 'Nim-paz' is occasionally understood. However, 'Kham' is more natural for doughy bread.

The most common opposite is 'Pokhteh' (cooked). For something very well cooked, you can use 'Maghz-pokht'.

It describes a 'half-baked' proposal or plan that hasn't been thought through properly. 'In tarh hanooz nim-paz ast' (This plan is still half-baked).

It is close, but 'Kam-pokht' is the more standard term for medium-rare in a restaurant. 'Nim-paz' sounds a bit more like a mistake in that context.

In modern Persian, it is written with a half-space (Z-wnj): 'نیم‌پز'. This keeps the two parts together as one word.

Yes, but it's metaphorical and slightly literary. It means the person is not yet 'mature' or 'tempered' by experience.
