eshtebah ast

That's wrong / Mistake

意味

Used to point out an error or incorrectness.

🌍

文化的背景

Directly telling someone 'You are wrong' is often avoided. Instead, Iranians use 'Eshtebah ast' to refer to the *thing* or use phrases like 'Maybe I am wrong, but...' to save the other person's face. In Iranian schools, 'Ghalat' (غلط) is the standard word for a wrong answer on a test, often marked with a large red cross. 'Eshtebah' is seen as a slightly softer term. On Persian social media, 'Eshtebah' is used in political and social activism, such as the hashtag #اشتباه_کردیم (We made a mistake), reflecting on collective social choices. Poets like Hafez often speak of the 'mistake' of the heart or the 'error' of the eye, using 'eshtebah' as a metaphor for the human inability to see the divine truth clearly.

🎯

The 'E' Suffix

If you want to sound like a local in Tehran, always say 'Eshtebāhe' instead of 'Eshtebāh ast'.

⚠️

Don't be too direct

Avoid saying 'In eshtebah ast' to your boss without a 'Bakhshid' (Excuse me) first.

The word itself is neutral, but 'Eshtebah ast' is formal/written, while 'Eshtebāhe' is informal/spoken.

No, for 'evil' or 'morally wrong,' use 'bad' or 'nadorost.' 'Eshtebah' is for mistakes.

'Ghalat' is more blunt and often used for objective errors (like 2+2=5), while 'Eshtebah' is broader.

Say 'Man eshtebah kardam' (من اشتباه کردم).

It can be blunt. Use 'Bakhshid' to soften it.

Yes! 'Shomareh eshtebah ast' (Wrong number).

الف-ش-ت-ب-ا-ه (A-Sh-T-B-A-H).

Yes, 'Eshtebāhāt' (اشتباهات), which is the Arabic plural form.

'Dorost ast' (It is correct).

Yes, it is understood and used in all major Persian dialects.

Yes, 'Yek eshtebah' means 'a mistake'.
