دلخورانه 30秒で
- Delkhorāne is a Persian adverb meaning 'resentfully' or 'annoyedly', used to describe actions done with hurt feelings.
- It comes from 'del' (heart) and 'khor' (eating), suggesting a heart being consumed by a perceived slight or disappointment.
- It is less intense than pure anger but more specific than general sadness, often used in personal relationship contexts.
- Commonly used with verbs of speaking, looking, or reacting to show that someone feels undervalued or ignored.
The Persian word دلخورانه (delkhorāne) is a sophisticated adverb that captures a very specific emotional state common in Iranian social interactions. To understand it, we must first break down its components. It consists of 'del' (heart), 'khor' (the root of 'khordan', to eat or consume), and the suffix 'āne' which transforms nouns or adjectives into adverbs or descriptive adjectives. Literally, it suggests something done in a 'heart-consuming' or 'heart-eaten' manner. In English, we translate it as 'resentfully', 'annoyedly', or 'with a slighted tone'. However, these English terms often carry a sharper edge than the Persian original. 'Delkhorāne' describes an action performed by someone who feels hurt, neglected, or mildly offended, but who isn't necessarily expressing explosive anger. It is the language of the 'slighted' heart.
- Emotional Nuance
- It suggests a mix of sadness and irritation. When someone speaks 'delkhorāne', they want you to know they are upset without having to say 'I am angry'.
او دلخورانه به من نگاه کرد چون تولدش را فراموش کرده بودم.
In Iranian culture, where indirect communication and 'Ta'arof' (the complex system of etiquette) play a massive role, 'delkhorāne' is a key descriptor for social friction. It is often used in the context of family disputes, friendships where expectations weren't met, or professional settings where someone feels undervalued. Unlike 'asabāni' (angry), which is external and loud, 'delkhori' is internal and heavy. When you do something 'delkhorāne', you are signaling a breach in the emotional contract between two people. It is the adverb of the 'cold shoulder' or the 'heavy sigh'.
- Common Verb Pairings
- It is frequently paired with verbs of communication or perception: 'goftan' (to say), 'neveshtan' (to write), 'negāh kardan' (to look), and 'raftār kardan' (to behave).

The beauty of this word lies in its ability to paint a picture of a person's inner world. If you say someone spoke 'delkhorāne', a Persian speaker immediately envisions a specific posture: perhaps slightly turned away, a lower tone of voice, or a lack of the usual warmth. It is a word that demands empathy or at least acknowledgement of a grievance. In modern social media contexts, a 'delkhorāne' message might be one that is unusually short or lacks the typical emojis, signaling that the sender is 'delkhor' (upset/resentful).
Using 'delkhorāne' correctly requires understanding its position as an adverb. In Persian syntax, adverbs typically precede the verb they modify, though they can sometimes appear earlier in the sentence for emphasis. Because 'delkhorāne' describes the *manner* of an action, it is most powerful when it immediately precedes verbs related to expression. For instance, 'delkhorāne javāb dād' (replied resentfully) tells us not just that they replied, but that the emotional weight of their resentment was carried in that reply. It adds a layer of psychological depth to your descriptions that simple adjectives like 'nārāhat' (unhappy) cannot achieve.
- Structural Placement
- Subject + (Adverbial Phrase) + دلخورانه + Verb. Example: 'Ali delkhorāne otāgh rā tark kard' (Ali left the room resentfully).
چرا اینقدر دلخورانه با من صحبت میکنی؟
When using this word, consider the intensity. It is a 'B1' level word because it moves beyond basic emotions. It implies a history. You aren't 'delkhorāne' at a stranger who bumps into you on the street (that would be 'asabāni' or 'shāki'); you are 'delkhorāne' towards someone you care about or someone who owes you a certain level of respect or attention. Therefore, it is perfectly suited for describing interpersonal dynamics in novels, movies, or deep conversations about relationships. It captures that 'stinging' feeling of a perceived slight.
او دلخورانه سرش را تکان داد و رفت.
In formal writing, 'delkhorāne' can be used to describe the tone of a letter or a formal complaint that is not yet an outright accusation but expresses dissatisfaction. For example, 'Vey delkhorāne az adam-e tavajjoh-e mas'oolin goft' (He spoke resentfully about the lack of attention from officials). Here, it conveys a sense of being let down by a system or person. It is a very versatile word that bridges the gap between personal hurt and professional dissatisfaction.
You will hear 'delkhorāne' most frequently in domestic settings and in Iranian media that focuses on social and family dynamics. If you watch a Persian 'Serial' (TV soap opera), you will inevitably see a character who feels slighted—perhaps a mother-in-law who wasn't consulted about a dinner menu, or a sibling who feels forgotten. The narrator or other characters might describe their behavior as 'delkhorāne'. It is a staple of the 'emotional vocabulary' of everyday Iranian life. In a culture where 'Ghele' (complaining/venting) is a common way to process social friction, 'delkhorāne' describes the delivery of those complaints.
- Cultural Context: Ghahr
- The Iranian concept of 'Ghahr' (the silent treatment or a period of non-communication after a fight) often begins with 'delkhorāne' behavior. It is the precursor to a full social break.
مادرم دلخورانه از آشپزخانه بیرون آمد.
In literature, authors use this word to provide subtext. Instead of saying 'He was sad', saying 'He spoke delkhorāne' tells the reader that there is a specific cause for this sadness—a perceived injustice or a lack of affection. Great Persian writers like Simin Daneshvar or Zoya Pirzad often use such descriptive adverbs to build the internal atmosphere of their characters' lives. It reflects a world where emotions are often veiled but deeply felt.
او دلخورانه به دوستانش پشت کرد.
Even in modern Iranian pop music, you'll find lyrics describing a lover's 'delkhorāne' gaze. It’s a word that resonates because it touches on the universal human experience of feeling unappreciated. If you are living in an Iranian household or spending time with Persian speakers, using this word correctly to describe a situation will show a very high level of cultural and linguistic fluency. It shows you understand the 'del' (heart) of the language.
One of the most common mistakes learners make is confusing 'delkhorāne' with 'asabāni' (angrily) or 'nārāhat' (sadly). While they are related, they are not interchangeable. 'Asabāni' implies a loss of control or a high-energy negative emotion. 'Delkhorāne' is more subdued and rooted in disappointment. If someone breaks your phone, you might react 'asabāni'. If your best friend doesn't invite you to their party, you react 'delkhorāne'. Using 'asabāni' when you mean 'delkhorāne' might make the situation sound more violent or aggressive than it actually is.
- Mistake: Overusing it for strangers
- You usually don't feel 'delkhor' with a total stranger because there's no emotional bond to be 'eaten' (khor). Use 'shāki' (complaining) or 'nā-rāzi' (dissatisfied) for formal or stranger-based interactions.
Incorrect: راننده تاکسی دلخورانه فریاد زد. (The taxi driver shouted resentfully.)
Correct: راننده تاکسی با عصبانیت فریاد زد. (The taxi driver shouted with anger.)
Another mistake is using it as a simple adjective for a person (e.g., 'He is a delkhorāne person'). While 'āne' words can sometimes act as adjectives, 'delkhorāne' is almost exclusively used to describe *actions* or *expressions*. If you want to say a person is resentful, you should use the adjective 'delkhor'. For example, 'Ali delkhor ast' (Ali is resentful/upset). 'Delkhorāne' should be reserved for describing *how* Ali is doing something. 'Ali delkhorāne harf zad' (Ali spoke resentfully).
او دلخورانه به من پیام داد.
Finally, don't confuse it with 'ghahr-ālood' (filled with the silent treatment). 'Delkhorāne' is a lighter touch. 'Ghahr-ālood' suggests a much more serious and perhaps permanent rift. 'Delkhorāne' is often the 'pout' before the reconciliation. Understanding these shades of meaning will help you navigate the complex emotional landscape of Persian social life without causing unintended offense or misunderstanding the gravity of a situation.
To truly master 'delkhorāne', it helps to see it alongside its synonyms and near-synonyms. Persian is rich in words for emotions, and each has its own place. 'Nārāhat-āne' is similar but often implies more sadness than resentment. 'Ghele-mandāne' (complainingly/reproachfully) is very close but has a more verbal, active component of laying blame. 'Ba-talkhi' (bitterly) is much stronger and suggests a deeper, more permanent sense of cynicism or pain. 'Delkhorāne' sits in the middle—it's the word for a 'bruised' feeling.
- Comparison: Delkhorāne vs. Ghele-mandāne
- 'Delkhorāne' focuses on the inner hurt feeling. 'Ghele-mandāne' focuses on the act of complaining or holding someone accountable for a mistake.
او گلهمندانه از دیر کردن من انتقاد کرد.
Another alternative is 'ba-deltangi' (with longing/sadness), but this is more about missing someone than being upset with them. 'Khashm-gināne' (angrily) is the opposite in terms of energy level. If you want to describe a look that is both sad and resentful, you might use 'hasrat-bār' (sorrowful/full of regret), but 'delkhorāne' is more specific to social slights. In academic or very formal contexts, you might see 'ba-nā-khosh-noodi' (with dissatisfaction), which is a more sterile, less emotional version of 'delkhorāne'.
او دلخورانه سکوت کرد.
Finally, consider the word 'ranyide-khāter-āne' (with a wounded soul/mind). This is a very poetic and formal synonym for 'delkhorāne'. You will find it in classical literature or very high-register speech. It carries the same meaning but with much more 'vazn' (weight) and elegance. For everyday conversation and standard B1-C1 level proficiency, 'delkhorāne' remains the most useful and naturally occurring term for this very human emotion of feeling a bit let down by those we care about.
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
In Persian, the 'heart' (del) is the seat of all emotions, not just love. This is why so many emotional words in Persian start with 'del', including 'del-tang' (homesick/sad) and 'del-shure' (anxiety).
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing the 'kh' like a hard 'k'. It should be a fricative.
- Making the 'ā' sound too much like 'a' in 'cat'. It should be more like 'a' in 'ball' or 'father'.
- Missing the 'h' sound if they confuse it with 'delkorāne' (not a word).
- Stress on the first syllable.
- Pronouncing 'ne' as 'nee'.
難易度
The word is common in literature and news, making it moderately easy to recognize once the root 'del' is known.
Requires understanding of the 'āne' suffix and proper adverbial placement.
Using it with the right 'emotional' tone is key to sounding natural.
Easily identifiable by the distinctive 'del-khor' sound.

ヒント
Context is King
Only use 'delkhorāne' when there's an emotional bond. If a stranger is rude, you are 'asabāni' (angry), not 'delkhor'.
The -āne Suffix
Remember that '-āne' is like '-ly'. It turns the feeling of 'delkhori' into the action of doing something 'delkhorāne'.
The Silent Treatment
If someone is acting 'delkhorāne', they might be about to start 'Ghahr' (silence). Address it early!
Root Word
Learn 'Del' (heart) and 'Khordan' (to eat) separately to see how they combine into this beautiful word.
The 'Kh' Sound
Make sure your 'kh' is raspy, like you're clearing your throat gently. Don't say it like 'k'.
Show, Don't Tell
Instead of saying 'He was upset', write 'He looked at the floor delkhorāne'. It's much better writing.
Tone Matters
Listen for the 'sigh' that often accompanies this word in Persian speech.
Ghele-mandāne
If the person is actually complaining out loud, 'ghele-mandāne' might be a better word choice.
Opposites
To fix a 'delkhorāne' situation, try to act 'samimāne' (sincerely/warmly).
Heart Eater
Just remember: A 'Heart Eater' (Del-Khor) is someone who is resentful.
暗記しよう
記憶術
Think of 'Del' as 'Dell' (the computer) and 'Khor' as 'Core'. If your 'Del Core' is 'eaten' (khor) by a virus, you feel 'delkhorāne' (resentful) at the computer!
視覚的連想
Imagine a red heart with a small bite taken out of it. The person whose heart it is is looking away with a pout. That is 'delkhorāne'.
Word Web
チャレンジ
Try to describe a scene from a movie where a character feels ignored using the word 'delkhorāne' three times in different contexts (speech, look, action).
語源
The word is a compound of 'Del' (Middle Persian 'dil'), meaning heart, and 'Khor', the present stem of 'Khordan' (Middle Persian 'xwardan'), meaning to eat or consume. The suffix '-āne' is an Indo-European suffix used to form adverbs and adjectives of manner.
元の意味： To have one's heart consumed or eaten away by sorrow or a slight.
Indo-European -> Indo-Iranian -> Iranian -> Western Iranian -> Persian文化的な背景
Be careful not to dismiss someone's 'delkhorāne' behavior as just 'moodiness'. In a Persian context, it is a serious signal that a relationship needs attention.
While English speakers might just say someone is 'pouting' or 'being passive-aggressive', 'delkhorāne' has a more sympathetic tone in Persian. It acknowledges the person's heart is actually hurting.

Summary
The word 'delkhorāne' is the perfect tool for describing that 'stung' or 'slighted' feeling in social interactions. For example, if a friend forgets your birthday, you might reply to their late text 'delkhorāne'—not screaming, but clearly hurt and resentful.
- Delkhorāne is a Persian adverb meaning 'resentfully' or 'annoyedly', used to describe actions done with hurt feelings.
- It comes from 'del' (heart) and 'khor' (eating), suggesting a heart being consumed by a perceived slight or disappointment.
- It is less intense than pure anger but more specific than general sadness, often used in personal relationship contexts.
- Commonly used with verbs of speaking, looking, or reacting to show that someone feels undervalued or ignored.
Context is King
Only use 'delkhorāne' when there's an emotional bond. If a stranger is rude, you are 'asabāni' (angry), not 'delkhor'.
The -āne Suffix
Remember that '-āne' is like '-ly'. It turns the feeling of 'delkhori' into the action of doing something 'delkhorāne'.
The Silent Treatment
If someone is acting 'delkhorāne', they might be about to start 'Ghahr' (silence). Address it early!
Root Word
Learn 'Del' (heart) and 'Khordan' (to eat) separately to see how they combine into this beautiful word.
