練習する例文メモとヒント دلخوری 30秒で

解説 دلخوری in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't need to worry about the deep cultural nuances of 'delkhori.' Instead, think of it as a way to say 'upset' or 'sad' because of a person. If a friend doesn't play with you or share a toy, you might feel 'delkhor.' You can use the simple sentence 'Man delkhor hastam' (I am upset). At this stage, focus on the fact that 'del' means heart and 'khor' comes from eating. It's like something is eating your heart! It's a very common word in families, so you might hear parents asking children if they are 'delkhor.' Just remember it's about people, not things. You aren't 'delkhor' at a rainy day, only at your friends or family.

At the A2 level, you can start using 'delkhori' with simple verbs like 'dâshtan' (to have). You can say 'Man az to delkhori dâram' to mean 'I am upset with you.' This is a step up from just saying 'I am sad.' It shows you know that your feeling is caused by someone else's action. You should also recognize the adjective form 'delkhor.' If you see a friend who isn't talking much, you can ask, 'Delkhori?' (Are you upset?). This level is about using the word in basic social interactions to express mild dissatisfaction. You will often hear this in simple Persian stories or cartoons when characters have a small misunderstanding.

At the B1 level, you should understand that 'delkhori' is a specific type of resentment that is usually mild and temporary. It is the perfect word for 'being miffed.' You should be able to use the phrase 'delkhori pish âmadan' (resentment arising) to describe a situation. For example, 'Yek delkhori-ye koochak pish âmad' (A small misunderstanding/resentment arose). You should also know the common preposition 'az'—you are always delkhor *az* someone. At this level, you can start using the word to navigate social situations more gracefully, using it to explain why you might be acting a bit distant without sounding overly aggressive or angry.

At the B2 level, you should be able to distinguish 'delkhori' from more intense words like 'kodurat' (grudge) or 'ranjesh' (deep hurt). You can use 'delkhori' in more complex sentences and discuss how to 'resolve' it using 'raf' kardan.' You should understand that in Iranian culture, 'delkhori' is often handled indirectly. You might use the word to facilitate a 'reconciliation' (âshti). At this level, you can use the word in workplace settings or among a wider circle of acquaintances. You should also be comfortable using it in the plural, 'delkhori-hâ,' to refer to a series of small issues that have built up over time between two people.

At the C1 level, you should have a deep grasp of the 'heart' (del) metaphors in Persian and how 'delkhori' fits into that system. You can use the word in literary or formal discussions about relationships. You should understand the subtle 'Ta'arof' associated with the word—how naming a 'delkhori' is often an invitation for the other person to offer a 'del-jooee' (an act of seeking the heart/consoling). You can use the word to analyze characters in Persian literature or cinema, discussing how 'unspoken delkhori' (delkhori-hâ-ye gofte-nashode) leads to the breakdown of families or friendships. Your usage should reflect an understanding of the emotional weight and social delicacy the word carries.

At the C2 level, you can use 'delkhori' with absolute precision, even in highly formal or poetic contexts. You understand its etymological roots in Middle Persian and how it has evolved. You can use it to discuss complex psychological states or philosophical concepts of the 'heart' in Persian mysticism (Sufism), where 'delkhori' from the world or the Beloved is a recurring theme. You are capable of using the word to negotiate very sensitive social or professional conflicts, knowing exactly when 'delkhori' is a softer, more effective choice than 'e'terâz' (protest). You can also use idiomatic expressions related to the heart and consumption to expand on the concept in a way that sounds completely native.

دلخوری 30秒で

A nuanced Persian term for mild resentment or being 'miffed' in a relationship.
Literally means 'heart-eating,' suggesting an internal feeling of being upset.
Essential for navigating Iranian social etiquette and resolving interpersonal conflicts.
Softer than anger, but more specific than general sadness or unhappiness.

The Persian word دلخوری (Delkhori) is a profound and nuanced term that captures a specific shade of human emotion often lost in simple English translations like 'resentment' or 'offense.' Rooted in the poetic anatomy of the Persian language, it literally translates to 'heart-eating' or 'heart-bitten,' suggesting a state where the heart is slowly consumed by a feeling of disappointment or mild bitterness. Unlike 'anger' (khashm), which is explosive and outward, delkhori is an internal, lingering sensation. It occurs when someone you care about—a friend, a family member, or a partner—does or says something that hurts your feelings, but perhaps not enough to cause a full-blown argument. It is the feeling of being 'miffed' or 'upset' in a way that creates a temporary emotional distance. In Iranian culture, where social harmony and indirect communication are highly valued, delkhori is a common state that requires careful navigation and often a 'resolution' (raf-e delkhori) to restore the relationship to its previous state.

The Emotional Nuance: It is less about the action itself and more about the emotional residue left behind. It implies a breach of expectation between two people who have a bond.
The Social Function: In the context of Ta'arof (Persian etiquette), acknowledging delkhori is a way to signal that a boundary was crossed without being aggressively confrontational.
Physical Metaphor: The use of 'Del' (heart) signifies that the issue has touched the core of the person's being, rather than just their logic or surface-level ego.

«نمی‌خواهم این دلخوری بین ما باقی بماند.»
— "I don't want this resentment to remain between us."

Understanding delkhori is essential for anyone wishing to navigate Iranian social circles. It is the 'elephant in the room' during many family gatherings. If someone is unusually quiet or avoids eye contact, a common question asked by others is 'Is there a delkhori?' (دلخوری پیش آمده؟). This word serves as a bridge to reconciliation. By naming the feeling, parties can begin the process of 'del-jooee' (seeking the heart), which involves apologizing or explaining one's actions to soothe the other person's hurt feelings. It is a word that emphasizes the fragility and importance of interpersonal connections in Persian-speaking societies.

«او از حرف‌های من دچار دلخوری شد.»
— "He became upset/offended by my words."

In literature and daily speech, delkhori is distinct from 'nârâhati' (general sadness or discomfort). You can be 'nârâhat' because of the weather or a bad grade, but you are 'delkhor' because of a specific interpersonal dynamic. It requires a subject and an object—someone is delkhor *at* someone else. This relational aspect is what makes the word so vital for emotional intelligence in Persian. It describes the friction that occurs when two hearts rub against each other the wrong way. It is a soft word for a hard feeling, allowing people to discuss their pain without escalating it into a fight.

«رفع دلخوری بهترین راه برای حفظ دوستی است.»
— "Resolving resentment is the best way to preserve a friendship."

Using دلخوری correctly involves understanding the verbs it typically pairs with. In Persian, nouns often combine with 'light verbs' to form complete meanings. For delkhori, the most common pairings are with pish âmadan (to occur), dâshtan (to have), and raf' kardan (to resolve). These combinations allow you to describe the lifecycle of a misunderstanding from its inception to its resolution.

Describing the Occurrence: Use 'pish âmadan' (پیش آمدن) to say resentment has arisen. Example: 'Yek delkhori-ye koochak pish âmad' (A small resentment arose).
Expressing the Feeling: Use 'dâshtan' (داشتن) to express that you are currently feeling this way. Example: 'Man az dast-e to delkhori dâram' (I have resentment from your hand/because of you).
The Act of Healing: Use 'raf' kardan' (رفع کردن) or 'az del dar âvardan' (taking it out of the heart) to describe resolving the issue.

«آیا هنوز از من دلخوری داری؟»
— "Do you still have resentment towards me?"

When constructing sentences, pay attention to the preposition 'az' (from/at). You are always 'delkhor az' someone. This structure highlights the source of the feeling. For instance, 'Az raftârat delkhor shodam' (I became upset from/by your behavior). The word can also be used as an adjective, 'delkhor' (دلخور), which describes the person who is feeling the resentment. 'Man delkhor hastam' means 'I am miffed.' However, the noun form delkhori is often used to discuss the situation as an abstract concept or a collective state between two people.

«ما باید بنشینیم و این دلخوری را حل کنیم.»
— "We must sit down and resolve this resentment."

Another advanced usage involves the word 'kodurat' (grudge), which is often seen as the more severe, long-term version of delkhori. While delkhori is like a scratch on a surface, 'kodurat' is like a stain. Learners should use delkhori for everyday misunderstandings. For example, if a friend forgot your birthday, you might have delkhori. If a friend betrayed a major secret, that might lead to 'kodurat.' Using the right word shows a high level of emotional and linguistic competence.

«هیچ دلخوری‌ای ارزش خراب کردن دوستی ما را ندارد.»
— "No resentment is worth ruining our friendship."

You will encounter دلخوری in almost every layer of Iranian life, from the most casual conversations to formal diplomatic negotiations. It is a staple of Persian soap operas (Seryâlhâ), where family drama often revolves around a 'delkhori' that someone is harboring. In these shows, you'll often hear a matriarch say, 'Let's not let the night pass with this delkhori' (Nagozârim in delkhori bâghi bemânad), emphasizing the cultural importance of ending the day in peace.

In Family Gatherings: Elders often act as mediators to resolve delkhori between younger relatives, using the word to soften the blow of criticism.
In Romantic Relationships: Partners use it to express hurt without sounding aggressive. It’s a way to say 'You hurt my feelings' (Azat delkhoram).
In Workplace Dynamics: Even in professional settings, if a colleague feels overlooked, they might mention their delkhori during a private meeting.

«بیا در مورد این دلخوری شفاف حرف بزنیم.»
— "Let's talk transparently about this resentment."

In Persian literature and music, especially in the 'Pop' and 'Traditional' genres, delkhori is a recurring theme. Lyrics often describe the pain of a lover's delkhori and the desperate search for forgiveness. It is portrayed as a dark cloud that covers the sun of friendship. When listening to Iranian music, pay attention to words like 'gelle' (complaint) and 'shekâyat' (lament), as they are the verbal expressions of delkhori. In social media, you might see people posting 'stories' or poems about being 'delkhor' when they want to subtly signal to someone that they are upset without tagging them directly—a modern form of an ancient social dance.

«او همیشه دلخوری‌هایش را در دلش نگه می‌دارد.»
— "He always keeps his resentments in his heart."

For English speakers, the most frequent mistake is confusing دلخوری with 'anger' (khashm) or 'sadness' (nârâhati). If you tell someone 'Man az dast-e to khashmgin hastam' (I am angry at you), it sounds much more severe and confrontational than saying 'Man azat delkhoram.' Using 'anger' can escalate a situation that only required a simple apology. Conversely, using 'nârâhati' (sadness/upset) can be too vague; it doesn't always point to a specific person's action as the cause.

Mistake: Using it for Objects: You cannot have delkhori from a broken computer or a rainy day. It is strictly for interpersonal relationships. For objects, use 'nârâhati' or 'shâki' (complaining).
Mistake: Confusing with 'Gelle': Gelle is the *act* of complaining or voicing the resentment. Delkhori is the *feeling* itself. You have delkhori, and then you might make a 'gelle' to resolve it.
Mistake: Incorrect Preposition: Learners often say 'delkhori bâ' (resentment with), but the correct form is 'delkhori az' (resentment from).

«اشتباه: من از ترافیک دلخوری دارم. (غلط)»
— "Mistake: I have resentment from the traffic. (Incorrect)"

Another mistake is overusing the word in very formal or purely professional contexts where 'e'terâz' (objection) or 'nâ-rezâyati' (dissatisfaction) might be more appropriate. Delkhori implies a level of emotional intimacy. If you use it with a high-ranking official you've never met, it might sound awkwardly personal. However, in an office where you have close ties with your team, it is perfectly acceptable. Lastly, remember that delkhori is usually temporary. If you describe a lifelong hatred as delkhori, you are understating the emotion significantly; in that case, 'doshmani' (enmity) or 'kin-tozi' (grudge-bearing) would be better.

«درست: من از دوستم دلخوری دارم چون به من زنگ نزد.»
— "Correct: I have resentment toward my friend because he didn't call me."

To truly master Persian, you must distinguish دلخوری from its synonyms. Each word carries a different weight and social implication. Exploring these alternatives will help you express your emotions with greater precision and cultural awareness.

رنجش (Ranjesh) - Annoyance/Hurt: This is more formal and literary than delkhori. It suggests a deeper emotional wound or being 'vexed.' While delkhori can be petty, ranjesh usually implies a more serious hurt.
کدورت (Kodurat) - Grudge/Cloudiness: Literally meaning 'turbidity' or 'opaqueness,' it refers to the lingering gloom after a fight. It is more serious than delkhori and suggests that the relationship is no longer 'clear' (shaffâf).
گله (Gelle) - Complaint/Grievance: This is the verbal expression of delkhori. You have a delkhori, so you make a gelle to the person. It's often used in the phrase 'gelle o gozâri' (exchanging complaints).

«بین دلخوری و کینه تفاوت زیادی وجود دارد.»
— "There is a big difference between resentment and a deep-seated grudge (malice)."

When choosing which word to use, consider the 'temperature' of the emotion. Delkhori is warm—it implies you still care about the person. 'Kine' (malice) is cold and destructive. 'Nârâhati' is neutral and general. If you are in a situation where you want to reconcile, delkhori is the safest and most constructive word to use because it invites the other person to help you 'clear the heart.' Using more intense words like 'motenafer' (hateful) or 'khashmgin' (angry) might close the door to communication entirely.

«او با یک معذرت‌خواهی ساده تمام دلخوری‌ها را پاک کرد.»
— "With a simple apology, he wiped away all the resentments."

ヒント

The Power of Apology

In Persian culture, saying 'azat delkhoram' is often a plea for attention and affection. Don't just say 'sorry'; try to 'seek the heart' (del-jooee).

Verb Pairing

Always remember that 'delkhori' *happens* (pish miyâyad) and you *have* it (dâri). Master these two verbs first.

Indirectness

If an Iranian friend is suddenly very formal or quiet, they likely have a 'delkhori.' You might have to ask them several times before they admit it.

The 'Az' Rule

Never use 'bâ' (with) for delkhori. It's always 'az' (from). Think of the feeling coming *from* the other person's action.

Plural Usage

Use 'delkhori-hâ' when talking about a history of small issues. It sounds more mature and analytical.

The Soft KH

Practice the 'kh' in 'khori' so it doesn't sound like 'kori' (blindness). It should be a raspy, throat sound.

Using Ezafe

In 'delkhori-ye man,' the 'ye' is essential because the word ends in a long 'i' sound.

Detecting Ta'arof

If someone says 'No, no delkhori at all!' with a stiff face, they probably have a huge delkhori. Look for the 'heavy' atmosphere.

Heart Metaphors

Connect 'delkhori' with 'del-shekaste' (broken heart) and 'del-tang' (homesick). They all belong to the same 'heart' family.

Not Anger

Remind yourself: 'I am not angry, I am delkhor.' This will help you choose the right Persian word in the heat of the moment.

暗記しよう

記憶術

Imagine a tiny 'resentment monster' in your chest actually 'eating' (khor) your 'heart' (del). That feeling is Del-khor-i.

視覚的連想

Picture a heart with a small bite taken out of it, like the Apple logo but for emotions.

チャレンジ

Try to identify a time this week when you felt 'delkhor' rather than 'angry.' Describe that situation using the word 'delkhori' to a friend.

語源

The word is a compound of 'Del' (heart) and 'Khor' (from the verb 'khordan,' to eat) plus the suffix 'i' which creates a noun of state.

元の意味： Literally 'the state of the heart being eaten' or 'heart-consumption.'

Indo-European -> Indo-Iranian -> Persian.

文化的な背景

Be careful not to dismiss someone's 'delkhori' as 'nothing.' In Persian culture, acknowledging the feeling is the only way to fix the relationship.

English speakers might say 'I have a bone to pick with you,' but 'delkhori' is much softer and more emotional than that phrase.

Commonly used in the lyrics of Googoosh and Hayedeh (famous singers). A central theme in the movie 'A Separation' by Asghar Farhadi. Frequently appears in the poems of Hafez to describe the lover's state.

No, in fact, it is often seen as a polite way to address a problem. By saying you have a 'delkhori,' you are opening a door for the other person to apologize and fix the relationship.

Yes, you can say 'Az khodam delkhoram' (I am upset with myself), usually when you've made a mistake or let yourself down.

The best way is 'del-jooee' (seeking the heart). This involves talking, explaining the misunderstanding, and often offering a small gesture like a gift or an invitation to tea.

Yes, but in very formal contexts, words like 'takaddor' or 'ranjesh' are sometimes preferred. However, 'delkhori' is perfectly fine for business emails between colleagues who know each other.

It literally means 'to take [it] out of the heart.' It refers to the act of making up with someone so they are no longer upset with you.

It is more 'targeted.' You can be 'nârahat' (sad) about many things, but 'delkhori' is a specific social weight.

You can ask: 'Âyâ az man delkhori?' or 'Delkhori pish âmade?'

Not usually. It is a very human, social emotion involving complex expectations.

People might say 'shâki' (complaining/upset) or 'fâzi' (moody), but 'delkhori' remains the most common term.

Yes, a major part of the Persian New Year is 'khâne-tekâni' of the heart—cleaning out all the 'delkhori-hâ' from the past year.
