گران قیمت
گران قیمت 30秒で
- A formal compound adjective meaning 'expensive' or 'high-priced,' used primarily for objects and luxury goods in Persian.
- Formed from 'gerān' (heavy/expensive) and 'gheymat' (price), it follows the noun using the Ezafe construction.
- Commonly heard in news, real estate, and formal commerce, distinguishing high-value items from everyday expensive ones.
- Must be used carefully to avoid redundancy (don't say 'expensive price') and should not be used to describe people's worth.
The Persian term گران قیمت (pronounced 'gerān-gheymat') is a compound adjective used to describe items, services, or assets that possess a high monetary value. At its core, it is formed by two distinct Persian words: گران (gerān), meaning 'heavy' or 'expensive,' and قیمت (gheymat), meaning 'price' or 'value.' When combined, they create a formal and descriptive way to say 'expensive' or 'costly.' Unlike the simple word 'گران,' which can sometimes be used colloquially to mean 'difficult' or 'heavy' in older poetic contexts, 'گران قیمت' specifically targets the financial aspect of an object.
- Etymological Roots
- The word 'Gerān' traces back to Middle Persian 'garān,' meaning heavy. In the context of price, a 'heavy price' is one that is hard to pay. 'Gheymat' is an Arabic loanword (qaymah) that has been fully integrated into Persian for centuries.
این یک ساعت گران قیمت است که از پدربزرگم به ارث رسیده است.
In modern Persian, using 'گران قیمت' adds a layer of sophistication to your speech. While you might say 'این نان گران است' (This bread is expensive) in a bakery, you would more likely use 'گران قیمت' when discussing luxury goods like jewelry, real estate, or high-end technology. It implies not just a high price, but often a high intrinsic value or quality that justifies that price.
- Semantic Range
- It covers everything from 'costly' to 'priceless' depending on the context. In financial reports, it is the standard term for high-value assets.
خرید خودروهای گران قیمت در این شهر افزایش یافته است.
Using 'گران قیمت' correctly requires an understanding of the Persian Ezafe system. Since it functions as an adjective, it almost always follows the noun it describes, linked by a short 'e' sound. For example, 'ماشینِ گرانقیمت' (māshin-e gerān-gheymat). In formal writing, the space between 'گران' and 'قیمت' is often a 'half-space' (ZWNJ), making it look like one unit: گرانقیمت.
- Placement
- Noun + Ezafe + گرانقیمت. Example: جواهراتِ گرانقیمت (Expensive jewelry).
او همیشه لباسهای گران قیمت میپوشد.
One nuance to master is the difference between 'گران' and 'گرانقیمت.' While they are often interchangeable, 'گران' is more versatile. You can say 'قیمتها گران شدهاند' (Prices have become expensive/high), but you wouldn't usually say 'قیمتها گرانقیمت شدهاند.' 'گرانقیمت' is strictly for the objects themselves. It is also used to emphasize the 'luxury' aspect of an item rather than just a temporary price hike.
- Comparative and Superlative
- To say 'more expensive,' use 'گرانقیمتتر' (gerān-gheymat-tar). For 'most expensive,' use 'گرانقیمتترین' (gerān-gheymat-tarin).
این گرانقیمتترین خانهای است که تا به حال دیدهام.
You will encounter 'گران قیمت' in various settings, ranging from the evening news to luxury boutiques in Tehran's northern districts. It is a staple of financial journalism and advertising. When a news anchor discusses the rising cost of housing or the import of luxury cars, 'گرانقیمت' is the preferred term because it sounds objective and professional.
- Real Estate & Commerce
- Real estate agents use it to describe 'prime' or 'luxury' properties. 'آپارتمانهای گرانقیمت منطقه یک' (Expensive apartments of District 1).
بازار مبل ایران پر از کالاهای گران قیمت است.
In social settings, Iranians might use it to express awe or criticism. If someone buys a very flashy car, a neighbor might remark on how 'گرانقیمت' it is. However, in very casual conversation among friends, people often shorten it to just 'گران.' For example, 'خیلی گرونه!' (It's very expensive!). 'گرانقیمت' remains the choice for when you want to be precise or descriptive.
One of the most frequent errors for learners is using 'گران قیمت' to describe a high price itself. You should not say 'قیمتِ گرانقیمت' (an expensive price), as that is redundant. Instead, say 'قیمتِ بالا' (high price) or 'قیمتِ گزاف' (exorbitant price). 'گرانقیمت' modifies the object, not the number.
- Redundancy Check
- Incorrect: قیمتِ این گوشی گرانقیمت است. (The price of this phone is expensive.) Correct: این گوشی گرانقیمت است. (This phone is expensive.)
اشتباه: او یک دوست گران قیمت است.
Another mistake is confusing 'گرانقیمت' with 'باارزش' (valuable). Something can be 'باارزش' (like an old family photo) without being 'گرانقیمت' (high market price). Conversely, something can be 'گرانقیمت' (like a trendy designer shirt) but not particularly 'باارزش' in terms of quality or sentiment. Use 'گرانقیمت' strictly for financial cost.
Persian has several words to describe high cost or value, each with its own flavor. Understanding these nuances will help you move from A2 to B1 and beyond.
- گران (Gerān)
- The most common, everyday word for 'expensive.' It can be used for anything from eggs to airplanes.
- گرانبها (Gerān-bahā)
- Literally 'heavy value.' Used for things like pearls, wisdom, or historical artifacts. It sounds more poetic and elegant than 'گرانقیمت.'
- لوکس (Lux)
- A loanword from French/English. Used for lifestyle items like hotels, cars, and watches. It implies style as well as price.
- باهزینه (Bā-hazineh)
- Costly in terms of expenses or maintenance. Usually used for projects or processes.
