解説 گریان in your Level:

At the A1 level, 'Geryān' is a simple but powerful descriptive word. You use it to describe people who are crying right now. It's like the word 'crying' in 'the crying baby'. At this stage, you only need to know how to put it after a noun with an 'e' sound (the Ezafe). For example, 'koodak-e geryān' (crying child). You might also use it with the verb 'to be' (ast) to say 'The boy is crying' (Pesar geryān ast). This level focuses on physical descriptions. You see someone with tears, and you say they are 'geryān'. It's one of the first emotional adjectives you learn because it's very visual. You don't need to worry about poetic meanings yet; just focus on the fact that 'geryān' = 'has tears'.

At the A2 level, you start to use 'Geryān' in slightly more complex sentences. You might describe the reason why someone is crying using 'chon' (because). For example: 'The girl is crying because she lost her doll' (Dokhtar geryān ast chon arusak-ash rā gom kardeh ast). You also begin to see 'geryān' used as a way to describe how someone did something, like 'He came home crying' (O geryān be khāneh āmad). At this level, you should also be able to distinguish between the noun 'geryeh' (crying) and the adjective 'geryān'. You understand that 'geryān' describes the person, and 'geryeh' is the act itself. You might also start to see it in simple stories or children's books.

By B1, you are comfortable using 'Geryān' in various registers. You understand that while it's an adjective, it can act as a state of being in a story. You might use it to add emotion to your writing. For instance, instead of just saying someone was sad, you use 'geryān' to show they were crying. You also learn common pairings like 'geryān va nālān' (crying and moaning) which is used for emphasis. You can use it to describe non-human things in a slightly metaphorical way, like 'the crying sky' when it's raining heavily, though you know this is more literary. You are also aware of the formal 'geryānān' (those who are crying) but you don't necessarily use it in speech.

At the B2 level, you appreciate the nuance of 'Geryān' in literature and media. You can understand news reports where 'geryān' is used to evoke sympathy for victims of a disaster. You recognize it in Persian songs (Sonati) and understand the emotional weight it carries. You can use it in more sophisticated grammar structures, such as conditional sentences: 'If I see him crying (geryān), I will become sad too.' You also begin to understand the cultural context of crying in Persian society—how it's often seen as a deep, spiritual expression of the soul, and how 'geryān' captures that better than the simple verb 'geryeh kardan'.

At C1, you use 'Geryān' with precision and style. You understand its etymological roots (from 'geristan') and how the suffix '-ān' creates a sense of continuous state. You can analyze poetry from Rumi or Hafez where 'geryān' describes the 'abr' (cloud) or the 'sham' (candle) that 'cries' wax. You use the word to create atmosphere in your own high-level writing. You are also familiar with synonyms like 'ashk-bār' and 'ashk-ālud' and know exactly when to swap 'geryān' for them to achieve a specific rhetorical effect. You can discuss the aesthetics of sorrow in Persian culture using this vocabulary fluently.

At the C2 level, 'Geryān' is a tool for mastery. You understand all its historical and literary connotations. You can distinguish between its use in Pahlavi (Middle Persian) and Modern Persian if necessary. You can use it in highly abstract or philosophical discussions about human emotion. You might use it in a critique of a film or a book to describe the 'ton-e geryān' (tearful tone) of the narrative. You are also capable of using it in puns or complex wordplay that relies on the various meanings of 'crying' and 'flowing' in Persian. To you, 'geryān' is not just a word; it's a piece of the vast Persian emotional tapestry that you can weave into any conversation or text perfectly.

گریان 30秒で

Geryān is the primary Persian adjective for 'crying' or 'tearful', used to describe a person's emotional state.
It follows the noun it modifies using the Ezafe (e.g., koodak-e geryān), or acts as a predicate (e.g., Ali geryān ast).
The word is commonly found in literature, music, and emotional news reporting, often carrying more weight than the simple verb.
It is related to the verb 'geristan' (to cry) and the noun 'geryeh' (crying), but functions specifically as a descriptive adjective.

The Persian word گریان (pronounced 'geryān') is a beautiful and evocative adjective that primarily translates to 'crying', 'weeping', or 'shedding tears' in English. It is derived from the infinitive گریستن (geristan), which means 'to cry'. In the landscape of the Persian language, this word occupies a space that is both literal and deeply emotional. Unlike the simple present participle of the verb, گریان functions as a state of being, often describing someone who is in the midst of a profound emotional release or a persistent state of sorrow. It is a word you will encounter in everyday conversation, but its roots are deeply embedded in the rich soil of Persian literature and poetry.

Literal State: In its most basic form, it describes the physical act of tears falling from the eyes. It is used to describe children, mourners, or anyone overwhelmed by emotion.
Poetic Personification: Persian poets often use this word to describe nature. A 'crying cloud' (abr-e geryān) is a common metaphor for rain, suggesting that nature itself feels the sorrow of the poet or the lover.
Emotional Intensity: While 'geryeh' is the noun for crying, 'geryān' carries a more descriptive, almost cinematic quality. It paints a picture of the person in that state, rather than just naming the action.

مادر با چشمانی گریان به استقبال فرزندش آمد.
(The mother came to welcome her child with crying eyes.)

Understanding when to use گریان versus other terms for crying is crucial for a learner. In everyday speech, if you want to say 'He is crying,' you would typically use the verb phrase گریه می‌کند (geryeh mikonad). However, if you are describing the person—'The crying boy sat in the corner'—then پسر گریان (pesar-e geryān) is the correct and more natural choice. It functions much like the English '-ing' adjectives (e.g., 'the weeping willow').

او تمام شب گریان بود.
(He/She was crying all night.)

In a cultural context, 'geryān' is linked to the Persian concept of 'gham' (sorrow/grief), which is often viewed with a degree of romanticism and depth in Persian art. Being 'geryān' is not always seen as a sign of weakness, but often as a sign of a 'del-e narm' (soft heart) or a soul that is deeply moved by the world's beauty or tragedy. This makes the word quite powerful in songs and literature.

Grammar Note: As an adjective, it follows the noun it modifies using the Ezafe construction (e.g., koodak-e geryān). It can also function as a predicative adjective after 'budan' (to be) or 'shodan' (to become).

آسمان گریان شد و باران بارید.
(The sky became tearful [cloudy/rainy] and it rained.)

Using گریان correctly requires understanding its role as an adjective and its nuanced difference from the verb. While English speakers might use 'crying' as both a verb ('He is crying') and an adjective ('The crying man'), Persian distinguishes these more clearly in formal and literary styles. However, in modern Persian, گریان is versatile enough to appear in various sentence structures.

As an Attributive Adjective: This is when the word directly describes a noun. You connect them with an 'e' sound (Ezafe). For example: 'koodak-e geryān' (the crying child). This is common in descriptive writing and storytelling.
As a Predicative Adjective: This is when the word follows a linking verb like 'to be'. 'Ali geryān ast' (Ali is crying/tearful). This emphasizes his state rather than just the action of crying.
In Compound Adverbs: Sometimes it is used to describe *how* an action is performed. 'Geryān raft' (He left crying/in tears). Here, it functions almost like an adverbial of manner.

دخترک گریان به خانه برگشت.
(The little girl returned home crying.)

In more advanced contexts, گریان can be paired with other adjectives to create a more vivid picture. You might hear 'nālān va geryān' (moaning and crying), a common pairing in classical texts and lamentations. This doubling of adjectives is a stylistic feature of Persian to emphasize the intensity of the emotion.

همه مردم در مراسم تشییع گریان بودند.
(All the people were crying at the funeral ceremony.)

When using it in questions, you might ask: 'Cherā in koodak geryān ast?' (Why is this child crying?). While 'Cherā in koodak geryeh mikonad?' is also correct and perhaps more common in casual speech, using 'geryān' adds a touch of descriptive elegance to your sentence.

چرا چشم‌های تو گریان است؟
(Why are your eyes tearful?)

Word Order: In Persian, the adjective usually follows the noun. 'Pesar-e geryān' (Boy-crying). If you put it before the noun, it becomes a very formal or poetic construction, which is rare in A1-B1 levels.

او با صدایی گریان صحبت کرد.
(He spoke with a crying/tearful voice.)

While گریان is a standard word, its frequency varies across different registers of Persian. You might not hear it every five minutes in a casual teahouse conversation, but it is omnipresent in other areas of Iranian life. Understanding these contexts will help you sound more like a native speaker and less like a textbook.

In News and Journalism: When reporting on tragedies, disasters, or emotional human interest stories, news anchors and journalists frequently use 'geryān' to describe survivors or family members. It adds a level of gravitas to the reporting.
In Persian Literature and Poetry: This is where 'geryān' truly shines. From the epic Shahnameh to the mystical ghazals of Hafez and Rumi, 'geryān' is used to describe the lover's state of longing. You will hear it in poetry recitations, which are a popular cultural pastime in Iran.
In Movies and TV Dramas: Iranian cinema is world-renowned for its emotional depth. In scripts, 'geryān' is a common stage direction or descriptive term in dialogue to emphasize a character's misery or relief.

فیلم با صحنه‌ای از یک مرد گریان تمام شد.
(The movie ended with a scene of a crying man.)

Another place you will frequently encounter this word is in religious contexts, particularly during the month of Muharram. Lamentations (Noheh) often use 'geryān' to describe the historical figures being mourned. In this context, the word carries a sacred and communal weight of shared grief.

صدای گریان او از پشت تلفن شنیده می‌شد.
(Her crying voice could be heard over the phone.)

In music, especially traditional Persian music (Sonati) and modern ballads, 'geryān' is a keyword. It evokes the 'suz' (burning/passion) that is central to the Persian musical aesthetic. If you listen to songs by legendary singers like Shajarian, you will almost certainly hear this word used to describe the pain of separation or the beauty of a tearful eye.

Social Media Usage: In the digital age, while people use emojis, they still use 'geryān' in captions for emotional photos or when sharing sad news. It remains a core part of the emotional vocabulary of Persian speakers online.

او با دلی گریان از وطن خود رفت.
(With a weeping heart, he left his homeland.)

For English speakers learning Persian, the most common mistakes with گریان usually involve confusing it with other related words or misapplying Persian grammar rules. Because English uses 'crying' for almost everything, the specificity of Persian can be a bit tricky at first.

Mistake 1: Confusing 'Geryān' with 'Geryeh': 'Geryeh' is a noun (crying/tears). You cannot say 'Man geryeh hastam' to mean 'I am crying'. You must use the adjective 'Man geryān hastam' or the verb 'Man geryeh mikonam'. Think of 'Geryeh' as the 'thing' and 'Geryān' as the 'state'.
Mistake 2: Forgetting the Ezafe: When using 'geryān' to describe a noun, many beginners forget the short 'e' sound that connects them. It's 'koodak-e geryān', not 'koodak geryān'. This is a fundamental rule of Persian adjectives.
Mistake 3: Overusing it in Casual Speech: While 'geryān' is correct, in very casual, street-level Persian, people often just use the verb. Saying 'Ali dāre geryeh mikone' (Ali is crying) is more common than 'Ali geryān ast' when talking to friends. Using 'geryān' can sometimes sound a bit 'bookish' or dramatic if overused in casual settings.

Incorrect: او گریه است. (He is cry.)
Correct: او گریان است. (He is crying/tearful.)

Another subtle mistake is the placement. English puts adjectives before the noun ('the crying child'), but Persian puts them after ('koodak-e geryān'). If you say 'geryān koodak', it sounds like you are reciting ancient poetry, which might be confusing in a supermarket!

Incorrect: گریان چشم‌های او زیباست. (Crying her eyes are beautiful.)
Correct: چشم‌های گریان او زیباست. (Her crying eyes are beautiful.)

Finally, be careful with the intensity. 'Geryān' implies actual tears. If someone is just sad but not crying, use 'ghamgin' (sad) or 'nārāhat' (upset). Using 'geryān' when there are no tears might be seen as an exaggeration, though this is common in poetic or hyperbolic speech.

Spelling Note: In Persian, the 'alef' (ا) in 'geryān' must be written clearly. Some beginners forget it and write something that looks like 'geryan' without the long vowel, which changes the rhythm and can lead to confusion with other roots.

Persian is a language of synonyms, each with its own flavor. While گریان is the most common adjective for 'crying', several other words can be used depending on the level of formality and the specific type of crying being described.

اشک‌بار (Ashk-bār): Literally 'tear-raining'. This is more formal and poetic than 'geryān'. It's often used to describe eyes that are overflowing with tears. Example: 'cheshm-e ashk-bār'.
نالان (Nālān): This means 'moaning' or 'wailing'. It describes the sound of crying rather than just the tears. It's often paired with 'geryān' in the phrase 'geryān va nālān'.
اشک‌آلود (Ashk-ālud): Meaning 'tear-stained' or 'covered in tears'. This is used to describe a face or a letter after the crying has happened or while it is happening.
گریه کنان (Geryeh-konān): This is a verbal adverb meaning 'while crying'. It is used to describe an action done simultaneously with crying. Example: 'Geryeh-konān raft' (He left while crying).

چشم‌های اشک‌بار او نشان از غمی عمیق داشت.
(Her tear-raining eyes showed a deep sorrow.)

Comparing 'Geryān' with 'Ghamgin' is also useful. 'Ghamgin' simply means 'sad'. You can be 'ghamgin' without being 'geryān'. 'Geryān' is the outward physical manifestation of that sadness. In a sentence, you might say, 'He was so sad (ghamgin) that he became tearful (geryān).'

او همیشه با صورتی اشک‌آلود دعا می‌کرد.
(He always prayed with a tear-stained face.)

In very formal or archaic Persian, you might find the word باکیه (Bākiyeh), borrowed from Arabic, but this is almost never used in modern spoken or written Persian except in very specific religious texts. Stick to 'geryān' for 99% of your needs.

Summary of Alternatives: Use 'geryān' for general crying. Use 'ashk-bār' for poetic intensity. Use 'nālān' for crying with sound/moaning. Use 'geryeh-konān' for 'while crying'.
