B1 فعل #16 よく出る 8分で読める

میره

Q: What is the formal version of 'mire'?

The formal version is 'میرود' (mi-rav-ad).

mire 上位16

At the A1 level, 'mire' is one of the first verbs you learn for describing daily routines. You use it to say where people go: 'Ali goes to school' or 'Sara goes to the store'. It is the colloquial version of 'mi-rav-ad'. You should focus on the fact that it ends in 'e', which is the spoken shortcut for the 3rd person singular. At this stage, just remember: [Person] + [Place] + mire.

At A2, you start using 'mire' for more than just walking. You use it for transportation ('The bus goes to the city center') and for simple future plans ('He is going tomorrow'). You also learn the negative form 'nemire' (he doesn't go). You begin to notice that in spoken Persian, we often leave out the word 'be' (to), so 'Un mire madrese' is more common than 'Un be madrese mire'.

At B1, you master the versatility of 'mire'. You use it in compound sentences, like 'He goes to buy bread' (Mire ke nan bekhare). You also learn idiomatic uses, such as 'Time goes fast' (Vagt tond mire) or 'This road goes to the forest'. You understand the difference between the formal 'mi-rav-ad' and the informal 'mire' and can switch between them depending on who you are talking to.

At B2, you use 'mire' in more complex grammatical structures, such as the present continuous with 'dare' (Un dare mire - He is currently going). You also understand its use in abstract contexts, like 'This plan is going well' or 'The price is going up'. You are comfortable with the phonological shift from 'rav' to 're' and can identify this pattern in other similar verbs.

At C1, you recognize 'mire' in literature that mimics spoken dialogue and in sophisticated slang. You understand the subtle nuances of using 'mire' versus more specific verbs like 'rah miofte' (sets off) or 'tashrif mibare' (honorably goes). You can use 'mire' in sarcastic or idiomatic ways, such as 'mire ro mokh' (it gets on my nerves), and you understand the historical evolution of the verb from Middle Persian.

At C2, you have a near-native grasp of 'mire'. You can analyze its frequency in different Persian dialects (Tehrani vs. Khorasani, etc.) and understand how the 're' ending functions as a linguistic marker of informal register. You can use it fluently in any context, knowing exactly when it adds a touch of intimacy or when it might be too casual for a specific audience.

練習する例文メモとヒント

میره 30秒で

Mire is the informal Persian word for 'he/she/it goes'.
It is used in daily speech instead of the formal 'mi-rav-ad'.
It can mean 'is going', 'goes', or even 'works' (for machines).
It is a B1-level essential for sounding like a native speaker.

The word میره (mire) is the colloquial, spoken form of the third-person singular present tense verb می‌رود (miravad), derived from the infinitive رفتن (raftan), meaning 'to go'. In the landscape of the Persian language, there is a significant divide between the written (formal) and spoken (informal) registers. While a textbook or a news anchor might use می‌رود, a person on the streets of Tehran, a character in a movie, or a friend in a text message will almost exclusively use میره. This word is the heartbeat of daily movement, describing everything from a person walking to a store to a machine functioning or a road leading to a specific destination.

Core Definition: It signifies the act of moving away from the current location toward another point. It translates to 'he goes', 'she goes', or 'it goes' in English, but it also covers the continuous 'is going' because Persian does not always distinguish between simple present and present continuous in its basic forms.
The Morphological Shift: In formal Persian, the present stem of 'raftan' is 'rav'. Adding the prefix 'mi-' (indicating ongoing/habitual action) and the suffix '-ad' (3rd person singular) gives us 'mi-rav-ad'. In the spoken dialect, the 'v' sound is dropped, and the 'a' sound shifts, resulting in the streamlined 'mire'.

اون هر روز به پارک میره تا ورزش کنه.
— Translation: He/she goes to the park every day to exercise.

Understanding میره requires recognizing its versatility. It isn't just for physical walking. If a clock is working, in Persian, we say it 'goes'. If a path leads to the mountains, it 'goes'. If someone is 'going' to perform an action in the near future (a pseudo-future construction), میره is often the auxiliary choice. For instance, 'mire ke bekhabe' (He/she is going to sleep). This makes it one of the top 50 most essential verbs for any learner aiming for B1 fluency.

ماشینش خیلی تند میره.
— Translation: His/her car goes very fast.

Culturally, the use of میره reflects the Iranian preference for brevity in speech. While می‌رود sounds poetic or administrative, میره sounds like home. It is used in songs, especially in contemporary Pop and Rock, to convey a sense of immediacy and relatability. If you use می‌رود in a coffee shop, people will understand you, but they will know you are reading from a textbook. If you use میره, you are speaking their language.

Contextual Usage: Used for: 1. Physical displacement. 2. Mechanical operation. 3. Passing of time (vagt mire - time goes). 4. Future intentions.

این جاده به شمال میره.
— Translation: This road goes to the north.

Using میره (mire) correctly involves understanding its place in the SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) structure of Persian, though in colloquial speech, the subject is often dropped because the verb ending already implies it. Since mire is specifically the 3rd person singular, the subject is usually 'un' (he/she/it) or a specific name.

The Basic Structure: [Subject] + [Destination/Prepositional Phrase] + میره. Example: 'Ali be madrese mire' (Ali goes to school). Note that in spoken Persian, 'be' (to) is often omitted: 'Ali madrese mire'.

برادرم فردا میره سفر.
— Translation: My brother is going on a trip tomorrow.

One of the most common ways to use mire is in the 'Present Continuous' sense. Unlike English, which requires 'is going', Persian uses the same form for both habitual actions and actions happening right now. To emphasize that it is happening *right now*, speakers often add the auxiliary 'dare' (is having/is in the middle of): 'Dare mire' (He/she is [currently] going).

چرا گوشیت تو شارژ نمیره؟
— Translation: Why isn't your phone charging? (Literally: Why doesn't it go into charge?)

In complex sentences, mire can act as a connector for intent. When paired with another verb in the subjunctive (the 'be-' form), it indicates that someone is going *in order to* do something. For example, 'Mire ke bekhare' (He goes to buy). This is a very common B1-level construction that allows for much more descriptive storytelling in Persian.

Common Destinations: 1. Khune (Home): 'Mire khune'. 2. Sar-e kar (To work): 'Mire sar-e kar'. 3. Birun (Outside): 'Mire birun'.

ساعت چنده؟ وقت داره میره!
— Translation: What time is it? Time is passing (going)!

If you walk through a bazaar in Tabriz or a shopping mall in Tehran, میره (mire) will be everywhere. It is the default verb for movement in 99% of spoken interactions. You will hear it in the context of transportation, social plans, and even abstract concepts like health or technology.

In Public Transport: When asking if a bus or taxi goes to a certain square: 'In otobus be Tajrish mire?' (Does this bus go to Tajrish?). The driver might respond: 'Are, mire' (Yes, it goes).
In Social Settings: Friends discussing someone's absence: 'Ali koja mire?' (Where is Ali going?). Or describing a routine: 'Un har shab kelas-e zaban mire' (He goes to language class every night).

این قطار مستقیم به مشهد میره.
— Translation: This train goes directly to Mashhad.

In Persian cinema and TV dramas, mire is used to build tension or describe character motivations. A character might say 'Daram mibinam ke dare mire' (I see that he is going/leaving). It is also very common in 'Tehrani' slang and modern lyrics. For example, in many romantic songs, the singer might lament about someone who 'mire' (leaves/goes away), signifying abandonment or the end of a relationship.

آب داره از سقف پایین میره.
— Translation: Water is going down from the ceiling (leaking).

Finally, you'll hear it in technology contexts. If a website isn't loading, a Persian speaker might say 'Site bala nemire' (The site doesn't go up/doesn't load). If a file is being sent, 'Dare mire' (It's going/sending). This versatility makes it a 'Swiss Army Knife' verb in the modern Persian lexicon.

For English speakers, the most common mistake with میره (mire) is using it in the wrong register. While it is the most common form in speech, using it in a formal essay, a business letter, or a formal speech is considered a sign of poor education or extreme informality. In those cases, you must use می‌رود (miravad).

Confusing Tenses: Learners often confuse mire (present) with raft (past). 'Un raft' means 'He went'. 'Un mire' means 'He goes' or 'He is going'. Using mire for a past action is a major grammatical error.
Subject-Verb Agreement: Remember that mire is ONLY for the 3rd person singular (he/she/it). You cannot say 'Man mire' (I go) or 'Ma mire' (We go). The correct forms would be 'Man miram' and 'Ma mirim'.

❌ من به مدرسه میره.
✅ من به مدرسه میرم.
— Common error: Incorrect person agreement.

Another mistake is the placement of the negation. Some learners put the 'ne-' in the wrong place or forget the 'mi-' prefix when negating. It must always be نمیره (nemire). Never 'mire-ne' or 'ne-raft'. Also, be careful with the word 'be' (to). While it's often dropped in speech, if you do use it, don't confuse it with 'ba' (with). 'Mire ba Ali' (He goes with Ali) vs 'Mire be Tehran' (He goes to Tehran).

❌ اون دیروز میره.
✅ اون دیروز رفت.
— Common error: Using present tense for past events.

While میره (mire) is the most common way to say 'goes', Persian offers several nuances depending on the speed, the mode of transport, or the formality of the situation. Understanding these alternatives will elevate your Persian from basic to intermediate.

راه می‌افته (rah miofte): Literally 'falls on the road'. This is used when someone 'sets off' or 'starts their journey'. While mire is about the act of going, rah miofte is about the moment of departure.
تشریف می‌بره (tashrif mibare): This is the highly polite (Ta'arof) version of 'mire'. You use this when talking about someone you respect (a teacher, an elder, a boss). It literally means 'he/she takes their presence [away]'.
جیم می‌زنه (jim mizane): Slang for 'sneaking out' or 'slipping away'. Use this when someone leaves a place quietly or avoids a responsibility.

استاد دارن تشریف می‌برن.
— Comparison: Using the polite form for a professor.

Another important distinction is between mire and miad (comes). Persian speakers are very specific about the direction of movement relative to the speaker. If the person is moving toward you, you MUST use miad. If they are moving away or to a neutral location, use mire. This is often tricky for English speakers who might use 'go' and 'come' more interchangeably in some contexts.

اون همیشه زود جیم می‌زنه از مهمونی.
— Slang: He always slips away early from the party.

語源

Derived from the Old Persian root 'gam-' or 'rab-', evolving into Middle Persian 'shudan' and 'raftan'. The present stem 'rav' comes from the Proto-Indo-European root meaning to move.

元の意味： To move, to step, or to depart.

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

文化的な背景

Be careful using 'mire' for deceased people; use 'az donya raft' (went from the world) instead.

English speakers often use 'is going' for the future. Persian 'mire' does the same, making it very intuitive for English learners.

The song 'Mire' by various Persian pop artists. The phrase 'Vagt mire' in Persian cinema. Proverb: 'Har ke mire be fekr-e khishe' (Everyone goes thinking of themselves).
