نقاشی کردن
نقاشی کردن 30秒で
- A compound verb used for artistic painting on canvas, paper, or digital screens.
- Consists of 'naghashi' (painting) and 'kardan' (to do/make).
- Used for hobbies, art classes, and professional artistic work.
- Distinct from 'rang kardan', which is used for painting walls or objects.
The Persian compound verb نقاشی کردن (naqqāši kardan) is the primary way to express the act of creating art through pigments and brushes. At its core, it combines the noun 'نقاشی' (painting/art) with the auxiliary verb 'کردن' (to do/make). While in English 'to paint' can refer to both artistic endeavors and the utilitarian act of coating a wall with color, Persian makes a sharp distinction. Use this verb when you are talking about an artist at an easel, a child with crayons, or a digital illustrator working on a tablet. It implies the creation of a representation, an image, or an abstract expression of beauty. It is a word filled with cultural weight, as Persian history is deeply intertwined with the art of the miniature and calligraphy.
- Artistic Context
- Used for oil painting, watercolor, and sketching where color is applied. It focuses on the creative process of making a 'naqsh' (pattern or image).
- Educational Context
- Commonly heard in schools during 'zang-e naghashi' (art class) where students learn to express themselves visually.

In contemporary Persian, this verb has expanded to include digital painting. If you are using Photoshop or Procreate to create an illustration, you are still 'naghashi kardan'. However, if you are simply drawing lines with a pencil without a primary focus on color or complex filling, some might prefer the word 'tarrahi kardan' (to design/sketch), though 'naghashi kardan' is often used interchangeably in casual speech. It is important to note that you would never use this verb to describe painting a house or a fence; for that, Iranians use 'rang kardan' (to color) or 'rang-kari'. Using the wrong verb here is a common marker of a non-native speaker.
When using this verb, you will notice it follows the standard pattern of Persian compound verbs. The noun 'naghashi' stays static, while the 'kardan' part conjugates to show tense, person, and number. For example, 'I am painting' becomes 'dāram naqqāši mikonam'. This structure allows for great flexibility in adding adverbs. You can 'ziba naghashi kardan' (paint beautifully) or 'ba deghat naghashi kardan' (paint with precision). The versatility of this verb makes it a cornerstone of vocabulary for anyone wishing to discuss hobbies, culture, or the aesthetic beauty of the world around them.

- Professional Use
- In galleries, curators might ask about the technique used while 'naghashi kardan', such as 'ba rang-e roghan' (with oil paint).
Mastering نقاشی کردن requires understanding the mechanics of Persian compound verbs. The verb consists of two parts: the non-verbal element (the noun 'نقاشی') and the light verb ('کردن'). In sentence construction, the object of the painting (what is being painted) usually comes before the whole verb or is integrated into the context. For example, 'I painted a flower' is 'Man yek gol naghashi kardam'. Notice how 'yek gol' (a flower) precedes the verb. If you want to specify the medium, you use the preposition 'ba' (with). 'I paint with watercolor' is 'Man ba āb-rang naqqāši mikonam'.
آیا میتوانی چهره مرا نقاشی کنی؟
- Subject-Verb Agreement
- The ending of 'kardan' must match the subject. (Man) mikonam, (To) mikoni, (Ou) mikonad, etc.
- Tense Changes
- Past: naghashi kardam. Present: naghashi mikonam. Future: naghashi khaham kard.
One nuance to be aware of is the use of 'naghashi keshidan' versus 'naghashi kardan'. While 'kardan' is the standard 'to do', 'keshidan' (to draw/pull) is also very common and often implies the act of drawing lines or sketching. In many casual contexts, they are synonyms, but 'kardan' feels slightly more formal or comprehensive of the whole painting process. When you want to describe a continuous action, use the auxiliary 'dashtan'. 'I was painting when you called' becomes 'Dashtam naghashi mikardam ke zang zadi'. This adds a layer of descriptive depth to your storytelling in Persian.
Negative forms are created by adding the prefix 'na-' to the light verb. 'I don't paint' is 'Naghashi nemikonam'. If you want to ask a question, you can simply use rising intonation or add 'aya' at the beginning. The flexibility of Persian word order allows you to emphasize different parts of the sentence. For instance, putting the medium at the beginning: 'Ba medad-rangi, ou behtarin tasvirha ra naghashi mikonad' (With colored pencils, he paints the best images). This helps in creative writing and artistic descriptions.

You will encounter نقاشی کردن in a variety of real-world Iranian settings. In a typical Iranian household, you might hear a parent encouraging a child by saying 'Bia inja naghashi kon' (Come here and paint/draw). In the educational system, 'Naghashi' is a standard subject from kindergarten through high school. If you visit the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art or the many private galleries in the Haft-e Tir or Jordan neighborhoods, you will hear critics and enthusiasts discussing the artist's style of 'naghashi kardan'.
- Art Galleries
- 'Sabk-e ou dar naghashi kardan monharef be fard ast' (His style of painting is unique).
- Social Media
- On Instagram, Iranian artists use hashtags like #naghashi or #naghashi_kardan to showcase time-lapse videos of their work.
In Iranian media, particularly in documentaries about famous figures like Kamal-ol-Molk (the father of modern Persian painting), the verb is used to describe his dedication to the craft. You might also hear it in the context of therapy; 'Naghashi-darmani' (Art therapy) is a growing field in Iran, where patients are encouraged to 'naghashi kardan' to express suppressed emotions. In these contexts, the verb takes on a psychological and healing connotation, moving beyond mere hobbyism.
Furthermore, in the bustling bazaars of Esfahan or Shiraz, you might see craftsmen 'naghashi kardan' on 'Mina-kari' (enamelware) or 'Galam-zani' (metalwork). While these are specific crafts, the general action of applying decorative colors is often described using this verb to tourists. It bridges the gap between 'fine art' and 'traditional craft'. Whether it's a street artist in Darband sketching portraits or a student in a university studio, 'naghashi kardan' is the universal term for this visual creation.

The most frequent mistake English speakers make with نقاشی کردن is 'over-extension'—using it for house painting. If you tell an Iranian 'Daram otagham ra naghashi mikonam', they will likely imagine you are painting murals or artistic designs on your bedroom walls, rather than just giving them a fresh coat of white paint. For walls, always use 'rang kardan'. Another common error is the omission of the auxiliary verb 'kardan'. You cannot just say 'Man naghashi' to mean 'I paint'. The 'kardan' is essential for the sentence to have a verb.
- The 'Keshidan' Confusion
- While 'naghashi keshidan' is acceptable, beginners often mix up the two. Stick to 'kardan' for general painting and 'keshidan' for drawing/sketching until you are more comfortable.
- Preposition Errors
- Avoid using 'dar' (in) when you mean 'with' a medium. Use 'ba' (with). Wrong: 'Dar āb-rang naghashi mikonam'. Right: 'Ba āb-rang naghashi mikonam'.
Another subtle mistake involves the word order of objects. In English, we say 'paint a picture'. In Persian, 'naghashi' is already part of the verb. So, if you say 'Yek naghashi naghashi kardam', it sounds redundant (I painted a painting). Instead, say 'Yek tasvir naghashi kardam' (I painted an image) or simply 'Naghashi kardam' if the context is clear. Furthermore, learners often forget to conjugate 'kardan' correctly in the past tense, sometimes using the present stem 'kon' instead of the past stem 'kard'.
Finally, be careful with the pluralization of the noun within the verb. You don't usually pluralize 'naghashi' when it's part of the compound verb 'naghashi kardan', even if you are painting multiple things. The verb phrase remains 'naghashi kardan'. If you want to say 'I am doing some paintings', you would say 'Dāram chand tā naqqāši mikonam', where 'naghashi' now acts as a countable noun rather than just a component of the verb. Understanding these distinctions will make your Persian sound much more natural and idiomatic.
اشتباه: من دیوار را نقاشی کردم (unless you painted a mural!).
While نقاشی کردن is the most common term, Persian offers a rich palette of synonyms and related verbs that provide more specific meanings. Depending on the medium, the style, or the intent, you might choose a different word to sound more precise. For example, 'طراحی کردن' (tarrahi kardan) is the go-to verb for sketching, designing, or drawing plans. It emphasizes line and structure over color. If you are specifically working with colors to fill in a space, 'رنگآمیزی کردن' (rang-āmizi kardan) is the term for 'coloring' or 'tinting'.
- طراحی کردن (Tarrahi Kardan)
- To sketch or design. Used by architects, fashion designers, and artists doing preliminary work.
- تصویرگری کردن (Tasvir-gari Kardan)
- To illustrate. Specifically used for book illustrations or commercial art that accompanies text.
- رنگ کردن (Rang Kardan)
- To paint (a wall) or to color something. Much more utilitarian than 'naghashi'.
In more classical or poetic contexts, you might encounter the word 'نگارگری' (negār-gari). This specifically refers to the traditional Persian miniature painting. It carries a sense of intricate detail and historical tradition. Another related term is 'قلمزدن' (ghalam-zadan), which literally means 'striking the pen/brush'. While it can mean to write, in the context of art, it refers to the brushwork or the act of applying the brush to the canvas. Using 'ghalam-zadan' suggests a focus on the technique and the physical motion of the artist.
When comparing 'naghashi kardan' and 'naghashi keshidan', remember that 'keshidan' is often used for portraits (chehre-keshidi) or when the act feels more like 'drawing' than 'painting'. However, in daily life, 'naghashi kardan' remains the most versatile and safe choice. For advanced speakers, using 'musaver kardan' (to make pictorial/illustrate) can add a formal, academic tone to your speech, especially when discussing historical manuscripts or illuminated texts.
