تأمین
تأمین 30秒で
- Ta'min means to provide or supply resources like money, food, or security.
- It is a formal word often used in business, news, and government contexts.
- It comes from the root for 'security' and implies a reliable, steady supply.
- Common phrases include 'Ta'min-e māli' (financing) and 'Ta'min-e Ejtemā'i' (Social Security).
The Persian word تأمین (pronounced Ta'min) is a sophisticated noun that sits at the intersection of security, logistics, and economics. Derived from the Arabic root 'A-M-N', which relates to safety and trust, its primary meaning in modern Persian has evolved to encompass the act of providing, supplying, or securing necessary resources. When you use this word, you are not just talking about a casual hand-off; you are describing a systematic process of ensuring that a need is met or a requirement is fulfilled. It is most commonly heard in formal contexts such as news broadcasts, business meetings, and governmental reports, yet it remains indispensable for daily conversations regarding household needs or financial stability.
- Economic Context
- In economics, it refers to 'financing' or 'funding' (تأمین مالی). It describes how a project or a company secures the capital required to operate.
دولت برای تأمین بودجه با مشکل مواجه است.
Beyond money, the word is used for the supply of physical goods. Whether it is the 'supply of electricity' (تأمین برق) during a heatwave or the 'procurement of raw materials' (تأمین مواد اولیه) for a factory, the word implies a level of responsibility and planning. It carries a weight that simpler words like 'dādan' (giving) or 'gereftan' (getting) lack. It suggests a guarantor-client relationship where the provider has a duty to ensure the supply remains steady and reliable.
- Social Context
- 'Tāmin-e Ejtemā'i' (Social Security) is perhaps the most frequent colocation, referring to the national insurance and pension system in Iran.

In everyday life, a parent might talk about 'Ta'min' when discussing the future of their children—securing their education, their housing, and their well-being. It is a word of stewardship. It conveys that the person providing is taking active steps to ensure that the future is not left to chance. This nuance makes it a powerful word in persuasive speech and professional writing.
ما باید امنیت جانی شهروندان را تأمین کنیم.
- Legal Context
- In law, 'Ta'min-e Khwāsteh' refers to a writ of attachment or securing a claim, ensuring that assets are not moved before a judgment is made.
To summarize, use 'Ta'min' when you want to emphasize the professional, systematic, or responsible provision of anything from money and food to safety and legal rights. It is the language of builders, providers, and protectors.
Using تأمین correctly requires understanding its role as a noun that frequently pairs with the light verb kardan (to do/make) to form the compound verb تأمین کردن. While it functions as 'provision' or 'supply' on its own, its active usage is where learners often struggle with prepositional placement. In most cases, the resource being provided is the direct object, often followed by the 'rā' marker if it is specific.
این شرکت قطعات خودرو را تأمین میکند.
When discussing the source or the means of provision, you might use the preposition 'az' (from) or 'tavasot-e' (by). For example, 'The budget was provided by the bank' would translate to 'Budje tavasot-e bānk ta'min shod.' Note the shift to the passive voice using shodan (to become). This is very common in news reports regarding infrastructure or international aid.
- Structure: Active Voice
- [Subject] + [Resource] + [rā] + تأمین کردن. (e.g., Mother provides the food.)
A more advanced usage involves the Ezafe construction when 'Ta'min' acts as a noun governing another noun. For instance, 'Ta'min-e niyāzhā' (meeting/providing for needs). Here, the word behaves like a gerund. This is the preferred way to use the word in titles, headings, and formal lists. It sounds much more professional than using a full sentence structure.
تأمین امنیت منطقه اولویت ماست.
In formal Persian, especially in legal or bureaucratic texts, you might see the word used with the verb 'namudan' instead of 'kardan' to increase the level of formality. 'Ta'min namudan' is identical in meaning but signals a very high register. If you are writing an academic paper or a formal letter to a government office, this is the form you should use.
- Structure: Passive Voice
- [Resource] + تأمین شدن. (e.g., The water was provided/supplied.)
Finally, consider the negative form. 'Adat-e Ta'min' (failure to provide) is a term often used in contract law. If a supplier fails to deliver, they have committed 'adam-e ta'min'. This highlights the word's inherent connection to obligation and commitment. It is not just about the act of giving; it is about the fulfillment of a promise or a requirement.
If you turn on a Persian-language news channel like IRINN or BBC Persian, you will likely hear تأمین within the first ten minutes. It is a staple of the 'News Register'. Journalists use it to discuss everything from global oil supplies to local municipal budgets. It provides a sense of authority and scale to the reporting. When a news anchor says 'Ta'min-e energy', they are talking about the massive infrastructure of power plants and grids, not just a single battery.
- The Workplace
- In a corporate setting, especially in departments like Procurement or HR, this word is used daily. 'Ta'min-e niru-ye ensāni' (Human resources provision) refers to hiring and staffing.
واحد تدارکات مسئول تأمین تجهیزات است.
Another very common place to see this word is on government buildings and official documents. The 'Sāzmān-e Ta'min-e Ejtemā'i' (Social Security Organization) is one of the largest institutions in Iran. Every employee and employer interacts with this word through their monthly insurance premiums. In this context, 'Ta'min' represents the state's promise to provide for its citizens in old age or illness. It carries a heavy connotation of social welfare and collective responsibility.
In the legal system, 'Ta'min' appears in the context of 'Ta'min-e dalil' (preservation of evidence). If you are in a car accident and need to record the state of the vehicles before they are moved, you ask for 'Ta'min-e dalil'. Here, the word means 'securing' or 'fixing' something so it cannot be lost or changed. This legal nuance is vital for anyone living or doing business in a Persian-speaking environment.
وکیل برای تأمین دلیل به محل حادثه رفت.
- Academic and Scientific Usage
- In scientific papers, it is used to describe the supply of oxygen to cells or the provision of nutrients to plants. It is the standard term for any input-output system.
Lastly, you will hear it in political speeches. Politicians often promise 'Ta'min-e maskan' (providing housing) or 'Ta'min-e eshteghāl' (securing employment). In this rhetorical sense, the word is used to project capability and commitment to the public's needs. It is a 'heavy' word that makes a promise sound more like a planned policy than just a wish.
One of the most frequent errors English speakers make when using تأمین is confusing it with simpler verbs like 'bought' or 'got'. While 'Ta'min' involves getting something, it is a much more formal and systematic process. You wouldn't usually say 'I provided (ta'min kardam) a pen for myself' if you just picked one up. Instead, you would use 'tahiye kardam' (prepared/got) or 'kharidam' (bought). Use 'Ta'min' for larger scales or more formal obligations.
- Mistake 1: Confusing with 'Amniyat'
- Because they share the same root, learners often say 'Ta'min' when they mean 'Safety'. Remember: 'Amniyat' is the noun for the *state* of being safe, while 'Ta'min' is the *act* of making something safe or available.
Incorrect: این اتاق تأمین است. (This room is provision.)
Correct: این اتاق امن است. (This room is safe.)
Another common mistake involves the spelling. In Persian, 'Ta'min' is spelled with an 'Ayin' (ع) followed by a 'Hamza' (ئ). Learners often forget the Hamza or replace it with a simple 'Ya'. While the pronunciation might sound similar in casual speech, the written form is strict. Incorrect spelling in a formal letter can significantly undermine your credibility as a proficient speaker.
- Mistake 2: Overusing 'Ta'min' in Casual Speech
- Using 'Ta'min' at a dinner table to ask for salt sounds bizarrely formal. It's like saying 'I shall procure the sodium chloride'. Use 'bedeh' (give) or 'biār' (bring) instead.
Lastly, pay attention to the preposition 'rā'. Since 'Ta'min kardan' is a transitive compound verb, the object usually needs the 'rā' marker if it's specific. Many learners omit this, making the sentence sound fragmented. For example, 'I provided the budget' should be 'Man budje *rā* ta'min kardam', not just 'Man budje ta'min kardam'.
Wrong: دولت غذا تأمین کرد. (Sounds like: Government food provided.)
Right: دولت غذا را تأمین کرد. (The government provided the food.)
By avoiding these pitfalls—over-formality, confusing it with security, and missing the 'rā' marker—you will use 'Ta'min' like a native speaker who understands the nuances of Persian register and grammar.
Persian is a language rich in synonyms, and while تأمین is the standard for 'provision', several other words cover related ground. Understanding the differences between 'Ta'min', 'Tahiye', 'Tadarok', and 'Farāham' is crucial for reaching a B2 or C1 level of proficiency. Each word carries a slightly different 'flavor' and is used in specific contexts.
- تأمین (Ta'min) vs. تهیه (Tahiye)
- 'Tahiye' is the general word for 'preparing' or 'getting'. You 'tahiye' a report or a cup of coffee. 'Ta'min' is for larger, more vital supplies like water, electricity, or funding. 'Tahiye' is more about the act of obtaining; 'Ta'min' is about ensuring availability.
من بلیت را تهیه کردم. (I got/prepared the ticket.)
بانک سرمایه را تأمین کرد. (The bank provided/secured the capital.)
Then there is تدارک (Tadarok). This word is often pluralized as 'Tadarokāt' (Logistics/Preparations). It implies getting things ready in anticipation of an event. If you are planning a wedding, you are busy with 'Tadarokāt'. While 'Ta'min' focuses on the supply itself, 'Tadarok' focuses on the effort and planning behind the supply.
- تدارک (Tadarok) vs. تأمین (Ta'min)
- Think of 'Tadarok' as the 'logistics' and 'Ta'min' as the 'actual provision'. A general 'ta'min's' (provides) the troops with food by managing the 'tadarokāt' (logistics).
Another word often confused with 'Ta'min' is تجهیز (Tajhiz). This specifically means 'equipping' or 'furnishing'. You 'tajhiz' a hospital with beds and machines. You 'ta'min' the hospital with its monthly budget. One is about the physical setup, the other is about the ongoing supply of resources.
- Comparison Table
-
- Ta'min: Systematic provision/securing (Budget, Energy).
- Tahiye: Casual getting/preparing (Food, Tickets).
- Tadarok: Logistical preparation (Events, Military).
- Tajhiz: Physical equipping (Offices, Labs).
- Farāham: Making available (Opportunities, Conditions).
In summary, choose 'Ta'min' when the stakes are high, the scale is large, or the process is formal. It is the 'heavyweight' word for making sure things are where they need to be, when they need to be there.
How Formal Is It?

よくある質問
10 問'Tahiye kardan' is for everyday tasks like getting a coffee or preparing a report. 'Ta'min kardan' is more formal and used for large-scale supplies like a city's water or a company's budget. Think of 'Tahiye' as 'getting' and 'Ta'min' as 'supplying'.
No, 'Ta'min-e Ejtemā'i' (Social Security) in Iran covers health insurance, unemployment benefits, and disability support, as well as pensions for retirees. It's a comprehensive welfare system for workers of all ages.
It is spelled 'تأمین'. Note the 'Alef' with a 'Hamza' on top (أ) after the 'Te'. This represents a slight break in the sound. Many people mistakenly write it without the Hamza, but 'تأمین' is the correct formal spelling.
Yes, 'Ta'min-e amniyat' means 'to provide/ensure security'. It is the standard way to talk about making a place or a person safe.
It means 'financing' or 'funding'. If you are looking for investors, you are looking for 'Ta'min-e māli' for your startup.
Yes, it has an Arabic root (A-M-N), but it is fully integrated into Persian and is used constantly in modern Iranian bureaucracy and daily life.
You could, but it sounds very formal. It's like saying 'I am the official supplier of nutrients for the canine'. Better to say 'be sag ghazā midaham' (I give food to the dog).
It's a legal term. If you need to record evidence (like photos of a crash) so it can be used in court later, that process is called 'Ta'min-e dalil' (securing evidence).
Not always. It can be used as a noun in an Ezafe construction, like 'Sāzmān-e Ta'min-e Ejtemā'i' (Organization of Social Security) or 'Ta'min-e budje' (Provision of budget).
There isn't one perfect opposite, but 'قطع' (Qat' - cutting off) or 'کمبود' (Kambud - shortage) are often used in contexts where supply is missing.

Summary
تأمین is the go-to word for 'provision' or 'supply' in professional Persian. Use it when you want to sound authoritative about securing resources, such as in the sentence: 'دولت باید امنیت را تأمین کند' (The government must provide security).
- Ta'min means to provide or supply resources like money, food, or security.
- It is a formal word often used in business, news, and government contexts.
- It comes from the root for 'security' and implies a reliable, steady supply.
- Common phrases include 'Ta'min-e māli' (financing) and 'Ta'min-e Ejtemā'i' (Social Security).
The Glottal Stop
Don't ignore the Hamza in 'Ta'min'. Even a tiny pause makes you sound more like a native speaker and less like a beginner.
Money Matters
If you are in a business meeting, use 'Ta'min-e māli' instead of 'gereftan-e pul'. It sounds much more professional.
Social Security
Look for the 'Ta'min-e Ejtemā'i' sign on buildings in Iran. It's a great way to see the word in its most common real-world context.
Register Check
Avoid using 'Ta'min' for small things like giving a friend a pencil. It's too heavy for casual favors.
