Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

To give a command, use the verb stem plus the prefix 'be-' for affirmative or 'na-' for negative.

  • Add 'be-' to the stem for singular informal: 'برو' (Go!)
  • Add '-id' to the stem for plural/formal: 'بروید' (Go! - formal/plural)
  • Use 'na-' instead of 'be-' for negative commands: 'نرو' (Don't go!)
Prefix (be/na) + Verb Stem + Suffix (optional -id) = Command

The 'Compound' Shortcut

In modern Persian, almost all verbs are compound (Verb + Kardan/Zadan). You almost never use 'be-' with these. 'Kar bokon' sounds like a 13th-century poem; just say 'Kar kon'!
⚠️

Don't 'Boro' Your Boss

Using singular commands with elders or superiors is a major social faux pas. When in doubt, always add that '-id' ending.
💬

Tarof and Commands

Iranians use commands for hospitality. If someone says 'Bokhor!' (Eat!) ten times, they aren't being bossy; they're being a good host!

Smart Tips

Use 'لطفاً' + formal verb.

کمک کن. → لطفاً کمک کنید.

Use the formal '-id' suffix.

برو راست. → بروید راست.

Always use 'na-'.

بـنرو. → نرو.

Use informal forms.

بفرمایید بنشینید. → بنشین.

발음

be-ROO

Prefix stress

The 'be-' prefix is usually unstressed.

Command

برو! ↘

Falling intonation for directness.

암기하기

기억법

Remember 'BE' for 'BE-gin' (affirmative) and 'NA' for 'NA-y' (negative).

시각적 연상

Imagine a traffic light: Green 'BE-' light says 'Go!', Red 'NA-' light says 'Stop!'

Rhyme

For positive say 'be', for negative say 'na', that's how you command in Persian, ha!

Story

Ali tells his friend 'بیا' (Come). Then he tells his boss 'بیایید' (Come - formal). Finally, he tells his dog 'نیا' (Don't come).

챌린지

Write 5 commands you would give to a friend in 5 minutes.

문화 노트

In Tehran, the 'be-' prefix is often dropped in very casual speech.

Always use the formal '-id' suffix when speaking to elders.

Imperatives are often used in poetry for dramatic effect.

The Persian imperative stems from Middle Persian forms.

대화 시작하기

“

بیا اینجا.

“

لطفاً این را بخوانید.

“

چرا به من گوش نمی‌دهید؟

“

لطفاً در این مورد تصمیم بگیرید.
