When we talk about putting something in the ground and covering it up, like a treasure or a plant, we use the verb دفن کردن (daf-an kardan).
You might hear this when people talk about burying a seed to help it grow, or when a dog buries its bone.
It simply means to place something underground and cover it.
When we talk about “دفن کردن” (daf kardan), we are usually talking about burying something or someone. This verb is super common in Persian, and you will hear it in lots of different situations. For example, you might bury a treasure, or a pet. But you also might “bury” something like your feelings or a secret. You can even talk about burying something under a pile of papers! It’s a very practical verb to know.
When using the verb "دفن کردن" (dafn kardan), it's important to understand how it combines with nouns. You'll typically use it with direct objects, like "دفن کردن جسد" (dafn kardan-e jasad), meaning "to bury a body."
The verb itself is straightforward: "دفن کردن" (dafn kardan) means "to bury" or "to inter." It's often used in contexts related to graves, secrets, or even putting things away carefully. Pay attention to the prepositions that might accompany it in more complex sentences.
When discussing burial and interment in a more sophisticated context, such as historical accounts, cultural rituals, or legal frameworks, the verb "دفن کردن" (dafn kardan) is the appropriate and most common term. It maintains its core meaning of placing something, especially a deceased person, into the ground. However, at a C2 level, you might encounter more nuanced uses or be expected to understand its implications in broader societal discussions. For instance, you could be reading about ancient burial practices, the ethics surrounding interment, or even metaphorical uses related to 'burying' a secret or a memory, though for the latter, other verbs might be more common depending on the exact nuance. The key is to recognize its foundational role in discussions of death and remembrance.

§ دفن کردن (dafn kardan) vs. other words for burying
When you're learning Persian, you'll find that sometimes there are several ways to say something that seems simple in English. 'To bury' is a good example. The most common and direct translation you'll learn at an A2 level is دفن کردن (dafn kardan). This is your go-to word for most situations, especially for burying objects or people.
- DEFINITION
- To bury, to inter. This word is very common and can be used for both literal burial (like a body or a treasure) and sometimes metaphorically (though less commonly than in English).
آنها گنج را دفن کردند.
Hint: آنها (they) گنج (treasure) را (object marker) دفن کردند (buried).
مراسم دفن دیروز برگزار شد.
Hint: مراسم (ceremony) دفن (burial) دیروز (yesterday) برگزار شد (was held).
§ When to use دفن کردن (dafn kardan)
دفن کردن (dafn kardan) is your most general and safest bet for 'to bury'. It covers:
- Burying a deceased person or animal.
- Burying objects, like treasure, waste, or time capsules.
- The act of interment itself.
§ Other words to be aware of (for later!)
While دفن کردن (dafn kardan) is the primary word you need right now, it's helpful to know that there are other related terms, which you'll encounter as you progress. Don't worry about mastering these yet, but recognize them:
- خاک کردن (khâk kardan): Literally 'to soil' or 'to dust'. This term is very common when specifically talking about burying a deceased person or animal in the ground. It emphasizes the act of putting something into the earth/soil. While often interchangeable with دفن کردن for human burial, خاک کردن has a slightly more direct, earthly connotation.
او مرده را خاک کرد.
Hint: او (he/she) مرده (the deceased) را (object marker) خاک کرد (buried).
- مدفون کردن (madfoon kardan): This is a more formal or literary way to say 'to bury' or 'to inter'. It comes from the Arabic root for 'buried'. You might see this in official documents, poetry, or more elevated speech. It's less common in everyday conversation.
The key takeaway for now is to stick with دفن کردن (dafn kardan) as your main word for 'to bury'. It's versatile and widely understood. As your Persian improves, you'll naturally pick up the nuances of خاک کردن (khâk kardan) and مدفون کردن (madfoon kardan) from context. For your A2 level, focus on getting comfortable using دفن کردن correctly in sentences.

دفن کردن (dafn kardan) is a common verb in Persian that means to bury or to inter. It's used when talking about placing something, especially a deceased person, into the ground.
You'll often hear it in contexts related to funerals, archaeological digs, or sometimes even when referring to burying objects. For example:
- جسد را دفن کردند. (Jasad ra dafn kardand.) - They buried the body.
- آنجا گنجی دفن شده است. (Ānjā ganji dafn shode ast.) - A treasure is buried there.
A common mistake for English speakers is to confuse دفن کردن with simply 'to cover' or 'to hide' something with earth. While burying involves covering, دفن کردن specifically implies the act of putting something into the ground, often with the intention of it remaining there permanently or for a significant period. If you just want to say 'to cover' with earth, other verbs like پوشاندن (pooshāndan) might be more appropriate depending on the context.
Also, remember that کردن (kardan) is the light verb here, making دفن کردن a compound verb. You wouldn't typically just use 'دفن' on its own as a verb.

This sentence means 'They buried the body in the garden.' The correct order is 'subject + object + location + verb'.
This sentence means 'He buried Shirin in the ground.' The correct order is 'object + location + verb'.
This sentence means 'My father was buried in the cemetery.' The correct order is 'subject + location + verb (passive voice)'.
آنها تصمیم گرفتند گنج پنهان را در باغ قدیمی ______.
The sentence implies hiding something in the garden, and 'دفن کردن' (to bury) fits this context perfectly. The other options 'to find', 'to build', and 'to pick up' do not make sense in this context.
بعد از مراسم، پیکر او در آرامگاه خانوادگی ______ شد.
The sentence describes what happens to a body after a ceremony, and 'دفن شدن' (to be buried) is the appropriate word here. 'Forgotten', 'found', and 'released' are not suitable.
باستانشناسان امید داشتند که آثار باستانی بیشتری را در زیر خاک ______.
While 'دفن کردن' means to bury, archaeologists are looking to 'discover' or 'unearth' ancient artifacts, not to bury them. The context implies finding what is already buried. However, if the intent is to say they hope to find more places to bury, then 'دفن کنند' could be an option. Given the context of archaeology, 'کشف کنند' (to discover) is more appropriate as they are looking for things that were buried in the past, not actively burying new things. But since the original word is 'دفن کردن', we should choose an option that uses the word itself. Let's re-evaluate. If the original word was 'دفن کردن', and the question is about what archaeologists hope to do, they hope to *find* what was buried. So if the options don't include 'find', then the question is likely about what *was* buried. Let's adjust the question slightly to make 'دفن' the clear answer for the verb 'دفن کردن'. New Question: "باستانشناسان معتقدند که گنجینههای زیادی در این منطقه ______ شدهاند." New Options: ["پیدا", "دفن", "ساخته", "مخفی"] Correct: "دفن"
آنها اسناد محرمانه را در باغ پشتی ______ تا کسی آنها را پیدا نکند.
To prevent someone from finding secret documents, burying them is a common method. 'Burned', 'torn', and 'hidden' are also ways to conceal, but 'دفن کردند' (they buried) directly uses the target verb.
مردم روستا رسم داشتند که اشیاء با ارزش را قبل از حمله دشمن ______.
To protect valuable items from an enemy attack, burying them (دفن کردن) is a logical course of action. 'Sell', 'show', and 'flee' are not directly about protecting the objects in this manner.
کشاورز سنگهای بزرگ را در گوشهای از زمین خود ______ تا مانع شخم زدن نشوند.
To prevent large stones from interfering with plowing, a farmer would likely bury them (دفن کرد). 'Collected', 'broke', and 'removed' are other actions, but 'دفن کرد' specifically addresses putting them underground.

This sentence describes burying a body in an old garden. The correct order places the object 'جسد' (body) first, followed by 'را' (direct object marker), then the location 'در باغ قدیمی' (in the old garden), and finally the verb 'دفن کردند' (they buried).
This sentence refers to ancient artifacts buried hidden under the soil. The correct order starts with the subject 'اشیا باستانی' (ancient artifacts), followed by the descriptive phrase 'زیر خاک پنهان' (hidden under the soil), and then the passive verb 'دفن شده بودند' (had been buried).
This sentence uses 'دفن کردن' metaphorically, meaning to bury bitter memories deep in one's heart.
