설명 دوشاخه in your Level:

At the A1 level, you only need to know that 'doshākhe' means an electrical plug. You will use it with simple verbs like 'zadan' (to put/hit) and 'keshidan' (to pull). It is one of the first household objects you learn because it is essential for using your phone charger or a lamp. Focus on the physical object: it has two 'branches' (pins). If you are in a room and need to charge your phone, you look for a 'priz' (socket) to put your 'doshākhe' into. Don't worry about complex grammar; just remember the object and its purpose.

At the A2 level, you should be able to use 'doshākhe' in complete sentences to describe daily routines or simple problems. You might say 'The plug is broken' (doshākhe kharāb ast) or 'I need a plug' (man yek doshākhe mikhāham). You will also start to distinguish it from 'se-shākhe' (three-pronged plug) which is common for imported goods. You should be able to ask for help: 'Can you plug this in?' (mishavad in doshākhe ra be bargh bezanid?). You are building the vocabulary to handle basic shopping for electrical accessories.

At the B1 level, you can discuss 'doshākhe' in the context of safety and basic troubleshooting. You can explain why something isn't working: 'The plug isn't fully in' (doshākhe kāmel dākhel-e priz nist). You can understand instructions on appliance labels, such as 'unplug after use'. You also start to use the word with more descriptive adjectives like 'shol' (loose) or 'mohkam' (tight). Your ability to use the Ezafe construction correctly with this word improves, allowing you to specify 'the TV plug' or 'the iron's plug'.

At the B2 level, you can handle more technical discussions involving 'doshākhe'. This includes understanding different types of plugs (industrial vs. domestic) and the concept of grounding (etesāl be zamin). You can participate in conversations about home renovation or electrical repairs. You understand the nuances of verbs like 'jā zadan' (to fit in/insert) versus 'be bargh zadan'. You can also read news articles about fire safety that might mention faulty plugs as a cause of accidents. Your vocabulary expands to include 'tabdil' (adapter) and 'rābet' (extension).

At the C1 level, your understanding of 'doshākhe' includes its less common meanings, such as the 'fork' of a bicycle or technical components in machinery. You can use the word in metaphorical or highly specific technical contexts without hesitation. You understand the cultural nuances of electrical standards in Iran versus other countries. You can write formal reports or complaints about faulty electrical equipment, using precise terminology like 'etesāli' (short circuit) or 'doshākhe-ye standard'. You can also understand puns or wordplay involving the 'two branches' meaning.

At the C2 level, you have complete mastery. You can discuss the engineering specifications of 'doshākhe' components, the history of electrical standards in the Middle East, and the etymological roots of the word. You can use the term in complex literary metaphors where 'branching' might represent a choice or a split path, though still recognizing its primary mundane meaning. You can translate technical manuals with 100% accuracy and navigate any conversation regarding electrical infrastructure, from the smallest household plug to large-scale industrial connectors.

دوشاخه 30초 만에

Doshākhe means 'electrical plug' in Persian.
It literally translates to 'two branches' (do + shākhe).
It is used with the verbs 'zadan' (to plug in) and 'keshidan' (to unplug).
Essential for daily life, safety, and using any electronic device.

The Persian word دوشاخه (pronounced 'do-shā-khe') is a fundamental noun in everyday life, specifically within the realm of electronics and home maintenance. At its most basic level, it refers to an electrical plug—the device at the end of a cord that you insert into a wall outlet to provide power to an appliance. The word itself is a fascinating example of Persian descriptive compounding. It is formed from do (meaning 'two') and shākhe (meaning 'branch' or 'prong'). Thus, it literally translates to 'two-branched,' which perfectly describes the appearance of a standard Type C or Type F power plug commonly used throughout Iran and much of Europe. When you are setting up a new television, charging your mobile phone, or using a kitchen blender, you are interacting with a دوشاخه.

Physical Description: In the Iranian context, this usually refers to the round-pin European style plug. While modern plugs might have three pins (including a ground), the term 'doshākhe' remains the standard generic term for any plug.

قبل از تمیز کردن جاروبرقی، حتماً دوشاخه را از پریز بکشید.
— Before cleaning the vacuum cleaner, make sure to pull the plug out of the socket.

Usage of this word is not limited to technical manuals; it is a household staple. If a child is playing near an outlet, a parent might shout 'به دوشاخه دست نزن!' (Don't touch the plug!). In a professional office setting, you might ask a colleague, 'آیا دوشاخه کامپیوتر به برق وصل است؟' (Is the computer plug connected to the electricity?). The word is ubiquitous because our modern lives are entirely dependent on the electrical grid, and the دوشاخه is the physical bridge between our tools and that energy source. Understanding this word is essential for anyone living in or visiting a Persian-speaking environment, as it relates to safety, utility, and basic daily functions.

The Concept of 'Tabdil': Often, travelers bring devices with three-pronged plugs (like UK or US styles). In these cases, they need a 'tabdil' (adapter) to convert their plug into a standard Persian 'doshākhe'.

این دوشاخه خراب شده است و جرقه می‌زند.

Metaphorical Extensions: While primarily technical, the concept of 'two branches' can appear in geometry or botany, but 'doshākhe' as a standalone noun almost exclusively implies the electrical component.

من به دنبال یک دوشاخه ضد آب برای حیاط هستم.

Using دوشاخه in a sentence requires an understanding of its relationship with the 'priz' (socket) and 'bargh' (electricity). The most common verbs used with this noun are zadan (to hit/put in) and keshidan (to pull out). For example, to say 'Plug in the lamp,' you would say 'دوشاخه لامپ را به پریز بزن.' Conversely, to say 'Unplug the iron,' you use 'دوشاخه اتو را از پریز بکش.' Note how the preposition 'be' (to) is used for plugging in, and 'az' (from) is used for unplugging. This reflects the physical movement of the object in space. Because it is a concrete noun, it follows standard Persian pluralization rules, becoming doshākhe-hā when referring to multiple plugs.

Verb Pairing: Zadan: 'Be bargh zadan' (to connect to electricity) is often used interchangeably with 'be priz zadan' (to connect to the socket).

او دوشاخه تلفن را اشتباهی به پریز برق زد.
— He accidentally plugged the phone jack into the power outlet.

In more formal or technical contexts, you might encounter the word etesāl (connection). A manual might state: 'اطمینان حاصل کنید که دوشاخه به طور کامل در پریز قرار گرفته است' (Ensure that the plug is fully seated in the socket). When describing the quality of a plug, adjectives like shol (loose) or mohkam (firm/tight) are frequently used. A 'doshākhe-ye shol' is a fire hazard and a common complaint in older Iranian buildings where sockets might be worn out. If you are buying a new appliance, you might ask about the type of plug: 'آیا این دوشاخه به پریزهای ایران می‌خورد؟' (Does this plug fit Iranian sockets?).

Possessive Constructions: Using the Ezafe construction: 'doshākhe-ye rādiyo' (radio's plug), 'doshākhe-ye shārzher' (charger's plug).

چرا دوشاخه یخچال داغ شده است؟

Instructional Context: In DIY repairs, you might hear: 'ابتدا سیم را به دوشاخه وصل کنید' (First connect the wire to the plug).

You will encounter the word دوشاخه in a variety of real-world scenarios in Iran. The most common place is within the home. Morning routines often involve it: 'دوشاخه کتری برقی را بزن تا آب جوش بیاید' (Plug in the electric kettle so the water boils). It is also a frequent topic in hardware stores (Abzār Foroushi) or electrical shops (Electrici). If you go to a shop to buy a replacement, you would say, 'یک دوشاخه معمولی می‌خواهم' (I want a standard plug). The shopkeeper might then ask if you need a 'doshākhe-ye san'ati' (industrial plug) or a simple 'doshākhe-ye khānegi' (home plug).

In the Kitchen: Kitchens are full of 'doshākhe'. Managing them often requires 'se-rāhi' (power strips) because there are never enough 'priz' (sockets).

همیشه بعد از کار با اتو، دوشاخه را از برق می‌کشم.
— I always pull the plug from the electricity after working with the iron.

Another common location is the office or a co-working space. You will often hear people asking, 'پریز کجاست؟ می‌خواهم دوشاخه لپ‌تاپم را بزنم' (Where is the socket? I want to plug in my laptop). In public places like airports or cafes, the search for a 'priz' to accommodate one's 'doshākhe' is a universal modern struggle. On the news or in safety PSA (Public Service Announcement) videos, you might hear warnings about overloaded power strips: 'چندین دوشاخه را به یک پریز وصل نکنید' (Do not connect several plugs to one socket). This word is also found in literature or news reports regarding electrical fires, where a 'doshākhe-ye na-imān' (unsafe plug) might be cited as the cause.

Hotels and Travel: When checking into a hotel, a guest might complain: 'دوشاخه آباژور به پریز نمی‌رسد' (The lamp plug doesn't reach the socket).

این دوشاخه تبدیل لازم دارد.

Repair Shops: Repairmen often say: 'مشکل از خودِ دستگاه نیست، دوشاخه‌اش اتصالی دارد' (The problem isn't the device itself, the plug has a short circuit).

One of the most frequent mistakes for Persian learners is confusing دوشاخه (the plug) with پریز (the socket/outlet). Remember: the doshākhe goes *into* the priz. A learner might say 'پریز را به برق بزن' (Plug the socket into the electricity), which is physically impossible and logically incorrect. Another common error involves the verbs. While zadan (to hit) is the standard verb for 'to plug in,' some learners try to use vasl kardan (to connect) in informal speech. While vasl kardan is grammatically correct, it sounds a bit too formal for asking someone to plug in a toaster.

Gender and Plurality: Persian doesn't have grammatical gender, but learners from Romance languages often try to assign one. Don't! Just focus on the Ezafe.

اشتباه: من پریز را در آوردم. (I took out the socket.)
درست: من دوشاخه را در آوردم. (I took out the plug.)

Phonetically, learners might confuse doshākhe with doshanbe (Monday). While they both start with 'do', they are obviously very different. Another mistake is using the word shākhe alone. While 'shākhe' means branch, in the context of electricity, omitting the 'do' (two) can sometimes be confusing, although in very technical slang, electricians might do it. Furthermore, learners often forget the preposition be (to) when using the verb zadan. You must say 'doshākhe ra **be** priz bezan'. Omitting 'be' makes the sentence sound incomplete.

Confusing with 'Sim': 'Sim' is the wire/cord. The 'doshākhe' is just the plastic and metal piece at the end. Don't call the whole cord a 'doshākhe'.

اشتباه: دوشاخه را روشن کن. (Turn on the plug - Incorrect)
درست: دستگاه را روشن کن. (Turn on the device - Correct)

Preposition Errors: Using 'dar' (in) instead of 'be' (to). While 'dar priz' is understood, 'be priz' is the idiomatic standard.

While دوشاخه is the most common term, there are several related words you should know to navigate electrical topics in Persian. The most important is se-shākhe (three-pronged plug). With the influx of electronics from the UK and China, many devices in Iran now come with three pins. These cannot fit into a standard Iranian socket without a tabdil (adapter). Therefore, you will often hear the phrase 'تبدیل سه به دو' (a three-to-two adapter), which is a small device that accepts a se-shākhe and has a doshākhe on the other side to plug into the wall.

Doshākhe vs. Priz: The 'doshākhe' is the male connector (plug), and 'priz' is the female connector (socket/outlet). They are a pair.

برای این لپ‌تاپ باید یک تبدیل بخرم چون سه‌شاخه است.

Other related terms include madegi and naragi. These are technical terms used by electricians to describe female and male connectors respectively. A 'doshākhe' is a type of naragi. If you are looking for an extension cord, you ask for a rābet or a se-rāhi (literally 'three-way', but used for any power strip). In some very old texts or specific dialects, you might hear shākhe-ye bargh, but this is rare in modern Tehran. In the context of telecommunications, a phone plug is often called Soket-e telefon, distinguishing it from the electrical doshākhe.

Comparison Table

Doshākhe: Standard 2-pin plug.
Se-shākhe: 3-pin plug (needs adapter).
Tabdil: The adapter itself.
Priz: The wall outlet.

دوشاخه تلفن با دوشاخه برق فرق دارد.

Industrial Terms: In factories, they use 'doshākhe-ye tek-fāz' (single-phase) or 'se-fāz' (three-phase) for heavy machinery.

자주 하는 실수

Saying 'Doshākhe rā roushan kon'. → Dastgāh rā roushan kon.
You turn on a device, not the plug itself. You 'plug in' the plug.
Confusing 'Doshākhe' with 'Priz'. → Doshākhe (Plug), Priz (Socket).
Learners often swap these. Remember: Plug goes into Socket.
Using 'dar' instead of 'be' for plugging in. → Doshākhe rā **be** priz bezan.
While 'dar' (in) might be understood, 'be' (to) is the idiomatic preposition for this action.
Calling a 3-pin plug a 'Doshākhe'. → Se-shākhe.
Since 'do' means two, it's technically incorrect to call a 3-pin plug a 'doshākhe'. Use 'se-shākhe'.
Pronouncing it 'Doshāke'. → Doshākhe (with a guttural KH).
Missing the 'kh' sound changes the word and makes it harder for natives to understand.

팁

Dry Hands

Never touch the 'doshākhe' with wet hands to avoid electric shock. This is a common warning in Persian households.

Verb Choice

Remember to use 'zadan' for plugging in and 'keshidan' for unplugging. These are the most natural-sounding verbs.

Buy a Tabdil

If you are traveling to Iran with UK/US electronics, buy a 'tabdil-e se-be-do' (3-to-2 adapter) as soon as you arrive.

Literal Meaning

Remembering 'Two Branches' will help you never forget the word 'doshākhe'.

Voltage

Iran uses 220V. Make sure your 'doshākhe' and the device it belongs to are compatible before plugging in.

Loose Plugs

If a 'doshākhe' is 'shol' (loose) in the 'priz', it can cause a fire. Replace the plug or the socket immediately.

The KH sound

Don't be afraid of the 'kh' sound in 'shākhe'. It's the same sound as in 'Khayyam' or 'Khan'.

Electrici

Go to an 'Electrici' (electrical shop) if you need a replacement 'doshākhe'. They are very cheap and easy to find.

Phone Chargers

While a phone charger has a 'doshākhe', people often just call the whole thing 'shārzher'.

Ancient Roots

The root 'shākhe' is used for many things that branch out, like roads or tree limbs. It's a very versatile root.

암기하기

기억법

Think of a 'DODO' bird with two 'SHAKY' branches for legs. 'Do-Shākhe' is the two-pronged plug.

시각적 연상

Imagine a tree branch that splits into exactly two smaller twigs. Now imagine those twigs are metal and you are plugging them into a wall.

챌린지

Go around your room and point at every 'doshākhe' you see, saying 'In yek doshākhe ast' (This is a plug).

어원

From Middle Persian. 'Do' comes from Proto-Indo-European *dwóh₁ (two). 'Shākhe' comes from Middle Persian 'shāg' (branch).

원래 의미: Literally 'two branches'.

Indo-European (Indo-Iranian branch).

문화적 맥락

Be careful when discussing electrical repairs in Iran; many buildings have old wiring that doesn't meet modern safety codes.

Unlike the UK (3-pin) or US (flat 2-pin), Iran uses round 2-pin plugs. This is a major point of confusion for travelers.

Technical manuals for Saipa/Iran Khodro cars (spark plug terminology). Safety posters in Iranian primary schools. DIY YouTube channels in Persian (e.g., 'Ostad-kār').

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

Doshākhe is the 'male' plug at the end of a cord, while Priz is the 'female' socket or outlet in the wall. You insert the Doshākhe into the Priz.

Usually, no. For USB, people use the word 'Soket' or 'Shārzher'. Doshākhe is reserved for the 220V power prongs.

It is a neutral, standard word used in both formal manuals and everyday informal conversation.

You say 'Doshākhe rā be bargh bezan' or 'Doshākhe rā be priz bezan'.

Iran primarily uses 2-pin (Type C and F) plugs. 3-pin plugs (UK style) require an adapter called a 'tabdil'.

It literally means 'two branches' (Do + Shākhe), describing the two metal prongs.

Yes, 'Doshākhe-hā'. For example: 'Doshākhe-hā rā jam kon' (Gather the plugs/cords).

Use 'keshidan' (to pull). 'Doshākhe rā bekesh' means 'Unplug it'.

No. A fork for eating is 'Changāl'. 'Doshākhe' is only for branches, plugs, or bicycle forks.

As long as your hands are dry and you touch the plastic housing, it is safe. Never touch the metal pins while they are partially in the socket.
