When food goes bad, we say it has فاسد شدن. This means it's spoiled and you shouldn't eat it anymore. You might see mold or a strange smell. For example, if milk is left out, it can فاسد شدن. It's important to keep food cold so it doesn't فاسد شدن too quickly.
자주 혼동되는 단어
Means 'to break down' or 'to go bad' in a general sense, for objects or situations, but less commonly for food spoilage. For food, 'فاسد شدن' is much more common and specific.
Means 'to rot' or 'to decay', often used for wood, fabric, or other non-food organic materials. While 'گندیدن' can apply to general decay, 'فاسد شدن' is specifically for food.
Means 'to become old' or 'to become worn out'. While old food might spoil, this term refers to age rather than the process of decay itself.
혼동하기 쉬운
Often confused with 'خراب' (kharāb) which also means 'bad' or 'broken,' but 'فاسد' specifically refers to organic decay, especially food.
Use 'فاسد' for food spoilage. Use 'خراب' for things that are broken, damaged, or generally bad in quality (e.g., a broken car, bad weather).
این شیر فاسد شده است و بوی بدی میدهد. (This milk has spoiled and smells bad.)
Learners might try to use other verbs for 'to become' with 'فاسد,' but 'شدن' is the correct and most natural choice here.
'فاسد شدن' is the standard phrase for 'to spoil/to decay' (for food).
اگر میوهها را در یخچال نگذارید، سریع فاسد میشوند. (If you don't put the fruits in the fridge, they will spoil quickly.)
Similar to 'فاسد شدن' but often implies a more advanced or unpleasant stage of decay, sometimes with a stronger emphasis on odor.
'فاسد شدن' is a general term for spoilage. 'گندیدن' often carries a stronger connotation of rot and foul smell.
جسد حیوان در آفتاب گندیده بود. (The animal's corpse had rotted in the sun.)
This is a specific type of spoilage (molding), and learners might use it interchangeably with 'فاسد شدن' when it's not always appropriate.
'فاسد شدن' is general spoilage. 'کپک زدن' is specifically 'to mold'. Moldy food is spoiled, but not all spoiled food is moldy.
این نان کپک زده است، نمیتوانید آن را بخورید. (This bread has molded, you cannot eat it.)
Means 'to become stale/leftover' which can precede spoilage but isn't the same. Stale food isn't necessarily spoiled.
'مانده شدن' means food is no longer fresh, usually refers to bread or cooked food. It might still be edible, just not fresh. 'فاسد شدن' means it's inedible.
غذای دیشب مانده شده است، اما هنوز قابل خوردن است. (Last night's food is leftover/stale, but it's still edible.)
팁
Learn the Base Verb
Understand that فاسد شدن is composed of فاسد (fasid, meaning 'corrupt' or 'spoiled') and شدن (shodan, meaning 'to become'). This structure is common for many Persian verbs, helping you deduce meanings.
Common Usage Contexts
This verb is almost exclusively used for food. You wouldn't use it for a broken car or a spoiled child. Think of milk, fruit, or meat.
Past Tense Examples
Practice with past tense. 'شیر فاسد شد.' (shir fasid shod) - 'The milk spoiled.' Or 'غذا فاسد شده بود.' (ghaza fasid shode bud) - 'The food had spoiled.'
Negative Form Practice
How do you say something didn't spoil? 'این میوه فاسد نشد.' (in mive fasid nashod) - 'This fruit didn't spoil.'
Relate to English Equivalents
Think of English phrases like 'to go bad,' 'to spoil,' 'to rot,' or 'to decay.' This helps cement the meaning of فاسد شدن.
Use with Different Foods
Try making sentences with various food items: 'نان فاسد شد.' (nan fasid shod) - 'The bread went bad.' 'گوشت فاسد شد.' (gosht fasid shod) - 'The meat spoiled.'
Avoid Misapplication
Do not confuse فاسد شدن with verbs related to 'breaking' or 'ruining' non-food items. It's specific to organic decay for consumption.
Listen for Context
When listening to Persian, pay attention to the surrounding words. If you hear فاسد شدن and a food item, you'll know exactly what's being discussed.
Write Example Sentences
Create your own sentences. For example: 'اگر غذا را در یخچال نگذارید، فاسد می شود.' (agar ghaza ra dar yakhchal nagozarid, fasid mi shavad) - 'If you don't put the food in the fridge, it will spoil.'
Consider Figurative Uses (Advanced)
While primarily for food, advanced learners might encounter figurative uses of فاسد referring to 'corrupt' systems or individuals, but فاسد شدن itself is rarely used in that figurative sense for actions.
