غیر ممکن 30초 만에
- Impossible: Cannot happen or be done.
- Persian: غیر ممکن (gheir-e momken).
- Used for situations with no possibility.
- Strong word; use carefully.
The Persian word 'غیر ممکن' (gheir-e momken) is an adjective that directly translates to 'impossible' in English. It's used to describe a situation, task, or outcome that cannot happen or be achieved. Think of it as the opposite of 'possible' or 'feasible'.
You'll encounter this word in a wide range of contexts, from everyday conversations to more formal discussions. For instance, if someone is attempting a task that is extremely difficult and has no chance of success, you might hear them say it's 'غیر ممکن'. Similarly, if a scientific or technological advancement is currently beyond our capabilities, it would be considered 'غیر ممکن'.
- Literal Breakdown
- 'غیر' (gheir) means 'non-' or 'un-', and 'ممکن' (momken) means 'possible'. Together, they form 'impossible'.
این کار غیر ممکن است.
It's a strong word, so it's often used when there's a clear and definite lack of possibility. However, people might also use it hyperbolically to express that something is extremely difficult, even if not literally impossible. Understanding the context is key to grasping the speaker's true intention.
Consider a dream that is so far-fetched it feels 'غیر ممکن' to achieve, or a scientific problem that current knowledge cannot solve. These are prime examples of where 'غیر ممکن' fits perfectly. It conveys a sense of finality and the absence of any viable path forward.
- Usage Scenarios
- - Describing a task that cannot be completed due to physical limitations.
- Expressing that a certain outcome is not achievable under the given circumstances.
- Discussing theoretical impossibilities in science or philosophy.
- Hyperbolically describing something as extremely difficult.
The word carries a definitive tone. It's not a suggestion that something is merely challenging; it's a statement that it cannot be done. This makes it a powerful term in conveying absolute limitations.

In essence, 'غیر ممکن' is your go-to word in Persian when you need to express that something is absolutely, unequivocally, not going to happen.
Using 'غیر ممکن' (gheir-e momken) correctly in sentences involves understanding its role as an adjective. It typically follows the noun it modifies or is used with a linking verb like 'است' (ast - is/are) or 'بود' (bud - was/were).
The most common structure is 'Noun + غیر ممکن + است/بود'. For example, 'این کار غیر ممکن است' (in kar gheir-e momken ast) means 'This task is impossible'. Here, 'کار' (kar - task) is the noun, and 'غیر ممکن' describes it.
- Basic Sentence Structure
- Subject + غیر ممکن + Linking Verb (است/بود)
رسیدن به ماه در قرن هفدهم غیر ممکن بود.
You can also place 'غیر ممکن' before the noun it modifies, especially in more literary or emphatic contexts, though this is less common in everyday speech for this particular phrase. However, it's more natural to use it after the noun or with a linking verb.
Another common pattern is using it with pronouns or demonstratives: 'این غیر ممکن است' (in gheir-e momken ast - This is impossible) or 'آن غیر ممکن بود' (an gheir-e momken bud - That was impossible).
- Using with Pronouns
- Demonstrative Pronoun + غیر ممکن + Linking Verb
فکر میکردم این غیر ممکن است.
When discussing a general concept or idea, you can also use it without a specific noun: 'غیر ممکن است!' (gheir-e momken ast! - It's impossible!). This is a common exclamation.
To make sentences more complex, you can add clauses. For instance, 'اگر تلاش نکنی، موفقیت غیر ممکن است' (agar talash nakoni, movaffaqiyat gheir-e momken ast) - 'If you don't try, success is impossible'. Here, 'موفقیت' (movaffaqiyat - success) is the subject modified by 'غیر ممکن'.
بدون دانش کافی، حل این مسئله غیر ممکن خواهد بود.
Remember that 'غیر ممکن' is a strong adjective. Use it when you truly mean that something cannot be done. Overusing it might lessen its impact.
- Common Sentence Patterns
- - [Noun Phrase] + غیر ممکن + است/بود.
- این/آن + غیر ممکن + است/بود.
- [Clause] + [Noun Phrase] + غیر ممکن + است/بود.
- غیر ممکن + است/بود (as an exclamation).
You'll hear 'غیر ممکن' (gheir-e momken) in a variety of real-life situations, reflecting its broad applicability. It's not confined to academic or highly formal settings; it's a common part of everyday Persian speech.
In casual conversations among friends or family, it might be used to express frustration or disbelief about a situation. For example, if someone is struggling with a task and feels they can't proceed, they might exclaim, 'دیگه این کار از دست من برنمیاد، غیر ممکن است!' (dige in kar az dast-e man barnyad, gheir-e momken ast!) - 'I can't do this anymore, it's impossible!'
گفت که تا فردا تمامش کند، ولی این غیر ممکن است.
In educational settings, teachers might use it to explain certain scientific principles or historical limitations. For instance, a history teacher might say, 'در آن زمان، سفر به قطب شمال غیر ممکن بود' (dar an zaman, safar be qotb-e shomal gheir-e momken bud) - 'At that time, traveling to the North Pole was impossible'.
- Academic Contexts
- - Explaining scientific limitations.
- Discussing historical impossibilities.
- In mathematics, referring to proofs of impossibility.
When discussing plans or ambitions, 'غیر ممکن' can be used to temper expectations or highlight the sheer difficulty of a goal. A parent might tell a child dreaming of something unrealistic, 'عزیزم، این خواسته کمی غیر ممکن به نظر میرسد' (aziz-am, in khasteh kami gheir-e momken be nazar miresad) - 'My dear, this wish seems a bit impossible'.
In news reports or discussions about current events, you might hear it when referring to geopolitical situations, economic forecasts, or technological challenges. For example, 'حل بحران اقتصادی فعلی در کوتاهمدت غیر ممکن است' (hal-e bohran-e eqtesadi-ye fe'li dar kutah-moddat gheir-e momken ast) - 'Solving the current economic crisis in the short term is impossible'.
بدون تغییرات اساسی، دستیابی به این هدف غیر ممکن است.
In the realm of sports or competitions, coaches or commentators might use it to describe a seemingly insurmountable deficit or an unbelievable comeback. 'با این اختلاف امتیاز، پیروزی غیر ممکن است' (ba in ekhtelaf-e emtiaz, piruzi gheir-e momken ast) - 'With this point difference, victory is impossible'.
Essentially, any situation where something is deemed unachievable, either factually or perceived as such, is a place where 'غیر ممکن' will likely be heard.
- Common Scenarios
- - Expressing personal frustration with a difficult task.
- Describing historical or technological limitations.
- Setting realistic expectations for goals.
- Commenting on unlikely scenarios in sports or games.
- Discussing complex societal or economic challenges.
While 'غیر ممکن' (gheir-e momken) is a straightforward word, learners sometimes make mistakes, often related to its usage, intensity, or confusion with similar concepts. Understanding these common pitfalls can help you use the word more accurately.
One common mistake is using 'غیر ممکن' for things that are merely difficult. While it can be used hyperbolically, its literal meaning is absolute impossibility. If something is just challenging, using 'خیلی سخت' (kheyli sakht - very difficult) or 'دشوار' (doshvar - difficult) might be more appropriate. Overusing 'غیر ممکن' for less extreme situations dilutes its impact.
Another issue can be with grammatical placement or agreement, though 'غیر ممکن' as an adjective is relatively stable. However, ensuring it correctly modifies the intended noun or concept is crucial. For instance, saying 'غیر ممکن کار' (gheir-e momken kar) is less natural than 'کار غیر ممکن' (kar-e gheir-e momken) or 'این کار غیر ممکن است' (in kar gheir-e momken ast).
- Mistake 1: Overuse for Difficulty
- Using 'غیر ممکن' when 'very difficult' is more accurate. For example, calling a tough exam 'impossible' when it's just hard.
Mistake: این امتحان غیر ممکن بود.
A related error is confusing it with words that imply a lack of feasibility or practicality rather than absolute impossibility. For instance, something might be 'غیر عملی' (gheir-e amali - impractical) but not strictly 'غیر ممکن'.
Pronunciation can also be a minor hurdle for beginners. Ensuring the correct stress and intonation, especially the 'gheir' sound, is important for clarity. However, the word itself is phonetically straightforward for most learners.
- Mistake 2: Grammatical Placement
- Incorrect word order, such as placing 'غیر ممکن' before the noun it modifies in a way that sounds unnatural in standard Persian.
Mistake: یک غیر ممکن کار.
Finally, learners might sometimes forget to include the linking verb 'است' (ast) or 'بود' (bud) when 'غیر ممکن' functions as the predicate adjective, leading to incomplete sentences. For example, just saying 'این غیر ممکن' (in gheir-e momken) is grammatically incomplete in most contexts.
Being mindful of these common errors will significantly improve your fluency and accuracy when using 'غیر ممکن'.
- Mistake 3: Missing Linking Verb
- Omitting the necessary linking verb ('است' or 'بود') when 'غیر ممکن' is used predicatively.
Mistake: این غیر ممکن.
While 'غیر ممکن' (gheir-e momken) is the primary word for 'impossible', Persian offers several other words and phrases that convey similar meanings, ranging from extreme difficulty to lack of feasibility. Understanding these nuances allows for more precise expression.
The most direct alternative to 'غیر ممکن' is 'محال' (mahāl). Both words mean impossible, but 'محال' often carries a slightly more formal or literary tone. It's frequently used in contexts where something is considered beyond belief or fundamentally contradictory.
- 'محال' (mahāl)
- Meaning: Impossible, absurd, unthinkable. Often used for things that defy logic or are highly improbable.
- Example: 'باور کردنش برایم محال بود.' (bāvar kardanesh barāyam mahāl bud.) - Believing it was impossible for me.
- Example: 'این ادعا محال به نظر میرسد.' (in edde'ā mahāl be nazar miresad.) - This claim seems impossible.
When something is extremely difficult but not strictly impossible, learners might want to use words like 'دشوار' (doshvār) or 'سخت' (sakht), meaning 'difficult' or 'hard'. To emphasize the degree of difficulty, 'خیلی سخت' (kheyli sakht - very difficult) or 'بسیار دشوار' (besyār doshvār - very difficult) are used.
- 'دشوار' (doshvār) / 'سخت' (sakht)
- Meaning: Difficult, hard.
- Example: 'این مسئله خیلی دشوار است.' (in mas'aleh kheyli doshvār ast.) - This problem is very difficult.
- Example: 'یادگیری زبان جدید سخت است.' (yadgiri-ye zabān-e jadid sakht ast.) - Learning a new language is hard.
For situations where something is not practical or feasible, even if technically possible, you might use 'غیر عملی' (gheir-e amali - impractical) or 'ناممکن' (nāmomken). Note that 'ناممکن' is very similar to 'غیر ممکن' and often interchangeable, but sometimes 'غیر ممکن' is preferred for absolute impossibility, while 'ناممکن' might lean slightly towards lack of possibility in a given context.
- 'غیر عملی' (gheir-e amali)
- Meaning: Impractical, unfeasible.
- Example: 'این طرح غیر عملی است.' (in tarh gheir-e amali ast.) - This plan is impractical.
- 'ناممکن' (nāmomken)
- Meaning: Impossible (often interchangeable with 'غیر ممکن').
- Example: 'بدون تلاش، رسیدن به نتیجه ناممکن است.' (bedun-e talāsh, residan be natijeh nāmomken ast.) - Without effort, achieving a result is impossible.
In summary, while 'غیر ممکن' is the standard and most common term for 'impossible', 'محال' offers a more formal or emphatic alternative. For something merely difficult, 'دشوار' or 'سخت' are better choices. 'غیر عملی' addresses impracticality, and 'ناممکن' is a close synonym to 'غیر ممکن'.
Comparison: 'این کار غیر ممکن است.' vs 'این کار محال است.' (Both mean 'This task is impossible', but 'محال' can sound stronger or more absolute).
- Comparison Table
- | Persian Word | English Meaning | Nuance | |---|---|---| | غیر ممکن (gheir-e momken) | Impossible | Standard, widely used. | | محال (mahāl) | Impossible | More formal, literary, emphasizes absurdity or disbelief. | | دشوار (doshvār) / سخت (sakht) | Difficult, Hard | For challenges, not absolute impossibility. | | غیر عملی (gheir-e amali) | Impractical | Lacks feasibility or practicality. | | ناممکن (nāmomken) | Impossible | Very close to 'غیر ممکن', sometimes implies lack of possibility in context. |
How Formal Is It?
재미있는 사실
The concept of impossibility has been explored in philosophy and logic for centuries. In Persian, the direct construction using the Arabic 'gheir' and 'momken' is the most common and accepted way to express this idea, mirroring similar constructions in other languages that use prefixes like 'im-' or 'un-'.
발음 가이드
- Mispronouncing the initial 'gh' sound (غیر) as a simple 'g' or 'r'.
- Incorrect vowel sounds, especially in the 'e' and 'o' sounds.
- Incorrect stress placement, potentially emphasizing the first part ('gheir') instead of 'mom'.

While 'غیر ممکن' means absolutely impossible, 'دشوار' means difficult. A task can be difficult but still possible. For example, 'این امتحان دشوار است' (This exam is difficult), but 'این امتحان غیر ممکن است' would mean it's impossible to even attempt or pass.
'غیر عملی' means impractical or unfeasible. Something might be technically possible but not practical to do. For instance, 'سفر به ماه با پای پیاده غیر ممکن است' (Traveling to the moon on foot is impossible), but 'ساختن یک قایق با برگ غیر عملی است' (Building a boat out of leaves is impractical).
Often a synonym for 'غیر ممکن', but 'محال' can sometimes carry a stronger sense of absurdity or being unthinkable, and is often used in more formal or literary contexts.

Neutral혼동하기 쉬운
Both words mean 'impossible'.
'غیر ممکن' is the standard, everyday term for impossible. 'محال' is often more formal, literary, and can imply something that is not just impossible but also absurd, unthinkable, or defies logic. Think of 'غیر ممکن' as a direct statement of impossibility, while 'محال' might add a layer of disbelief or incredulity.
'این کار غیر ممکن است.' (This task is impossible - a direct statement.)<br>'این ادعا محال به نظر میرسد.' (This claim seems impossible/absurd - implies it's beyond belief.)
Both are direct negations of possibility.
'غیر ممکن' uses the prefix 'غیر' (non-) and 'ناممکن' uses the prefix 'نا-' (un-). They are largely interchangeable in modern Persian. However, 'غیر ممکن' might be slightly more common in everyday speech, while 'ناممکن' can sometimes feel a bit more formal or emphatic.
'این رسیدن ناممکن است.' (This arrival is impossible.)<br>'این رسیدن غیر ممکن است.' (This arrival is impossible.) - Both are correct and mean the same thing.
It's the opposite of impossible.
'شدنی' means 'doable' or 'achievable', directly contrasting with 'impossible'. While 'غیر ممکن' states that something cannot be done, 'شدنی' states that it can. It focuses on the practical aspect of whether an action can be carried out.
'این کار شدنی است.' (This task is doable.)<br>'این کار غیر ممکن است.' (This task is impossible.)
Both describe negative feasibility.
'غیر ممکن' means absolutely impossible – it cannot happen. 'غیر عملی' means impractical or unfeasible – it might be technically possible but not wise, efficient, or realistic to implement. For example, building a castle in the sky is 'غیر ممکن', but using a very expensive and inefficient method to achieve a goal might be 'غیر عملی'.
'پرواز بدون بال غیر ممکن است.' (Flying without wings is impossible.)<br>'استفاده از این روش برای رسیدن به هدف غیر عملی است.' (Using this method to reach the goal is impractical.)
It implies something cannot be reached.
'غیر ممکن' means impossible in a general sense. 'غیر قابل دستیابی' specifically means 'unachievable' or 'unattainable', usually referring to goals, targets, or objectives that cannot be reached. It's a more specific type of impossibility.
'موفقیت بدون تلاش غیر ممکن است.' (Success without effort is impossible.)<br>'آن ستاره برای ما غیر قابل دستیابی است.' (That star is unattainable for us - implying distance or scale.)

'غیر ممکن' signifies absolute impossibility, whereas 'دشوار' means difficult. Confusing them weakens the impact of 'غیر ممکن'. For example, 'این امتحان غیر ممکن است' implies it cannot be taken or passed, while 'این امتحان دشوار است' means it is hard but passable.

Forgetting the linking verb.
→
Add 'است' (ast) or 'بود' (bud).
Sentences like 'این غیر ممکن.' are incomplete. The correct structure requires a linking verb: 'این غیر ممکن <strong>است</strong>.' (This is impossible.) or 'این غیر ممکن <strong>بود</strong>.' (This was impossible.)
-
Incorrect word order.
→
Noun + غیر ممکن + است/بود.
While not strictly wrong in all cases, the most natural and common structure is to place 'غیر ممکن' after the noun it modifies, often with a linking verb. For example, 'کار غیر ممکن' (impossible task) is more standard than 'غیر ممکن کار'.
-
Confusing with 'غیر عملی' (impractical).
→
Use 'غیر ممکن' for things that cannot happen, and 'غیر عملی' for things that are not feasible or wise to do.
'غیر ممکن' is about capability (it cannot be done), while 'غیر عملی' is about practicality (it's not a good idea to do it). For example, flying without wings is 'غیر ممکن', but building a complex machine with basic tools might be 'غیر عملی'.

Mispronouncing the initial 'Gh' sound.
→
Practice the guttural 'غ' sound.
The initial 'غ' in 'غیر' is a distinct sound made in the back of the throat. Mispronouncing it as a simple 'g' or 'r' can affect intelligibility and sound unnatural to native speakers.
팁
Mastering the 'Gh' Sound
The initial 'غ' (gh) in 'غیر' (gheir) is a guttural sound made in the back of the throat, similar to the French 'r'. Practice this sound to distinguish it from a simple 'g' or 'r' sound. Listen to native speakers and try to imitate it.
Distinguish from Difficulty
Remember that 'غیر ممکن' is stronger than just 'difficult'. If something is hard but achievable, use words like 'دشوار' (doshvār) or 'سخت' (sakht). Reserve 'غیر ممکن' for situations that truly cannot happen.
Linking Verbs
In most sentences, 'غیر ممکن' will be followed by a linking verb: 'است' (ast) for the present tense ('It is impossible') and 'بود' (bud) for the past tense ('It was impossible'). Ensure you include these verbs for complete sentences.
Break It Down
Deconstruct the word: 'غیر' (un-/non-) and 'ممکن' (possible). Visualizing a 'no' sign over 'possible' can help you remember that 'غیر ممکن' means 'impossible'.
Synonym Nuances
While 'محال' is a synonym, it often carries a more literary or formal tone and can imply absurdity. Use 'غیر ممکن' for general impossibility and 'محال' when you want to emphasize the unthinkability or formal nature of the impossibility.
Listen and Repeat
Find Persian audio resources (podcasts, movies, songs) and actively listen for 'غیر ممکن'. Try to repeat the sentences you hear to improve your pronunciation and natural usage.
Use It Actively
Don't be afraid to use the word once you understand it. Try to incorporate it into your own sentences, describing things you genuinely find impossible or highly improbable. This active usage solidifies your learning.
Avoid Overuse
Because 'غیر ممکن' is a strong word, overuse can diminish its impact. Consider if 'very difficult' or 'unlikely' might be more accurate in some situations before resorting to 'impossible'.
Cultural Perspective
Understand that in Persian culture, while 'غیر ممکن' denotes impossibility, there's also an underlying belief in perseverance and fate. Sometimes, the word is used with a sense of resignation rather than absolute finality, especially when followed by phrases like 'انشاءالله'.
암기하기
기억법
Think of 'gheir' sounding like 'care'. So, 'Care-e momken? No, it's GHEIR-e momken!' Imagine someone trying to do something truly impossible, and you say, 'I don't care if you try, it's impossible!' The 'care' part helps you remember the first syllable.
시각적 연상
Picture a road sign with a big red circle and a diagonal line through it (the universal 'no' symbol) superimposed on a picture of a task that is clearly impossible, like an elephant trying to fit through a keyhole. Above it, write 'غیر ممکن'.
Word Web
챌린지
Try to describe three things in your life that you once thought were impossible but later achieved. Then, describe one thing that you still consider truly impossible and explain why.
어원
The word 'غیر ممکن' is a compound word formed from two Arabic roots. 'غیر' (gheir) is an Arabic prefix meaning 'non-' or 'un-'. 'ممکن' (momken) is an Arabic adjective meaning 'possible'. The combination directly translates to 'non-possible' or 'impossible'.
원래 의미: 'غیر' (Gheir) means 'other', 'different', or 'non-'. 'ممکن' (Momken) comes from the Arabic root 'k-w-n' (to be) and signifies something that can be, or is possible. Thus, 'غیر ممکن' literally means 'not possible' or 'other than possible'.
Arabic loanword into Persian.문화적 맥락
The word 'غیر ممکن' can be perceived as definitive and final. When used in contexts of personal goals or aspirations, it might be discouraging. It's generally used in situations where the impossibility is objective or widely agreed upon, rather than as a personal judgment on someone's abilities.
In English, 'impossible' is also a strong word, but its usage can sometimes be more hyperbolic than in Persian, where 'غیر ممکن' tends to carry a more definitive, factual weight unless used intentionally for exaggeration.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문'غیر ممکن' (gheir-e momken) is composed of two parts: 'غیر' (gheir), meaning 'non-' or 'un-', and 'ممکن' (momken), meaning 'possible'. Therefore, its literal meaning is 'non-possible' or 'impossible'.
While 'غیر ممکن' can sometimes be used hyperbolically for something extremely difficult, its core meaning is absolute impossibility. For things that are merely difficult, words like 'دشوار' (doshvār) or 'خیلی سخت' (kheyli sakht) are more appropriate. Overusing 'غیر ممکن' for less extreme situations can dilute its impact.
'غیر ممکن' is the standard, direct term for impossible. 'محال' is a synonym that is often more formal, literary, and can imply something that is absurd, unthinkable, or defies logic. Both mean impossible, but 'محال' can carry a stronger sense of disbelief.
Generally, 'غیر ممکن' functions as an adjective. However, in philosophical or abstract discussions, it can be treated as a concept. For example, 'غیر ممکن چیزی نیست که نتوان آن را تغییر داد' (Impossible is not something that cannot be changed), where 'غیر ممکن' is treated as a noun-like concept.
You would use the past tense of the linking verb: 'غیر ممکن بود' (gheir-e momken bud).
The direct opposite is 'ممکن' (momken), meaning 'possible'. Other related antonyms include 'شدنی' (shodani - doable) and 'محتمل' (mohtamel - probable).
They are very similar and often interchangeable. 'ناممکن' uses the prefix 'نا-' (un-/in-), while 'غیر ممکن' uses the prefix 'غیر' (non-/un-). Both mean impossible, with 'غیر ممکن' perhaps being slightly more common in everyday speech.
You typically use it with a linking verb like 'است' (is) or 'بود' (was). For example, 'این کار غیر ممکن است' (This task is impossible). If you want to express the impossibility of an action, you can use 'غیر ممکن است که...' followed by the verb. 'غیر ممکن است که او بیاید.' (It is impossible that he will come.)
'عملاً غیر ممکن' (amalan gheir-e momken) means 'practically impossible'. Use this when something is not theoretically impossible but is so difficult or unlikely in practice that it's considered impossible for all intents and purposes.
Yes, common phrases include 'غیر ممکن است!' (It's impossible!), 'این غیر ممکن است' (This is impossible), and 'غیر ممکن به نظر میرسد' (It seems impossible).

Mastering the 'Gh' Sound
The initial 'غ' (gh) in 'غیر' (gheir) is a guttural sound made in the back of the throat, similar to the French 'r'. Practice this sound to distinguish it from a simple 'g' or 'r' sound. Listen to native speakers and try to imitate it.
Context is Key
While 'غیر ممکن' means impossible, its impact can vary. In casual conversation, it might be used hyperbolically for extreme difficulty. However, in formal settings or factual discussions, it implies absolute impossibility. Always consider the context to understand the speaker's intent.
Distinguish from Difficulty
Remember that 'غیر ممکن' is stronger than just 'difficult'. If something is hard but achievable, use words like 'دشوار' (doshvār) or 'سخت' (sakht). Reserve 'غیر ممکن' for situations that truly cannot happen.
Linking Verbs
In most sentences, 'غیر ممکن' will be followed by a linking verb: 'است' (ast) for the present tense ('It is impossible') and 'بود' (bud) for the past tense ('It was impossible'). Ensure you include these verbs for complete sentences.
