설명 خرگوش in your Level:

At the A1 level, the word 'خرگوش' (khargush) is introduced as a basic vocabulary item for animals. Learners should focus on identifying the animal and using it in simple 'Subject-Verb-Object' sentences. At this stage, you only need to know that it means 'rabbit' and how to say 'I like rabbits' (Man khargush dust dāram) or 'The rabbit is white' (Khargush sefid ast). You will mostly see this word in picture books or basic flashcards. The focus is on pronunciation—getting that 'kh' sound right—and recognizing the word in its written form. You don't need to worry about complex idioms or scientific classifications yet. Just think of it as a 'donkey-ear' animal that hops. Practice saying 'Khargush' alongside other animals like 'sag' (dog) and 'gorbe' (cat). Remember that the plural is 'khargush-hā', but if you say 'two rabbits', it's just 'do khargush'. This is a foundational word that helps you practice the Persian 'Ezafe' (the 'e' sound that connects nouns and adjectives), like 'khargush-e nāz' (cute rabbit).

At the A2 level, you begin to use 'خرگوش' in more descriptive contexts. You should be able to talk about what a rabbit does, where it lives, and what it eats. For instance, 'Khargush havij mikhorad' (The rabbit eats carrots) or 'Khargush dar chaman-zār midavad' (The rabbit runs in the meadow). You will learn to use possessives: 'Khargush-e man' (My rabbit). You might also encounter the word in simple stories or folk tales where the rabbit is a character. You should start noticing the use of the object marker 'rā' with this word, such as 'Man khargush rā dar bāgh didam' (I saw the rabbit in the garden). At this level, you can also describe the rabbit's physical features using more adjectives like 'pashmalu' (fluffy) or 'tarsu' (timid). You are moving beyond just identifying the animal to describing its actions and your relationship with it. You might also learn the word for a baby rabbit, 'bach-che khargush'.

By the B1 level, you can use 'خرگوش' in more complex sentence structures and understand its role in common cultural references. You should be able to discuss the pros and cons of having a rabbit as a pet, using transition words like 'ammā' (but) and 'chon' (because). You will likely encounter the word in longer reading passages about nature or environment. You should also be introduced to the most common Persian idiom involving rabbits: 'khāb-e khargushi' (rabbit's sleep). Understanding this idiom marks a transition from literal language to figurative language. You can explain the meaning of this idiom in simple Persian: 'Vaghti kasi motavajjeh-e khatar nist' (When someone is not aware of danger). You should also be comfortable using the word in different tenses, such as 'Dāsh-tam be khargush ghazā midādam' (I was giving food to the rabbit). Your vocabulary around the rabbit expands to include its habitat ('lāneh' - nest/burrow) and its movements ('ghāyem shodan' - to hide).

At the B2 level, you are expected to understand the nuances of the word 'خرگوش' in literature and social commentary. You can read fables from 'Kelileh va Demneh' where the rabbit outsmarts a lion and discuss the moral of the story. You should be able to use the word in hypothetical sentences (subjunctive mood): 'Agar man yak khargush dāshtam, har ruz be u havij midādam' (If I had a rabbit, I would give it carrots every day). You can also distinguish between different types of rabbits and hares using terms like 'khargush-e saharāyi'. In discussions about animal rights or ecology, you can use 'khargush' to talk about the food chain or animal testing. You should be able to use the word fluently in conversation without hesitation, including its informal spoken forms (e.g., 'khargush-o' instead of 'khargush rā'). You understand the cultural significance of the rabbit in the Persian calendar and can explain the 'Year of the Rabbit' to others.

At the C1 level, your use of 'خرگوش' includes abstract and metaphorical applications. You can analyze the symbolism of the rabbit in classical Persian poetry, where it might represent the 'nafs' (ego) or a fleeting thought. You are proficient in using the idiom 'khāb-e khargushi' in political or social critiques to describe collective negligence or a lack of foresight. You can read scientific articles about the 'Leporidae' family in Persian and understand technical terms related to their biology and conservation in the Iranian plateau. Your writing can incorporate the word into complex, stylistically varied sentences. You can participate in debates about the ethics of keeping wild animals vs. domestic ones, using 'khargush' as a primary example.

At the C2 level, you have a masterly command of the word 'خرگوش' and all its linguistic and cultural baggage. You can appreciate and translate intricate wordplay or puns involving 'khargush' in modern Persian satire or classical literature.

You are able to interpret the rabbit's role in Sufi allegories or complex philosophical texts where the animal's traits are used to illustrate deep spiritual truths. You can write academic-level essays on the representation of the rabbit in Iranian folklore compared to Western folklore. Your use of the word is indistinguishable from that of a highly educated native speaker, including the use of rare synonyms or archaic forms if the context demands. You can effortlessly switch between the scientific, poetic, and colloquial registers of the word, understanding exactly when to use 'khargush' versus more specific or metaphorical terms.

خرگوش 30초 만에

Khargush is the Persian word for rabbit, a common small mammal.
The word literally means 'donkey-ear' due to the animal's long ears.
It is used for both domestic rabbits and wild hares in general speech.
Cultural idioms like 'rabbit's sleep' refer to negligence or false security.

The Persian word خرگوش (Khargush) is the standard term for a rabbit. Etymologically, it is a fascinating compound word consisting of khar (meaning donkey or large) and gush (meaning ear). Thus, the literal translation is 'donkey-ear,' a descriptive name highlighting the animal's most prominent physical feature. In Persian culture and language, rabbits are seen as symbols of speed, alertness, and sometimes innocence, but they also carry specific idiomatic weights that differ from English. While in English we might talk about a 'rabbit hole' to describe a complex situation, in Persian, the rabbit is often associated with a specific type of 'sleep' or negligence known as khāb-e khargushi.

Biological Classification: In a scientific or educational context, خرگوش refers to any member of the family Leporidae. When distinguishing between a rabbit and a hare, Persians might use khargush-e saharāyi for a wild hare, but in common parlance, خرگوش covers both.

بچه ها در باغ یک خرگوش سفید کوچک دیدند که لابلای گل ها می دوید.

Translation: The children saw a small white rabbit in the garden running among the flowers.

In everyday conversation, you will use this word when visiting a pet shop, discussing wildlife, or reading children's literature. Persian fables, such as those found in Kelileh va Demneh, often feature the rabbit as a clever protagonist who uses intelligence to overcome larger, stronger predators like lions. This portrays the خرگوش not just as a prey animal, but as a symbol of wit. Furthermore, the word is used in the context of the Chinese Zodiac, which is recognized in Iran; the 'Year of the Rabbit' is translated as sāl-e khargush.

Anatomical Description: A خرگوش is characterized by gush-hā-ye derāz (long ears), dandān-hā-ye tizh (sharp teeth for gnawing), and pā-hā-ye ghavi (strong legs) for jumping.

این خرگوش وحشی خیلی سریع از جاده عبور کرد.

Translation: This wild rabbit crossed the road very quickly.

In the culinary world, unlike some Western cultures, rabbit meat (gusht-e khargush) is not commonly consumed in mainstream Iranian households and is often considered makruh (disliked or discouraged) or even harām (forbidden) depending on specific religious interpretations within Islamic jurisprudence followed in the region. Therefore, you are much more likely to see a خرگوش as a beloved pet or a character in a cartoon than on a dinner menu.

Common Adjectives: Commonly paired with nāz (cute), pashmalu (fluffy), or tarsu (timid/scaredy-cat).

او یک خرگوش پشمالو برای تولد دخترش خرید.

Using خرگوش in sentences requires an understanding of basic Persian noun-adjective agreement and verb conjugation. Since Persian does not have grammatical gender, you don't need to worry about masculine or feminine forms. However, the pluralization is important. While you can use the suffix -hā (خرگوش‌ها), in spoken Persian, people often use the singular form when a number precedes it, or they might use the informal plural -ā.

Subject-Verb Agreement: When the خرگوش is the subject, the verb should match its number. For example: Khargush havij mikhorad (The rabbit eats carrots).

خرگوش‌ها معمولاً در لانه‌های زیرزمینی زندگی می‌کنند.

Translation: Rabbits usually live in underground burrows.

When describing the rabbit, use the Ezafe construction. This involves adding a short 'e' sound to the end of the noun before the adjective. For example, 'a white rabbit' becomes khargush-e sefid. If the rabbit is the direct object of a sentence and is definite (a specific rabbit), you must add the object marker rā. Example: Man khargush rā didam (I saw the rabbit).

Possessive Forms: To say 'the rabbit's ears', you use the Ezafe: gush-hā-ye khargush. To say 'my rabbit', you say khargush-am or khargush-e man.

گوش‌های خرگوش برای شنیدن صداهای خیلی ضعیف طراحی شده‌اند.

Translation: The rabbit's ears are designed for hearing very faint sounds.

Verbs commonly associated with rabbits include davidan (to run), paridan (to jump), javidan (to gnaw/chew), and ghāyem shodan (to hide). When writing about them in a formal essay, you might use more complex structures like parestāri kardan (to take care of) if discussing them as pets. Remember that in Persian, the verb always comes at the end of the sentence.

Prepositional Usage: 'With the rabbit' = bā khargush. 'For the rabbit' = barāye khargush. 'In the rabbit's cage' = dar ghafas-e khargush.

ما برای خرگوش خود یک قفس بزرگ و راحت ساختیم.

You will encounter the word خرگوش in a variety of settings ranging from domestic life to classic Persian literature. One of the most common places is in children's media. Iranian children grow up with stories like 'The Rabbit and the Turtle' (the Persian version of Aesop's fables) or local tales where the rabbit outsmarts the wolf or the lion. In these contexts, the word is often used with diminutive or affectionate suffixes like khargush-e nāz or khargush-e kuchulu.

In Pet Shops and Homes: If you visit a parandeh-forushi (bird shop) or a general pet store in Tehran, you will often see rabbits for sale. You'll hear customers asking: Ghimat-e in khargush chand ast? (How much is this rabbit?).

فروشنده گفت که این خرگوش هلندی بسیار آرام و مهربان است.

Translation: The seller said that this Dutch rabbit is very calm and kind.

In academic or scientific settings, such as a biology classroom or a documentary on Iranian wildlife, the word is used more formally. Iran is home to several wild species, and researchers might discuss the khargush-e vahshi (wild rabbit) and its role in the ecosystem as prey for the Asiatic cheetah or Persian leopard. In these contexts, the language is precise, focusing on habitat and diet.

In Literature and Idioms: Classical poets like Rumi or Saadi sometimes use the rabbit as a metaphor for the soul or for a person who is easily frightened. You might hear elders use the term in a proverbial sense.

در حکایت‌های کهن، خرگوش همیشه با هوش خود بر دشمنان پیروز می‌شود.

Translation: In ancient parables, the rabbit always triumphs over enemies with its intelligence.

Lastly, in modern slang or social commentary, you might hear the phrase khāb-e khargushi on the news or in political discussions. It describes a society or an individual that is unaware of the changes happening around them, like a rabbit that thinks it is safe while the hunter is approaching. This is a very common high-level usage of the word.

In Supermarkets: While not for meat, you might see 'rabbit-themed' products, like chocolates during certain holidays or children's clothing brands using the خرگوش logo.

Learning to use خرگوش correctly involves avoiding a few common pitfalls that English speakers often encounter. The first is the confusion between 'rabbit' and other small mammals. In English, we strictly distinguish between a rabbit and a hare, but in Persian, while khargush-e saharāyi exists, most people just say khargush for both. Don't overcomplicate it unless you are in a biology lab.

Mistake 1: Pluralization with Numbers: A common error is saying 'Se khargush-hā' (Three rabbits). In Persian, after a number, the noun remains singular: سه خرگوش (Se khargush). Adding the plural suffix after a number is grammatically incorrect.

Incorrect: من سه خرگوش‌ها دارم.
Correct: من سه خرگوش دارم.

Another mistake involves the pronunciation of the 'kh' sound (خ). English speakers often pronounce it like a hard 'k' (Kargush), which is incorrect and might make the word unrecognizable. The 'kh' is a voiceless velar fricative, like the 'ch' in the Scottish 'loch' or the Spanish 'j' in 'José'. Practice clearing your throat slightly to get the correct sound.

Mistake 2: The Ezafe Sound: When saying 'the fast rabbit', many learners forget the 'e' link. They say 'khargush tond' instead of خرگوشِ تند (khargush-e tond). This link is vital for the sentence to make sense.

Incorrect: خرگوش سفید زیبا است.
Correct: خرگوشِ سفید زیبا است.

Note: The 'e' sound (Ezafe) connects the noun to its description.

Lastly, learners sometimes confuse خرگوش (khargush) with mush (mouse) because they are both small, furry animals often mentioned in stories. While they sound slightly similar to a beginner's ear, the 'kh' and 'ar' sounds in khargush are distinct markers. Make sure to emphasize the 'gush' (ear) part to remember it refers to the animal with the big ears.

Mistake 3: Using 'Rā' incorrectly: If you say 'I like rabbits' in a general sense, don't use 'rā'. Say Man khargush dust dāram. Only use 'rā' if you like a *specific* rabbit: Man in khargush rā dust dāram.

اشتباه متداول: من خرگوش را دوست دارم (وقتی منظورتان همه خرگوش‌هاست).
درست: من خرگوش دوست دارم.

While خرگوش is the primary word for rabbit, Persian offers several related terms and synonyms depending on the register and specific animal type. Understanding these will help you sound more like a native speaker and clarify your meaning in different contexts.

خرگوش صحرایی (Khargush-e Saharāyi): This literally means 'desert rabbit' but is the standard term for a Hare. Hares are larger, have longer ears, and are generally wilder than the domestic khargush.

خرگوش صحرایی پاهای بسیار بلندی دارد و می‌تواند با سرعت زیادی بدود.

Translation: The hare has very long legs and can run at a great speed.

In some regional dialects or older literature, you might encounter different nuances, but خرگوش remains universally understood. If you are talking about a baby rabbit, you would use the word bach-che khargush. Unlike English, which has the specific word 'bunny' for a cute or young rabbit, Persian relies on adjectives or the prefix 'bach-che' (child/baby).

Comparisons

خرگوش vs. موش: Rabbit vs. Mouse. Both are rodents (or lagomorphs), but 'mush' is much smaller.
خرگوش vs. سنجاب: Rabbit vs. Squirrel. Squirrels (sanjāb) live in trees, while rabbits live in holes (lāneh).

تفاوت اصلی بین خرگوش و سنجاب در محل زندگی و شکل دم آن‌هاست.

When discussing the speed of a rabbit, you might use the word tond-pā (fast-footed), an evocative adjective often found in poetry to describe rabbits or deer. In a scientific context, you might see the term Tehist-pāyān (Lagomorpha), though this is strictly for textbooks. For most learners, mastering خرگوش and its diminutive forms is more than enough to navigate 99% of conversations.

Register Differences: Formal: Khargush. Informal/Child-friendly: Khargush-e kuchulu or Khargush-e nāz. Scientific: Khargush-sānān (Rabbit-like animals).

자주 하는 실수

Kargush → Khargush
Using a 'K' sound instead of the Persian 'Kh' (خ).
Se khargush-hā → Se khargush
Pluralizing the noun after a number.
Khargush havij khord → Khargush havij mikhorad
Confusing past tense with present tense when describing habits.
Khargush-e rā didam → Khargush rā didam
Adding an extra Ezafe sound before the object marker 'rā'.
Gush khargush → Gush-e khargush
Forgetting the Ezafe link between 'ear' and 'rabbit'.

팁

Master the 'Kh'

Don't say 'K'. The 'Kh' (خ) should sound like you're gently clearing your throat. Practice with the word 'Loch'.

Numbers and Plurals

Remember: 'Do khargush' (Two rabbits), not 'Do khargush-hā'. The noun stays singular after a number.

The Sleep Idiom

Use 'khāb-e khargushi' when talking about politics or social issues to sound very advanced.

Baby Rabbits

Use 'bach-che' (child) before the word to say bunny. It's a very common pattern for all animals.

The 'G' and 'K'

Make sure you use 'گ' (G) with two lines at the top, not 'ک' (K) with one line. It's 'Gush', not 'Kush'.

Literal Meaning

Associating it with 'Donkey-Ear' will help you never forget the word's components.

Describing Pets

Persians love the word 'nāz' (cute). Use 'khargush-e nāz' to describe a pet rabbit.

Khar Prefix

Notice 'Khar' in other words like 'Kharchang' (Crab) or 'Khar-khun' (Studious/Nerd). It often means 'very' or 'big'.

Final Sh

The 'sh' at the end is very soft in Persian. Listen carefully to how it trails off.

Rabbit Hole

Don't translate 'rabbit hole' literally. Persians don't use it the same way. Stick to literal contexts or the 'sleep' idiom.

암기하기

기억법

Think of a 'Khar' (Donkey) and its 'Gush' (Ear). A rabbit is just a tiny animal with 'Donkey-Ears'.

시각적 연상

Imagine a rabbit wearing a donkey mask that only covers its ears.

Word Web

حیوان (Animal) گوش (Ear) هویج (Carrot) سریع (Fast) پشمالو (Fluffy) لانه (Burrow) پریدن (Jump) ترسیدن (Fear)

챌린지

Try to say 'Khargush-e gush-derāz' (The long-eared rabbit) five times fast without messing up the 'kh' and 'g' sounds.

어원

The word is a Middle Persian (Pahlavi) heritage word. It has remained remarkably stable over centuries.

원래 의미: A compound of 'Khar' (donkey/large) and 'Gush' (ear). This construction is common in Persian to describe animals based on their features.

Indo-European -> Indo-Iranian -> Iranian -> West Iranian -> Persian.

문화적 맥락

Avoid suggesting rabbit meat in traditional Iranian settings unless you know the host's views, as many consider it religiously discouraged (makruh).

While English speakers associate rabbits with Easter and the Easter Bunny, this association is absent in traditional Persian culture, though Westernized families may recognize it.

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

Yes, 'Khar' means donkey and 'Gush' means ear. This is because rabbits have long ears similar to those of a donkey. It is a very literal descriptive name in Persian.

It is a famous Persian idiom meaning to be in a state of negligence or false security. It suggests that while you think you are safe, you are actually unaware of a danger right in front of you.

Generally, no. In Islamic tradition followed by most Iranians, rabbit meat is considered 'makruh' (disliked) or even forbidden by some scholars, so it is not a part of the local cuisine.

There isn't a single word like 'bunny'. You say 'bach-che khargush' (baby rabbit) or 'khargush-e nāz' (cute rabbit) to convey the same feeling.

The standard plural is 'khargush-hā'. 'Khargush-ān' is very rare and only used in highly poetic or archaic contexts, as '-ān' is usually reserved for human beings.

Persians don't have a specific onomatopoeia for a rabbit's sound like 'meow' for a cat, as rabbits are generally quiet animals. People might describe their movement instead.

Yes, in common speech, 'khargush' is used for both rabbits and hares. If you want to be specific about a wild hare, use 'khargush-e saharāyi'.

In classic fables like Kelileh va Demneh, the rabbit uses its wits to survive against stronger animals, making it a symbol of the underdog's intelligence.

Persian does not have grammatical gender, so 'khargush' is neutral. It applies to both male and female rabbits.

It is spelled 'خ ر گ و ش'. The letters connect as 'خرگوش'.
