انصراف دادن in 30 Seconds
- Formal verb for withdrawing or opting out.
- Used in academic, political, and legal contexts.
- Requires the preposition 'az' (from).
- Distinguished from 'laghv kardan' (to cancel).
The Persian verb انصراف دادن (Enserâf Dâdan) is a sophisticated compound verb used to describe the act of withdrawing, opting out, or cancelling a commitment that was previously made. At its core, it signifies a change of heart or a formal decision to cease participation in a specific process. Unlike simple cancellation of an object, this verb often applies to human actions, applications, and official statuses. When you hear this word, think of a student dropping a university course, a candidate pulling out of an election, or a person deciding not to go through with a purchase after initial interest.
- Formal Context
- In administrative settings, it refers to the official procedure of withdrawing an application or a request. For example, 'انصراف از تحصیل' means dropping out of school or university.
او به دلیل مشکلات شخصی از شرکت در مسابقات انصراف داد.
- Political Context
- When a candidate decides to no longer run for office, they use this verb to announce their exit from the race.
The usage of this word implies that there was a prior intention or action. You cannot 'enseraf dadan' from something you never started or intended to do. It is specifically about the reversal of a previous trajectory. Whether it is a legal contract, a digital subscription, or a marathon, the act involves a conscious decision to stop and step back. It is more formal than 'vel kardan' (to let go) and more specific than 'laghv kardan' (to cancel), as 'laghv kardan' usually refers to the cancellation of an event by an organizer, whereas 'enseraf dadan' is the participant's choice to leave.

- Digital Usage
- On websites and apps, you might see this word on a button that allows you to cancel a transaction or opt-out of a service.
Culturally, 'enseraf dadan' can sometimes carry a weight of regret or a strategic shift. In Persian literature and daily speech, it indicates a pivot. It is not just about stopping; it is about the transition of the will. Understanding this word is crucial for navigating any formal system in Iran, from banking to education.
To use انصراف دادن correctly, you must master the preposition از (az). In Persian, you always 'withdraw FROM' something. The structure is: [Subject] + [Preposition 'az'] + [The Activity/Noun] + [Enseraf Dadan]. Because it is a compound verb, the 'Enseraf' part remains static while the 'Dadan' part conjugates according to the tense, person, and number.
من از خرید این خانه انصراف دادم.
In the present tense, it becomes 'انصراف میدهم' (enseraf midaham). For example, if you are currently in the process of deciding to quit a race, you might say: 'دارم از مسابقه انصراف میدهم'. The negative form is 'انصراف ندادن'. It is important to note that 'Enseraf' is a noun that means 'withdrawal', so literally you are 'giving a withdrawal'.
- Past Tense Conjugation
- من انصراف دادم، تو انصراف دادی، او انصراف داد، ما انصراف دادیم، شما انصراف دادید، آنها انصراف دادند.
ما از ادامه همکاری با این شرکت انصراف میدهیم.
When using it in a question, the tone remains formal. 'آیا شما قصد انصراف دارید؟' (Do you intend to withdraw?). In spoken Persian, 'dadan' might be shortened, but in written Persian, especially at the B2 level, it is essential to maintain the full form. It is also used in the causative or passive-like structures, though 'enseraf dadan' itself is active.
In academic writing, you might see the noun form used with 'kardan' in rare cases, but 'dadan' is the standard light verb. If you want to say 'to make someone withdraw', you would use 'منصرف کردن' (monsaref kardan). This is a vital distinction. 'Enseraf dadan' is what you do yourself; 'Monsaref kardan' is what you do to someone else (to dissuade them).
You will encounter انصراف دادن in several specific environments. First and foremost is the educational system. In Iran, the 'Konkur' (university entrance exam) is a massive event. Every year, news reports discuss the number of students who 'انصراف دادند' from their allocated seats to try again next year. If you are a student in Iran, you will see this word on the 'Golestan' system (the common university portal) when you want to drop a semester.

Second, in the realm of politics and elections. During the presidential or parliamentary elections, candidates often form alliances. One candidate might 'enseraf dahad' in favor of another to consolidate votes. This is a major headline in Iranian newspapers like 'Etela'at' or 'Shargh'. You will hear news anchors say: 'نامزد انتخاباتی به نفع رقیب خود انصراف داد' (The candidate withdrew in favor of his rival).
- News Media
- Used constantly in sports news when a team or athlete pulls out of an international tournament for political or physical reasons.
Third, in legal and commercial transactions. If you sign a contract for a pre-sale apartment and then decide the price is too high or your situation changes, you 'enseraf midahid'. Banks also use this term for customers who want to cancel a loan application. If you are using a Persian banking app, look for the 'Enseraf' button to go back or cancel a pending transfer.
Finally, in sports. If an athlete is injured during a match and cannot continue, the referee or commentator will announce their withdrawal. It is a formal way to say they are no longer competing. It carries more dignity than saying they 'quit'. It implies a formal exit from a regulated process.
One of the most frequent errors learners make is confusing انصراف دادن with لغو کردن (Laghv Kardan). While both involve stopping something, 'Laghv Kardan' is 'to cancel' an event or a rule from the perspective of the organizer. For example, a flight is 'laghv' (cancelled) by the airline, but a passenger 'enseraf midahad' (withdraws) from taking the flight. You cannot 'enseraf' a meeting; you 'laghv' a meeting. But you can 'enseraf' from attending that meeting.
- Mistake: Wrong Light Verb
- Using 'Enseraf kardan' instead of 'Enseraf dadan'. While 'kardan' is the most common light verb in Persian, this specific noun pairs strictly with 'dadan'.
غلط: او از سفر
انصراف کرد.
درست: او از سفر انصراف داد.
Another mistake is the confusion between انصراف دادن and منصرف شدن (Monsaref Shodan). 'Enseraf dadan' is the formal act of withdrawing. 'Monsaref shodan' is more common in daily speech and means 'to change one's mind' or 'to decide against something'. If you decided not to buy a coffee, you would say 'Monsaref shodam'. If you officially withdrew from a million-dollar contract, you would say 'Enseraf dadam'.
Lastly, learners often forget the preposition 'Az'. Persian is a language of prepositions, and 'Enseraf' is useless without 'Az'. If you say 'Man mosaabeghe enseraf dadam', it sounds like you are giving a withdrawal to the competition, which is nonsensical. You must say 'from the competition'. Also, avoid using it for physical objects. You don't 'enseraf' a sandwich; you simply don't eat it or you cancel the order (laghv kardan).
To enrich your Persian vocabulary, it is helpful to look at synonyms and near-synonyms of انصراف دادن. Depending on the level of formality and the specific context, you might choose a different word.
- دست کشیدن (Dast Keshidan)
- Literally 'to pull the hand'. It means to give up on something or to stop doing it. It is more idiomatic and slightly less formal than 'enseraf dadan'. Used for habits or long-term projects.
- کنارهگیری کردن (Kenâre-giri Kardan)
- Meaning 'to step aside'. This is very common in politics and professional roles. If a CEO leaves their post, they 'kenare-giri' from their position.
او از مقام خود کنارهگیری کرد تا فرصت را به جوانان بدهد.
In a very informal setting, you might hear بیخیال شدن (Bikhiyâl Shodan). This means 'to stop caring' or 'to let it go'. It is the slang equivalent of changing your mind or withdrawing interest. However, never use this in a letter to a university! Use 'enseraf dadan' for official business.
- استعفا دادن (Este'fâ Dâdan)
- Specifically means 'to resign' from a job. While 'enseraf' is general withdrawal, 'este'fa' is the technical term for leaving employment.
Lastly, رها کردن (Rahâ Kardan) means 'to abandon' or 'to release'. This is used when someone leaves something unfinished in a more emotional or abrupt way. 'Enseraf dadan' is usually a bureaucratic or calculated move, whereas 'raha kardan' can be impulsive.
How Formal Is It?
"جناب عالی، بدینوسیله انصراف خود را از شرکت در مناقصه اعلام میدارم."
"او از کلاس نقاشی انصراف داد چون وقت نداشت."
"بیخیال بابا، انصراف بده بریم سینما!"
"اگر خسته شدی، میتوانی از بازی انصراف بدهی."
"طرف وسط راه انصراف داد و جازد."
Fun Fact
The root 'S-R-F' is the same root for 'Sarafi' (Currency Exchange), because money is 'turned' or 'exchanged' there. Thus, 'Enseraf' is literally 'turning yourself away' from a deal.
Pronunciation Guide
- Pronouncing 'enseraf' as 'insiraf'.
- Shortening the long 'a' sounds in 'dadan'.
- Putting stress on the 'mi-' prefix in the present tense incorrectly.

The word 'انصراف' (Inṣirāf) is an Arabic verbal noun derived from the root 'ṣ-r-f' (صرف), which means to turn, to divert, or to spend. It entered Persian through Islamic and administrative influence.
Original meaning: Turning away or departing from a place or a topic.
