- Of poor or low standard; low-quality.
§ Basic Sentence Structure with 'بی کیفیت'
As an adjective, بی کیفیت usually comes before the noun it describes, or it can follow a verb like 'to be' (بودن - boodan) to describe the subject. Here are some simple ways to use it:
- Before the noun: این لباس بی کیفیت است. (een lebaas bi-keyfiyat ast.) - This is a low-quality dress.
- After the verb 'to be': این محصول بی کیفیت است. (een mahsool bi-keyfiyat ast.) - This product is low-quality.
این کفشها خیلی بی کیفیت هستند. (een kafsh-haa kheyli bi-keyfiyat hastand.)
- English Hint
- These shoes are very low-quality.
§ Using 'بی کیفیت' in more complex sentences
You can use بی کیفیت in various situations to express dissatisfaction with the quality of something. No special prepositions are usually needed for the adjective itself; it directly modifies the noun or follows the linking verb.
از خرید آن محصول بی کیفیت پشیمانم. (az kharid-e aan mahsool-e bi-keyfiyat pashimaan-am.)
- English Hint
- I regret buying that low-quality product.
Notice how 'آن محصول بی کیفیت' (that low-quality product) acts as the object of the verb 'خرید' (buying). The word 'از' (az) here means 'from' or 'about', indicating the reason for the regret.
خدمات این شرکت بسیار بی کیفیت بود. (khedmaat-e een sherkat besyaar bi-keyfiyat bood.)
- English Hint
- The services of this company were very low-quality.
Here, 'بود' (bood) is the past tense of 'to be', indicating that the services *were* low-quality. 'بسیار' (besyaar) means 'very', intensifying the adjective.

Grammar to Know
Adjectives in Persian typically follow the noun they modify. However, when an adjective describes a general characteristic, it can sometimes precede the noun.
جنس بی کیفیت (low-quality material); بی کیفیت بودن (to be low-quality)
The word 'بی' (bi) is a prefix meaning 'without' or 'lack of'. When combined with a noun, it often forms an adjective indicating a lack of that quality.
بی پول (without money, broke); بی ادب (without manners, impolite)
To form a comparative adjective (e.g., 'lower quality'), you can add '-تر' (-tar) to the adjective. For 'بی کیفیت', this would be 'بی کیفیت تر'.
این کالا بی کیفیت تر است. (This product is of lower quality.)
To form a superlative adjective (e.g., 'lowest quality'), you can add '-ترین' (-tarin) to the adjective. For 'بی کیفیت', this would be 'بی کیفیت ترین'.
این بی کیفیت ترین کالای فروشگاه است. (This is the lowest quality product in the store.)
Adjectives can be used with linking verbs like 'بودن' (boodan - to be) to form descriptive sentences.
این محصول بی کیفیت است. (This product is low-quality.)

این محصول خیلی بی کیفیت است.

Often Confused With
Use 'خراب' (kharāb) for broken or damaged items, not 'بی کیفیت'.
Use 'جعلی' (ja'lī) for fake or counterfeit items, not 'بی کیفیت'.
While 'نامرغوب' (nāmarghūb) is similar, 'بی کیفیت' often implies a general lack of standard rather than being distinctly worse than alternatives.
Easily Confused
This word directly translates to 'without quality' but is often confused with words that imply damage or being fake.
'بی کیفیت' specifically refers to the standard or grade of an item being low. It doesn't necessarily mean it's broken or a forgery.
این کالا بی کیفیت است. (This product is low-quality.)
Often mistakenly used interchangeably with 'بی کیفیت'.
'خراب' means broken, damaged, or spoiled. A high-quality item can become 'خراب' if it breaks.
گوشی من خراب شده است. (My phone is broken.)
Sometimes people confuse 'low quality' with 'fake'.
'جعلی' means fake, counterfeit, or forged. A fake item might be low quality, but its primary characteristic is that it's not genuine.
این ساعت جعلی است. (This watch is fake.)
This word is very close in meaning to 'بی کیفیت' and can be a source of confusion regarding subtle differences.
'نامرغوب' also means low quality or inferior. While often interchangeable with 'بی کیفیت', 'نامرغوب' sometimes carries a slightly stronger connotation of being undesirable or substandard. Think of 'بی کیفیت' as lacking quality, and 'نامرغوب' as having undesirable quality.
برنج نامرغوب بود. (The rice was inferior/low-grade.)
Literally means 'low' or 'down', and people might incorrectly use it to describe low quality directly.
'پایین' describes position or level. To talk about low quality, you'd usually combine it with another word, like 'کیفیت پایین' (low quality). 'بی کیفیت' is a single adjective.
کیفیت این محصول پایین است. (The quality of this product is low.)
How to Use It
When something is بی کیفیت (bikifiat), it means it's not made well, or its performance is subpar. You'll often hear this in everyday conversations about products, services, or even abstract things like a performance or a plan. For instance, if you bought a new phone and it broke quickly, you could say it was بی کیفیت. It's a straightforward way to express dissatisfaction with quality.
A common mistake might be to use more formal or less common words when بی کیفیت is perfectly suitable and natural. For example, some learners might try to say 'کم کیفیت' (kam kifiat - low quality) which isn't wrong but less idiomatic. Another mistake could be using it for things that are simply 'bad' in a general sense, rather than specifically 'bad quality'. Remember, it always implies a lack of good craftsmanship, material, or standard. It's not typically used for moral badness or a bad situation. For instance, you wouldn't say 'این یک روز بی کیفیت بود' (This was a low-quality day) but rather 'این یک روز بد بود' (This was a bad day).
