When something doesn't make sense, or it's against logic, you can call it غیرمنطقی (gheyr-e-mantiqi).
For example, if someone tries to fly without wings, that's غیرمنطقی. Or, if a child demands to eat only candy for dinner, that's also غیرمنطقی.
It's used when a thought, an action, or a decision goes against what is generally considered reasonable or practical.
When something doesn't make sense, or it's just not reasonable, you can use the word غیرمنطقی (gheyr-e-manteghi).
Think of it like saying "illogical" or "unreasonable" in English. It's often used when someone's idea or action doesn't follow basic logic.
For example, if a plan has too many problems and can't work, it's غیرمنطقی.
It helps you describe situations or thoughts that just don't add up.
When learning Persian, understanding words like غیرمنطقی (gheyr-e-mantaqi) is a good step towards B1 proficiency. At this level, you can start to understand more complex adjectives that describe abstract concepts like 'sensibleness' or 'reason'.
Being able to use and understand words with prefixes like 'غیر-' (gheyr-), which means 'non-' or 'un-', allows you to expand your vocabulary efficiently. This word is useful for expressing opinions and describing situations where something doesn't make sense, which is a common communication need in everyday conversations.
When we call something or someone غیرمنطقی (gheir-mantaqi), we're essentially saying it doesn't make sense or isn't logical. It's often used to describe ideas, decisions, or behaviors that lack a sound basis in reason.
Think of it as the opposite of logical or rational. If a plan has too many holes or doesn't add up, you could call it غیرمنطقی. Similarly, if someone is acting in a way that seems completely unreasonable, their actions might be described as غیرمنطقی.
You'll frequently hear this word in discussions about decision-making, problem-solving, or evaluating arguments. It's a useful term for expressing disagreement with an idea's rationality.

§ What does غیرمنطقی mean?
- Definition
- Not sensible or reasonable; illogical.
§ How to use it in a sentence
Using غیرمنطقی is pretty straightforward. It's an adjective, so it will typically come before the noun it describes, or after a verb like 'to be' (بودن - boodan) or 'to become' (شدن - shodan) when describing the state of something or someone.
§ With nouns
When describing a noun, غیرمنطقی functions just like other adjectives in Persian. It will usually precede the noun, or come after it with an 'ezāfe' (ـِ - e) if you want to be more specific. However, in everyday speech, placing it directly before the noun is common.
این تصمیم غیرمنطقی است.
In tasmīm gheir-manteqi ast. (This decision is illogical.)
حرفهای او خیلی غیرمنطقی بود.
Harfhā-ye oo kheyli gheir-manteqi bood. (His words were very unreasonable.)
§ With verbs (to be/become)
You'll often see غیرمنطقی used with the verb 'to be' (بودن - boodan) or 'to become' (شدن - shodan) to describe a situation or a person's behavior.
چرا اینقدر غیرمنطقی شدی؟
Cherā inghadar gheir-manteqi shodi? (Why did you become so illogical/unreasonable?)
رفتار او کاملاً غیرمنطقی به نظر میرسید.
Raftār-e oo kāmelan gheir-manteqi be nazar mīrasīd. (His behavior seemed completely illogical.)

§ Don't confuse it with "بیمَنطِق" (bi-manteq)
While both gheyr-manteqi and bi-manteq mean "illogical" or "unreasonable," they aren't always interchangeable. Gheyr-manteqi generally describes a thought, idea, or action that lacks logic, while bi-manteq can sometimes imply a more inherent lack of logic in a person or system, or a complete absence of logic.
§ Using it for people vs. actions
It's common to use gheyr-manteqi to describe an action, decision, or statement. While you *can* technically call a person gheyr-manteqi, it's often more polite and natural to describe their actions as such. If you want to say a person is generally unreasonable, other words might be more suitable or you might specify 'their arguments are unreasonable'.
حرفهای او غیرمنطقی بود. (Harf-hâ-ye u gheyr-manteqi bud.)
- Hint
- His words were illogical.
این تصمیم خیلی غیرمنطقی است. (In tasmim kheyli gheyr-manteqi ast.)
- Hint
- This decision is very illogical.
§ Overuse or misapplication
Sometimes learners might use gheyr-manteqi for something that is simply 'wrong' or 'incorrect' rather than truly 'illogical'. Remember, it specifically refers to a lack of logical reasoning, not just a mistake or an unfavorable outcome.
Incorrect usage example:
جواب من به سوال غیرمنطقی بود. (Javâb-e man be so'âl gheyr-manteqi bud.)
- Hint
- My answer to the question was illogical. (If the answer was just wrong, not lacking logic.)
Better way to say it if the answer was just wrong:
جواب من به سوال اشتباه بود. (Javâb-e man be so'âl eshtebâh bud.)
- Hint
- My answer to the question was wrong.
§ Word order with "خیلی" (kheyli - very)
When using kheyli (very) with gheyr-manteqi, it typically comes before the adjective. This is a common pattern in Persian for adverbs modifying adjectives.
حرف او خیلی غیرمنطقی بود. (Harf-e u kheyli gheyr-manteqi bud.)
- Hint
- His statement was very illogical.
How Formal Is It?
"تصمیم او کاملاً غیرمنطقی به نظر می رسید."
"این حرفت خیلی غیرمنطقیه."
"چرا اینقدر بیمنطقی؟"
"این فکرت چرنده."

Grammar to Know
Adjectives often come after the noun they modify, unlike in English. So, for 'an illogical idea,' you would say 'ایده غیرمنطقی' (idea illogical) instead of 'غیرمنطقی ایده'.
تصمیم غیرمنطقی (Illogical decision)
The prefix 'غیر-' (ghayr-) means 'non-' or 'un-'. It is used to negate adjectives or nouns, forming an opposite meaning. For instance, 'منطقی' (mantéghi) means 'logical', and adding 'غیر-' makes it 'غیرمنطقی' (illogical).
غیرقانونی (Illegal), غیرممکن (Impossible)
When an adjective like 'غیرمنطقی' describes a plural noun, the adjective itself does not change its form. The plural marker is only on the noun.
افکار غیرمنطقی (Illogical thoughts), کارهای غیرمنطقی (Illogical actions)
To make 'غیرمنطقی' more emphatic, you can use adverbs like 'کاملاً' (kamelan, completely) or 'واقعاً' (vaqean, really) before it.
این کاملاً غیرمنطقی است. (This is completely illogical.)
In spoken Persian, sometimes people might use a more direct negation of 'منطقی' by saying 'منطقی نیست' (mantéghi nist, it's not logical) instead of 'غیرمنطقی' in certain contexts, though 'غیرمنطقی' is also very common and proper.
این حرف منطقی نیست. (This statement is not logical.)

neutralEasily Confused
Often confused with 'غیرمنطقی' because both imply a lack of logic. However, 'بیمنطق' is typically used for a person or an argument that completely lacks any basis in reason, often implying a more inherent or fundamental absence of logic.
'غیرمنطقی' (gheir-manteghi) describes something that goes against logic or is unreasonable in a specific instance. 'بیمنطق' (bi-mantegh) describes a state of being without logic or reason, often used for a person or an idea that is inherently illogical.
حرفهای او بیمنطق بود. (Harf-haye oo bi-mantegh bood.) - His words were illogical/lacked any logic. (Implying a general lack of logical thinking.)
Both 'غیرمنطقی' and 'ناعاقلانه' describe something that is not sensible. The confusion arises because a lack of reason can often lead to unwise actions.
'غیرمنطقی' (gheir-manteghi) specifically refers to something that is contrary to logic or reason. 'ناعاقلانه' (naa-aaqelaneh) means unwise, imprudent, or foolish, focusing more on the lack of good judgment rather than a strict logical fallacy.
این تصمیم ناعاقلانه بود. (In tasmim naa-aaqelaneh bood.) - This decision was unwise. (It wasn't a good idea, perhaps not strictly illogical but definitely not smart.)
Sometimes confused because something 'غیرمنطقی' might also seem absurd or empty. 'پوچ' often describes something meaningless, which can be linked to a lack of logical sense.
'غیرمنطقی' (gheir-manteghi) means illogical or unreasonable. 'پوچ' (pooch) means absurd, empty, vain, or meaningless. While an illogical statement might seem meaningless, 'پوچ' carries a stronger connotation of futility or lack of substance.
زندگی بدون هدف پوچ است. (Zendegi bedoon hadaf pooch ast.) - Life without purpose is meaningless/absurd.
This phrase directly translates to 'contrary to reason,' making it very close in meaning to 'غیرمنطقی'. The confusion is in when to use the more formal phrase versus the single word.
'غیرمنطقی' (gheir-manteghi) is a single, common adjective. 'مغایر با عقل' (moghaayer baa aql) is a more formal and slightly more emphatic phrase meaning 'contrary to reason' or 'incompatible with intellect'. It emphasizes a stronger opposition to rational thought.
این حرف مغایر با عقل است. (In harf moghaayer baa aql ast.) - This statement is contrary to reason. (A stronger, more formal way to say it's illogical.)
If something is 'غیرمنطقی', it can sometimes be perceived as 'احمقانه'. Both describe a lack of intelligence or sound judgment.
'غیرمنطقی' (gheir-manteghi) specifically refers to a lack of logic or reason. 'احمقانه' (ahmaghaneh) means foolish or stupid, implying a lack of intelligence or common sense, which is a broader concept than just being illogical.
این کار احمقانه بود. (In kaar ahmaghaneh bood.) - This action was foolish/stupid. (It wasn't intelligent, rather than just defying logic.)

How to Use It
When something doesn't make sense or isn't based on reason, you can use غیرمنطقی. It's often used to describe ideas, decisions, or actions. For example, if someone makes a decision that seems crazy to you, you could say their decision was غیرمنطقی.
A common mistake is confusing غیرمنطقی with 'wrong' or 'incorrect'. While something غیرمنطقی can also be wrong, the core meaning is about lacking reason or logic, not necessarily being factually incorrect. Another mistake is trying to use it for physical objects that are 'not logical' in design; it's almost always applied to abstract concepts or human actions/thoughts. You wouldn't say a badly designed chair is غیرمنطقی, but rather an غیرمنطقی design.
Tips
Memorize the negative prefix
The prefix غیر- (ghayr-) means 'non-' or 'un-'. It's super useful for creating antonyms in Persian. For example, غیرمنطقی (ghayr-manteghi) means 'unreasonable' from منطقی (manteghi, reasonable).
Break down the word
غیرمنطقی is made of two parts: غیر (ghayr, non/un) and منطقی (manteghi, logical/reasonable). Understanding the parts helps you remember the whole meaning: non-logical.
Connect to English 'logic'
Notice how منطقی (manteghi) sounds like 'logic'. This connection can help you recall its meaning and, by extension, غیرمنطقی as its opposite, 'illogical'.
Practice with antonyms
When you learn a word like غیرمنطقی, try to recall its antonym, منطقی (manteghi, logical/reasonable). This strengthens your vocabulary network.
Use it in a simple sentence
Try saying something simple like: این ایده غیرمنطقی است. (In ide ghayr-manteghi ast.) - This idea is unreasonable.
Listen for it in conversations
Pay attention to how native speakers use غیرمنطقی in everyday speech. When you hear it, try to understand the context it's used in.
Write it down several times
The act of writing غیرمنطقی (ghayr-manteghi) repeatedly can help solidify it in your memory, especially the spelling.
Create a flashcard
On one side, put غیرمنطقی. On the other, put 'unreasonable / illogical'. Add a simple example sentence to reinforce its usage.
Think of scenarios
Imagine a scenario where someone might act in a غیرمنطقی way. For example, 'It's غیرمنطقی to go outside without a coat in winter.'
Review regularly
Like all new vocabulary, revisit غیرمنطقی periodically to ensure it stays fresh in your mind. Spaced repetition is key.
Memorize It
Mnemonic
Imagine a 'non-logic' bomb, ready to detonate with 'gheyr-manteghi' (illogical) reasoning. The sound 'gheyr' (غير) can remind you of 'care' and 'manteghi' (منطقی) of 'logic.' So, 'no care for logic' helps you recall the meaning.
Visual Association
Picture a seesaw with two sides: one side heavy with common sense and the other side floating high, labeled 'غیرمنطقی' (illogical). On the illogical side, there are chickens wearing hats and a cat playing a violin, highlighting the absurdity. The word 'غیرمنطقی' itself could be written in a wobbly, unstable font, further emphasizing the idea of unreasonableness.

You pronounce it as gheyr-e-mantaqi. Break it down: 'gheyr' (like 'care' but with a 'gh' sound from the back of your throat), then 'e' (like 'eh'), then 'man-ta-qi' (like 'man' then 'ta' as in 'tall' then 'qi' like 'key' but again with the 'q' sound from the back).
Sure. 'این حرف شما کاملاً غیرمنطقی است.' (This statement of yours is completely illogical.) Another one: 'تصمیم او خیلی غیرمنطقی بود.' (His decision was very unreasonable.)
Yes, it's quite common. You'll hear and read it in conversations, news, and discussions when people are talking about things that don't make sense or aren't based on reason.
The opposite is 'منطقی' (mantaqi), which means 'logical' or 'reasonable'. So, 'منطقی' is 'logical', and 'غیرمنطقی' is 'illogical'.
Yes, generally it does. When you call something 'غیرمنطقی', you're usually implying that it's a flaw or a mistake because it lacks reason or good sense.
You can describe a person's actions, statements, or decisions as 'غیرمنطقی'. For example, 'رفتار او غیرمنطقی بود.' (His behavior was unreasonable.) However, directly calling a person 'غیرمنطقی' might sound a bit harsh, though grammatically it's possible. It's usually better to describe their attributes or actions.
'غیر' (gheyr) is a prefix in Persian that means 'non-', 'un-', or 'not'. It's used to negate the word it's attached to. So, 'غیرمنطقی' literally means 'non-logical'.
Some similar ideas could be 'بیمنطق' (bi-mantaq) which also means 'illogical' or 'without logic'. You might also hear 'عجیب' (ajīb) for 'strange' or 'odd', but that's a broader term than 'غیرمنطقی'.
Think of the English word 'logic' which is very similar to 'منطق' (mantaq) in Persian. Then remember that 'غیر' means 'not'. So, 'غیرمنطقی' is 'not logical'. This connection can help you recall its meaning easily.
