سُر خوردن

When something سُر می‌خورد (sor mikhord), it means it slips or slides without you meaning it to. Imagine you are walking on ice, and your foot slides a little bit – that's سُر خوردن. Or maybe you're carrying a wet dish, and it slides in your hand. It's usually a small, quick movement. This verb is helpful to describe those unexpected little slips in everyday life.

This word is good to know when talking about minor accidents or things moving unexpectedly.

When we talk about something 'slipping' or 'sliding unintentionally,' especially for a short distance, the Persian verb to use is سُر خوردن (sor khordan). This verb is commonly used to describe accidental movements on a slippery surface, like ice or a wet floor. It implies a loss of control, causing something or someone to move suddenly and often without warning.

For example, if you're walking on ice and your foot slips, that's سُر خوردن. It can also be used for objects, like a book slipping off a table. The 'khordan' part of the verb often indicates an involuntary or accidental action.
