- Used for people, systems, or objects that perform tasks successfully.

- Common in professional and formal contexts.
The Persian word باکفایت (bâ-ke-fâyat) is an adjective used to describe someone or something that possesses the necessary skills, abilities, or qualifications to perform a task or fulfill a role effectively and successfully. It implies a level of proficiency and adequacy, suggesting that the person or thing is well-equipped and capable of handling responsibilities without needing extensive supervision or additional training. Think of it as meaning 'capable,' 'qualified,' 'efficient,' or 'sufficiently skilled.'
This term is often used in more formal or professional contexts, such as in job evaluations, performance reviews, or when discussing the suitability of an individual for a particular position or project. It can also be applied to systems, processes, or tools that are effective and perform as expected. When you hear someone described as باکفایت, it's a positive assessment of their competence and reliability.
For instance, a manager might be praised for being a باکفایت leader if they consistently achieve goals and manage their team effectively. Similarly, a piece of equipment could be called باکفایت if it reliably performs its intended function without breakdowns. The core idea is that the subject meets or exceeds the requirements for success in its designated area.
- Synonym Meaning
- Competent, capable, qualified, proficient, efficient, adequate, skilled.
- Usage Context
- Primarily used in professional settings, evaluations, and discussions about qualifications and performance. Can also describe effective tools or processes.

این دستگاه جدید باکفایت است و نیاز به تعمیرات کمتری دارد.
Using باکفایت (bâ-ke-fâyat) correctly involves understanding its role as an adjective that modifies nouns, typically referring to people, professionals, or sometimes even objects or systems that function effectively. It usually appears after the noun it describes, or it can be used predicatively with a linking verb like 'است' (ast - is).
In Persian sentence structure, adjectives often follow the noun. So, if you're talking about a competent manager, you would say 'مدیر باکفایت' (modir-e bâ-ke-fâyat). When used predicatively, it's common to say '[Noun] باکفایت است' (is competent). For example, 'او یک کارمند باکفایت است' (u yek kârmand-e bâ-ke-fâyat ast - He/She is a competent employee).
Consider the following structures:
- Adjective Preceding Noun (Less Common for this word)
- While less common for 'باکفایت' in everyday speech, it can sometimes be used before a noun in literary or more emphatic contexts, often with the 'ezafe' construction: 'یک باکفایت مدیر' (yek bâ-ke-fâyat modir). However, 'مدیر باکفایت' is the standard and more natural phrasing.
- Adjective Following Noun
- This is the most common and natural placement. Example: 'رئیس جمهور باکفایت' (ra'is jomhur-e bâ-ke-fâyat - competent president).
- Predicative Use (with 'است')
- Used to state that something or someone possesses the quality of competence. Example: 'این برنامه کامپیوتری باکفایت است.' (in barnâmeh-ye kâmpyuteri bâ-ke-fâyat ast - This computer program is competent/efficient).
او یک مهندس باکفایت است و پروژهها را به موقع تحویل میدهد.
آیا این تیم برای انجام این کار باکفایت است؟
You'll most frequently encounter the word باکفایت (bâ-ke-fâyat) in settings that involve assessment, evaluation, and formal communication. Think of professional environments, academic discussions about qualifications, or official reports. It's not a word you'd typically use in casual chat with friends about everyday matters, unless perhaps you were discussing someone's suitability for a task in a slightly more serious tone.
Here are some common scenarios:
- Workplace and Professional Settings
- During job interviews, performance reviews, or when discussing promotions. A supervisor might say, 'ما به دنبال یک مدیر پروژه باکفایت هستیم' (mâ be donbâl-e yek modir-e porojéh bâ-ke-fâyat hastim - We are looking for a competent project manager). It's also used when acknowledging the competence of colleagues or subordinates.
- Official Documents and Reports
- In official evaluations of candidates, proposals, or even the efficacy of a system or policy. For example, a government report might state that a particular initiative is 'باکفایت' if it achieves its goals efficiently.
- Academic and Educational Contexts
- When discussing a student's readiness for advanced studies or a professor's qualifications. A university might assess if a candidate is 'باکفایت' for a research position.
- Discussions about Tools and Technology
- When reviewing the performance of machinery, software, or any tool designed for a specific purpose. 'این نرمافزار حسابداری باکفایت است' (in narm-afzâr-e hesâbdâri bâ-ke-fâyat ast - This accounting software is competent/efficient).
در جلسه هیئت مدیره، او به عنوان یک مدیر باکفایت برای پست جدید انتخاب شد.
گزارش نشان میدهد که تیم تحقیقاتی باکفایت بوده و نتایج خوبی کسب کرده است.
While باکفایت (bâ-ke-fâyat) is a useful word, learners might make a few common mistakes when trying to use it. These often stem from overgeneralization or misunderstanding its specific nuance compared to similar words.
One common mistake is using it in overly casual situations where a simpler word would suffice. For example, saying 'This coffee is باکفایت' is unusual; you'd more likely say 'good' or 'nice.' 'باکفایت' carries a weight of professional or functional competence that doesn't typically apply to simple pleasures.
Another error is confusing it with words that imply mere politeness or superficial good behavior. 'باکفایت' is about actual ability and skill, not just demeanor. You wouldn't call someone 'باکفایت' simply because they are polite; you'd call them 'مودب' (mowaddab - polite).
Misplacing the adjective in a sentence can also be an issue. As mentioned, while not impossible, placing 'باکفایت' before the noun it modifies ('باکفایت مدیر') is less common and can sound awkward compared to the standard 'مدیر باکفایت'.
Finally, learners might use it when they mean 'sufficient' in a quantitative sense, rather than 'skilled.' While competence implies sufficiency, 'باکفایت' emphasizes the *quality* of skill, not just the quantity of resources or effort. For instance, if you have enough money for something, you wouldn't say you are 'باکفایت'; you might say you have 'پول کافی' (pul-e kâfi - enough money).
- Mistake 1: Overuse in Casual Settings
- Using 'باکفایت' to describe everyday objects or simple positive qualities that don't involve a specific skill or professional competence. It's too strong for casual praise.
- Mistake 2: Confusing with Politeness or General Goodness
- Applying 'باکفایت' to someone solely based on their pleasant personality or good manners, when the word specifically refers to functional ability and skill.
- Mistake 3: Incorrect Word Order
- Placing 'باکفایت' before the noun it modifies in a way that sounds unnatural in standard Persian, such as 'باکفایت کارمند' instead of the correct 'کارمند باکفایت'.
- Mistake 4: Misinterpreting as 'Sufficient' Quantity
- Using 'باکفایت' when the intended meaning is simply having enough of something (e.g., enough money, enough time), rather than possessing the skill to use what one has effectively.
غلط: این مرد باکفایت برای مهمانی است.
صحیح: این مرد برای مهمانی مناسب است. (This man is suitable for the party.)
While باکفایت (bâ-ke-fâyat) is a specific term for competence, several other Persian words can be used depending on the nuance you wish to convey. Understanding these alternatives helps in choosing the most appropriate word for a given situation.
One close synonym is ماهر (mâher), which means 'skilled' or 'expert.' While 'باکفایت' implies competence and sufficiency, 'ماهر' emphasizes a high level of skill acquired through practice and expertise. A 'ماهر' person is certainly 'باکفایت,' but a 'باکفایت' person might not necessarily be a top-tier expert; they just have the necessary skills.
توانا (tavânâ) translates to 'capable' or 'able.' This word is more general than 'باکفایت' and focuses on the inherent ability to do something. Someone 'توانا' has the potential, while someone 'باکفایت' has demonstrated the necessary skills to perform successfully.
For situations requiring efficiency and effectiveness, کارآمد (kâr-âmad) is a good alternative. It means 'efficient' or 'effective.' A 'کارآمد' system or person achieves results with minimal waste of time or resources, which is a key aspect of competence.
When you want to say someone is qualified or has the right credentials, صالح (sâleh) or شایسته (shâyesteh) can be used. 'صالح' often implies suitability and righteousness, while 'شایسته' means 'worthy' or 'deserving.' These focus more on appropriateness for a role than on the skill itself.
In more informal contexts, you might hear بلد (balad), which means 'knowing how to do something' or being adept. It's a less formal way to say someone is skilled or competent in a particular area.
- باکفایت (bâ-ke-fâyat)
- Competent, possessing necessary skills and qualifications for successful performance. Implies adequacy and effectiveness.
- ماهر (mâher)
- Skilled, expert. Emphasizes a high level of proficiency acquired through practice. A more intense form of competence.
- توانا (tavânâ)
- Capable, able. Refers to inherent ability or potential to do something. More general than 'باکفایت'.
- کارآمد (kâr-âmad)
- Efficient, effective. Focuses on achieving results with minimal waste. A key component of being 'باکفایت'.
- صالح (sâleh) / شایسته (shâyesteh)
- Suitable, worthy, qualified. Emphasizes appropriateness for a role rather than the skill level itself.
- بلد (balad)
- Knowing how to do something, adept. A more informal term for being skilled.
او یک آشپز ماهر است.
این سیستم کارآمد است و مصرف انرژی را کاهش میدهد.
How Formal Is It?
Curiosidade
The root 'کفایت' (ke-fâyat) itself comes from Arabic, meaning 'sufficiency' or 'to be sufficient'. The Persian usage often adds a layer of professional or functional competence beyond mere numerical sufficiency.
Guia de pronúncia
- Mispronouncing the vowel sounds, especially 'â' and 'ây'.
- Incorrect stress placement, which can alter the word's rhythm.
- Not clearly enunciating the 'k' sound in 'kefâyat'.
- Confusing the 'f' and 'v' sounds if not careful.
Nível de dificuldade
Understanding 'باکفایت' in reading requires recognizing its meaning as competence or capability. It's commonly found in professional or formal texts, so context is key. Learners at B1 level should be able to grasp its meaning when encountered.

Dicas
Stress the Last Syllable
Remember to place the stress on the last syllable: bâ-ke-FAYAT. This rhythm is crucial for natural pronunciation in Persian.
Adjective Placement
In most cases, 'باکفایت' follows the noun it describes, like 'مدیر باکفایت' (competent manager). Avoid placing it before the noun unless in specific literary or emphatic contexts.
Synonym Awareness
While 'باکفایت' is versatile, knowing synonyms like 'ماهر' (skilled) or 'کارآمد' (efficient) allows for more precise expression depending on the nuance you wish to convey.
Connect to 'Key' and 'Fight'

Professional Settings
Actively look for opportunities to use 'باکفایت' when discussing work, projects, or the qualifications of individuals in Persian. This reinforces its primary domain of use.

Sentence Building

Memorize
Mnemônico
Imagine a 'key' (key) that opens a 'fight' (fâyat) because you are 'with' (bâ) it, and you are competent enough to win. So, 'bâ-ke-fâyat' sounds like 'with key fight', and it means you are competent.
Associação visual
Picture a highly skilled craftsman holding a golden key, confidently working on a complex project. The key represents the 'bâ' (with) and the craftsmanship represents 'ke-fâyat' (competence).
Word Web
Desafio
Try to use 'باکفایت' in three sentences describing people or things you know who are very good at what they do.
Origem da palavra
The word 'باکفایت' is formed by combining the Persian prefix 'با-' (bâ-) meaning 'with' or 'possessing', and the noun 'کفایت' (ke-fâyat) which means 'sufficiency', 'competence', or 'adequacy'. Therefore, 'باکفایت' literally means 'with sufficiency' or 'possessing competence'.
Significado original: Possessing sufficiency or adequacy.
Indo-Iranian (Persian)Contexto cultural
The term is generally positive and not sensitive. However, its use in a context where someone is clearly *not* competent could be perceived as critical or even insulting, similar to calling someone incompetent in English.
In English-speaking cultures, similar terms like 'competent', 'capable', 'proficient', or 'qualified' are used. The nuance of 'باکفایت' often carries a slightly more formal and professional weight than casual terms like 'good'.
