Explicação غیر متاهل in your Level:

At the A1 level, you usually learn the word 'mojarrad' for 'single'. However, it's good to know that 'ghayr-e mo'tahel' exists. Think of it as 'not married'. 'Ghayr' means 'not' or 'non', and 'mo'tahel' means 'married'. You might see this on a simple ID form. At this stage, just recognize that if you see 'ghayr' before a word, it usually makes it the opposite. Don't worry about using it in speech yet; just focus on recognizing it in writing. It is the formal way to say you don't have a husband or wife.

غیر متاهل em 30 segundos

Formal Persian word for 'unmarried'.
Used in legal documents and official forms.
A compound of 'ghayr' (non) and 'mo'tahel' (married).
More clinical and less social than the word 'mojarrad'.

The term غیر متاهل (pronounced ghayr-e mo'tahel) is a formal Persian adjective used to describe an individual's marital status. In the landscape of Persian linguistics, this word functions as a precise administrative marker. While the everyday word for 'single' is mojarrad, غیر متاهل is what you will encounter in legal documents, census forms, and formal psychological or sociological reports. It literally translates to 'non-married.' The prefix غیر (ghayr) acts as a negator, similar to 'un-' or 'non-' in English, and متاهل (mo'tahel) means married. Understanding this word is crucial for navigating any official environment in an Iranian context, as it strips away the social connotations of 'singleness' and focuses strictly on the legal absence of a marriage contract.

Grammatical Composition: It is a compound adjective formed by the Arabic-origin negator 'ghayr' and the past participle 'mo'tahel'. In Persian, it is linked via the Ezafe construction (the short 'e' sound) when modifying a noun.
Register and Tone: Highly formal. Using this in a casual conversation with friends would sound overly robotic or clinical. It is the language of bureaucracy and high-level journalism.

در پرسشنامه استخدامی، او خود را به عنوان یک فرد غیر متاهل معرفی کرد.

Translation: In the employment questionnaire, he introduced himself as an unmarried individual.

Sociologically, the use of this term reflects a binary view of status in official records. It is important to note that 'ghayr-e mo'tahel' encompasses anyone who is not currently in a legal marriage, including those who are divorced or widowed, although more specific terms exist for those categories. However, in a broad sense, it simply indicates the lack of a current spouse. In modern Persian media, you might see headlines discussing the 'rising age of the unmarried population' (افزایش سن جمعیت غیر متاهل), where the term provides a more clinical and objective tone than 'mojarrad'.

آمار نشان می‌دهد که تعداد مردان غیر متاهل در این شهر رو به افزایش است.

Cultural Nuance: In Iranian culture, marriage is often seen as a milestone of adulthood. The term 'ghayr-e mo'tahel' in a legal sense is neutral, but it carries the weight of a status that is often expected to change.

Using غیر متاهل correctly requires an understanding of Persian adjective placement and the Ezafe construction. Unlike English, where 'unmarried' comes before the noun, in Persian, the adjective follows the noun it describes, linked by the 'e' sound. For example, 'unmarried man' becomes mard-e ghayr-e mo'tahel. This section will explore the various syntactic environments where this word thrives.

As an Attributive Adjective: When it follows a noun directly: 'کارمندان غیر متاهل' (unmarried employees). Note that the 'e' sound is added to 'karmandan'.
As a Predicative Adjective: When it follows a linking verb like 'to be': 'او غیر متاهل است' (He/She is unmarried). In this case, no Ezafe is needed after the subject.

بسیاری از مسافران این تور، جوانان غیر متاهل بودند.

Translation: Many of the travelers on this tour were unmarried youths.

It is also common to see this word in negative constructions or comparisons. Because it is a compound word starting with 'ghayr', it provides a clear binary. If a document asks you to specify whether you are 'mo'tahel' or 'ghayr-e mo'tahel', it is looking for a definitive legal status. In academic writing, you might find it used to define a demographic variable in a study.

طبق قانون، افراد غیر متاهل واجد شرایط دریافت این وام نیستند.

Translation: According to the law, unmarried individuals are not eligible to receive this loan.

Furthermore, the word can be pluralized when referring to a group as a noun phrase: ghayr-e mo'tahelin (the unmarried ones), though this is extremely rare and archaic. Stick to using it as an adjective modifying a plural noun for modern usage.

You will rarely hear غیر متاهل in a bustling Tehran bazaar or at a family dinner. Instead, this word lives in the halls of government, the pages of law books, and the formal broadcasts of the evening news. If you are watching a documentary about social trends in Iran, the narrator will likely use this term to maintain an objective, sociological distance. It is a word of 'record' rather than a word of 'relation'.

News and Media: Broadcasters use it when discussing statistics: 'The percentage of unmarried women in rural areas has changed.'
Legal and Administrative Settings: Lawyers and government officials use it to define the rights or status of a person in a case.

در اخبار شنیدم که برای جوانان غیر متاهل تسهیلات جدیدی در نظر گرفته شده است.

Translation: I heard on the news that new facilities/benefits have been considered for unmarried youth.

When you apply for a visa at an Iranian consulate or fill out a form for a bank account in Iran, the 'Marital Status' section might list 'متاهل' and 'غیر متاهل'. In these contexts, the word is used to avoid the more colloquial 'mojarrad', which can sometimes imply a lifestyle choice or a social state, whereas 'ghayr-e mo'tahel' is a cold, hard fact of documentation.

مدیر منابع انسانی پرسید: آیا شما در حال حاضر غیر متاهل هستید؟

Translation: The HR manager asked: Are you currently unmarried?

Another place you might encounter it is in religious or philosophical lectures where the speaker is discussing the 'status of the unmarried' in a theoretical or jurisprudential context. It provides a level of formality that respects the seriousness of the topic.

For English speakers, the most common mistake is using غیر متاهل in the wrong social context. Imagine going to a party and telling someone, 'I am an unmarried person' using this term. It would sound as if you are reading from your own birth certificate. This section highlights these nuances to help you avoid sounding like a robot.

Register Mismatch: Mistake: Saying 'man ghayr-e mo'tahel hastam' to a friend. Correction: Use 'man mojarrad hastam'.
Ezafe Omission: Mistake: 'zan ghayr-e mo'tahel'. Correction: 'zan-e ghayr-e mo'tahel'. The connecting vowel is essential.

اشتباه: من یک فرد غیر متاهل هستم (در گفتگو با دوستان).

Correct: من مجردم.

Another mistake is confusing ghayr-e mo'tahel with bi-hamsar (without a spouse). While they mean the same thing logically, bi-hamsar is often used for those who have lost a spouse (widowed), whereas ghayr-e mo'tahel is a broader, more sterile administrative term. Using 'ghayr-e mo'tahel' to describe a widow in a sympathetic conversation would be insensitive.

اشتباه: او نامتاهل است.

Correct: او غیر متاهل است.

Lastly, learners sometimes forget that mo'tahel itself comes from 'ahl' (family/folk). Trying to use 'ghayr-e mo'tahel' to mean 'anti-family' is incorrect; it only refers to the legal status of marriage.

Persian has several ways to say someone is not married, each with its own flavor. Choosing the right one depends on whether you are at a wedding, a courtroom, or a coffee shop. Here is how غیر متاهل compares to its cousins.

مجرد (Mojarrad): The most common word for 'single'. It is neutral-to-informal. Use this in 90% of daily interactions.
بی‌همسر (Bi-hamsar): Literally 'without a spouse'. Often used in contexts of social welfare or when referring to those who are widowed or divorced.
عزب (Azab): An older, slightly more traditional or religious term for a single person, often implying they are of marriageable age but haven't wed yet.

تفاوت: مجرد برای زندگی روزمره است، اما غیر متاهل برای اسناد رسمی.

When comparing غیر متاهل with مجرد, think of the difference between 'unmarried' and 'single' in English. 'Unmarried' sounds like a checkbox on a tax form, while 'single' sounds like a personal status. Interestingly, mojarrad in philosophical Persian can also mean 'abstract' or 'incorporeal', but you won't need that for basic conversation!

او ترجیح می‌دهد مجرد بماند تا اینکه با فرد اشتباهی ازدواج کند.

Translation: He prefers to stay single rather than marry the wrong person.

In summary, use ghayr-e mo'tahel when you want to sound professional, objective, or when you are dealing with official Iranian bureaucracy. Use mojarrad for everyone else.

How Formal Is It?

Curiosidade

The word 'ahl' is also the root of 'ahlan wa sahlan' in Arabic, meaning welcome. So, 'mo'tahel' literally means someone who has 'welcomed' a family into their life.

Form Filling

When you see 'وضعیت تاهل' on a form, if you aren't married, you can write 'غیر متاهل' or 'مجرد'.

Family Roots

Origem da palavra

Derived from the Arabic prefix 'ghayr' (non/other) and the Arabic root 'A-H-L' (family).

In English, we say 'unmarried' or 'single'. 'Unmarried' feels more formal, just like 'ghayr-e mo'tahel'.

Used in the Iranian Census (Sarsomari). Commonly seen in 'Employment Advertisements' (Agahi-ye Estekhdam). Legal codes regarding inheritance.

It's not recommended. It sounds very stiff and robotic. Use 'mojarrad' instead. 'Ghayr-e mo'tahel' is like saying 'I am a non-married entity' in English.

No, it is gender-neutral. It can be used for both men and women. You just add the noun before it, like 'zan-e ghayr-e mo'tahel' or 'mard-e ghayr-e mo'tahel'.

On its own, 'ghayr' can mean 'other' or 'besides'. But as a prefix, it works like 'non-', 'un-', or 'in-' in English to negate the following word.

In Persian script, it is 'غیر متاهل'. Sometimes it is written with a small space (zwnj) between them, but usually they are two separate words.

Usually, passports use 'mojarrad' or 'mo'tahel'. However, in more detailed legal reports or census data, 'ghayr-e mo'tahel' is used as a category name.

Yes, it is very polite and professional. It is never offensive, but it is very formal.

Legally, yes. A divorced person is 'ghayr-e mo'tahel' because they are not currently married. However, 'motallaghe' is more specific.

Yes, it comes from the Arabic word 'ahl', which means family or people. 'Mo'tahel' literally means 'having a family'.

It is a short, quick 'e' sound, like the 'e' in 'bed'. It links 'ghayr' to 'mo'tahel' or the noun to 'ghayr'.

In Persian, 'na-' is a common prefix for negation, but for Arabic-rooted words like 'mo'tahel', 'ghayr' is the standard formal negator. 'Na-mo'tahel' would sound incorrect to a native speaker.
