Explicação منع in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should know that 'man'' (منع) means 'No' or 'Don't' in a formal way. Think of it like a red light. While you won't use this word often in your own simple sentences, you will see it on signs. If you see 'منع' on a door or a wall, it means you should not do whatever is pictured or written there. For example, 'منع ورود' (Man-e Vorud) means 'No Entry.' It is a very important word for your safety when traveling in Persian-speaking countries. You can remember it by thinking of the English word 'manual'—but instead of a manual telling you HOW to do something, 'man'' tells you NOT to do it. At this level, just recognize the shape of the word and know it means 'Forbidden.'

At the A2 level, you can start using 'man'' in simple compound verbs. The most important one is 'man' kardan' (to forbid). You can use this to talk about basic rules. For example, 'Madar bacheh ra man' kard' (The mother forbade the child). You should also learn the difference between 'man'' and 'mamnu''. 'Mamnu'' is the adjective you see on signs (like 'Sigar keshidan mamnu'' - Smoking is forbidden). At A2, you are beginning to understand that Persian uses nouns like 'man'' combined with 'kardan' to make actions. This is a key step in moving beyond simple one-word verbs. Try to spot this word in news headlines or school rules.

At the B1 level, you should be comfortable using the 'az' (from) preposition with 'man''. This is the grammar bridge: 'Someone ra AZ something man' kardan.' For example, 'Pezeshk mara az khordan-e shirini man' kard' (The doctor forbade me from eating sweets). You also learn that 'man'' is used in formal announcements, such as 'man'-e amad o shod' (curfew). At this stage, you should be able to explain rules and regulations using this word. You might encounter it in newspaper articles about social issues or health advice. It's a 'power word' that makes your Persian sound more structured and adult.

At the B2 level, you will encounter 'man'' in complex legal and political contexts. You will see it used to discuss human rights (e.g., 'man'-e shekanjeh' - prohibition of torture) or international relations. You should also be able to distinguish 'man'' from its synonyms like 'tahrim' (sanctions) and 'ghadaghan' (bans). B2 learners should understand the nuance that 'man'' implies an authoritative or logical reason for the prohibition. You might use it in an essay to argue against a certain policy, saying 'In ghanoon bayad man' shavad' (This law must be forbidden/stopped). Your vocabulary is now sophisticated enough to handle the glottal stop 'ayn' correctly in formal speech.

At the C1 level, you explore the literary and philosophical uses of 'man''. You will find this word in classical Persian poetry (like Rumi or Hafiz) where it might represent the obstacles between the lover and the divine. You also use it in high-level academic writing to discuss 'prohibitive factors' in economy or sociology. You should be familiar with the Arabic roots and related words like 'maman'at' (prevention) and 'mani'' (impenetrable). At this level, you don't just know the word; you know its weight in the history of Persian law and ethics. You can use it to discuss abstract concepts like 'man'-e fekri' (intellectual restriction).

At the C2 level, 'man'' is a tool for precise legal and theological discourse. You understand its role in 'Fiqh' (Islamic jurisprudence) as part of the 'Ahkam-e khamseh' (the five rulings). You can use it in professional legal drafting or high-level political analysis. You are aware of its most obscure collocations and can use it with perfect rhetorical flair. You might use it to describe a 'man'-e zati' (inherent prohibition) in a philosophical debate. At this level, your command of the word is indistinguishable from a highly educated native speaker, utilizing it to define the very boundaries of thought and action in the Persian language.

منع em 30 segundos

منع means prohibition or the act of forbidding something formally.
It is commonly used as a verb in the form 'منع کردن' (to forbid).
You will see it on signs for 'no entry' or 'no smoking' in formal settings.
It is a key word in legal, medical, and governmental Persian contexts.

The Persian word منع (pronounced 'man-') is a foundational noun derived from Arabic that translates primarily to 'prohibition,' 'prevention,' or 'the act of forbidding.' At its core, it signifies the placement of a boundary or a barrier—whether legal, social, or physical—to stop an action from occurring. For English speakers, it is helpful to think of it as the formal equivalent of 'banning' or 'stopping someone from doing something.' While in English we might use the word 'ban' for a government action and 'forbid' for a parent's command, in Persian, man' serves as a versatile umbrella term covering both formal and informal contexts. It is most frequently encountered in the compound verb منع کردن (man' kardan), which means 'to forbid' or 'to prevent.'

Legal and Official Context: In the realm of law, this word is used to describe statutory prohibitions. For example, a 'man'-e ghanuni' is a legal prohibition. You will see it in news reports concerning trade bans, travel restrictions, or the censorship of certain media. It carries a weight of authority that implies a consequence for violation.

دولت ورود کالاهای خارجی را منع کرده است. (The government has forbidden the entry of foreign goods.)

Social and Moral Context: Socially, the word is often linked to religious and ethical guidelines. In Islamic terminology used in Persian-speaking countries, the phrase 'Amr be ma'ruf va nahy az monkar' involves the concept of forbidding (nahy) what is wrong, which is a close synonym to 'man'. In a household, a father might 'man' his child from staying out late, suggesting a protective or disciplinary boundary.

Furthermore, the word appears in the context of health and safety. If a doctor tells a patient to stop smoking, the patient might say they are under a 'man'-e pezeshki' (medical prohibition). This versatility makes it one of the most useful words for expressing the concept of 'no' in a formal or structural sense. It is not just a refusal; it is a structural denial of permission. Understanding this word helps learners navigate Persian bureaucracy and social etiquette, as it defines the limits of what is permissible (mojaz) versus what is forbidden (mamnu').

پزشک او را از خوردن نمک منع کرد. (The doctor forbade him from eating salt.)

Linguistic Nuance: It is important to distinguish 'man'' from 'mane''. While they share the same root, 'man'' is the act of forbidding, whereas 'mane'' is a physical or metaphorical obstacle. If you are 'man'' from a building, there is a rule; if there is a 'mane'' in front of the building, there is a physical wall or fence.

هیچ قانونی نمی‌تواند ما را از فکر کردن منع کند. (No law can prevent us from thinking.)

Using منع correctly requires understanding its grammatical placement as a noun that usually functions within a compound verb. The most common construction is [Subject] + [Object] + را + از + [Action/Noun] + منع کردن. This translates to '[Subject] forbade [Object] from [Action].' Note the use of the preposition 'az' (from), which is essential in this structure. This mirrors the English 'to prevent someone FROM something.'

Active Voice Construction: When you want to say someone is actively prohibiting something, use 'man' kardan'. Example: 'Modir daneshamuzan ra az pushidan-e lebas-e gheyr-e rasmi man' kard' (The principal forbade students from wearing informal clothes).

قانون جدید صید ماهی را در این فصل منع می‌کند. (The new law forbids fishing in this season.)

Passive and Descriptive Use: To describe a state of being forbidden, the adjective form 'mamnu'' is more common, but you can use 'man' shodan' (to be forbidden/prevented). Example: 'Vurud be in mantagheh man' shodeh ast' (Entry to this area has been forbidden).

In academic or highly formal Persian, man' can be used as a standalone noun in the subject or object position of a sentence. For instance, 'Man'-e estefadeh az plastik' (The prohibition of using plastic). Here, it acts as a gerund-like noun. This is common in titles of laws, medical reports, or technical manuals. It is also found in the phrase 'man'-e amad o shod' which means 'curfew' (literally: prohibition of coming and going).

به دلیل طوفان، منع تردد اعلام شد. (Due to the storm, a traffic ban/curfew was announced.)

Compound Nouns: You will often find 'man'' attached to other words via the Ezafe construction. 'Man'-e vorud' (Entry ban), 'Man'-e khurak' (Dietary restriction), or 'Man'-e tablighat' (Advertising ban).

والدین باید فرزندان را از تماشای فیلم‌های خشن منع کنند. (Parents should forbid children from watching violent movies.)

While منع might seem like a word reserved for textbooks, it is ubiquitous in daily life in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. You will encounter it most frequently in official announcements and news broadcasts. When the Iranian government or local authorities issue new regulations, the word 'man'' is the star of the headline. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the phrase 'man'-e taraddod' (travel/movement ban) was heard daily on every news channel and radio station.

Public Signage and Notices: In public parks, museums, or government buildings, you will see signs that don't just say 'No Smoking' but might use formal language like 'Man'-e dakhaniyat' (Prohibition of tobacco). While 'Mamnu'' is more common on a simple 'No Entry' sign, 'Man'' is used in the text of the rules posted on the wall.

در این موزه، منع عکاسی وجود دارد. (In this museum, there is a ban on photography.)

Medical Consultations: When visiting a doctor (pezeshk), if they want to tell you to avoid certain foods or activities due to a condition, they will use 'man' kardan'. They might say, 'Man shoma ra az varzesh-e sangin man' mikonam' (I forbid/prevent you from heavy exercise). It sounds professional and serious.

In the digital world, you might see 'man'' in the terms of service for Persian apps or websites. 'Man'-e kopy-bardari' (Prohibition of copying) is a common way to state copyright protections. In schools, teachers use it to establish classroom rules, such as 'man'-e estefadeh az mobile' (prohibition of using mobiles). It is a word that defines the structure of social order.

اخبار از منع صدور ویزا خبر داد. (The news reported on the ban of visa issuance.)

Literature and Poetry: Even in classical poetry, 'man'' is used to describe the beloved forbidding the lover from approaching, or the 'zahed' (ascetic) forbidding people from worldly pleasures. It adds a layer of dramatic tension to the narrative.

استفاده از این دارو برای کودکان منع قانونی دارد. (The use of this medicine for children has a legal prohibition.)

Learning منع involves navigating a few linguistic traps that even intermediate learners fall into. The most frequent mistake is confusing man' (prohibition) with its sibling mane' (obstacle). While they come from the same root, they are used differently. If you say 'Man man' daram,' you are saying 'I have a prohibition,' which sounds odd. You likely meant 'Man mane' daram,' meaning 'I have an obstacle/hindrance.'

Preposition Errors: English speakers often try to use 'be' (to) or 'ra' (direct object marker) incorrectly with the target of the prohibition. Remember: you forbid someone (ra) FROM (az) an action. You cannot 'man'' an action directly without the 'az' if you are also mentioning the person being forbidden. Incorrect: 'Man u ra in kar man' kardam.' Correct: 'Man u ra AZ in kar man' kardam.'

اشتباه: دولت مردم را سفر منع کرد. (Wrong: Government people travel forbade.)

Confusing Noun and Adjective: Many students use 'man'' when they should use 'mamnu''. 'Man'' is the noun (the act of forbidding), while 'mamnu'' is the adjective (forbidden). If a sign says 'Smoking is forbidden,' it should be 'Sigar keshidan mamnu' ast,' not 'Sigar keshidan man' ast.'

Another mistake is overusing 'man'' in informal contexts. If you are telling a friend not to do something, 'man' kardan' sounds too stiff and legalistic. In a casual setting, you would simply use the imperative 'nakon' (don't do) or 'naza' (don't let). Using 'man'' with your friends might make you sound like a police officer or a strict professor.

درست: پلیس رانندگی در مستی را منع کرده است. (Correct: The police have forbidden drunk driving.)

Spelling and Pronunciation: In writing, ensure you don't forget the 'ayn' (ع) at the end. In speaking, neglecting the glottal stop might make it sound like 'man' (meaning 'I' or 'me'). Pronouncing the 'ayn' is crucial to avoid confusion, especially in sentences where the subject is 'I'.

اشتباه: من از رفتن من شدم. (Wrong: I became 'me' from going.) -> Correct: 'man' shodan'.

Persian is rich with synonyms for 'prohibition,' each carrying a unique shade of meaning. Choosing the right one depends on whether you are talking about a law, a social taboo, or a physical blockade. منع is the most general and formal term, but here are the others you should know:

قدغن (Ghadaghan): This is a very common word, often used for specific 'bans' or 'orders.' It feels slightly more forceful and is common in everyday speech. While 'man'' is 'prohibition,' 'ghadaghan' is often 'the ban' itself. For example, 'Vurud ghadaghan ast' (Entry is forbidden).

سیگار کشیدن در اینجا قدغن است. (Smoking is forbidden here.)

تحریم (Tahrim): This word specifically refers to 'sanctions' or 'boycotts.' While 'man'' is a general forbidding, 'tahrim' is usually used in political and international contexts, like 'Tahrim-ha-ye eghtesadi' (Economic sanctions).

Then there is نهی (Nahy), which is primarily a religious or literary term. It is the opposite of 'Amr' (command). You see this in religious texts or formal ethical discussions. For example, 'Nahy az monkar' means 'forbidding evil.' It is rarely used in daily conversation unless discussing theology or philosophy.

استاد شاگرد را از تنبلی نهی کرد. (The teacher forbade the student from laziness - very formal.)

ممانعت (Maman'at): This word emphasizes the act of 'hindering' or 'preventing someone from doing something.' It is very close to 'man'' but focuses more on the interference. 'Maman'at kardan' is often used when someone physically or legally tries to stop a process.

او از ممانعت پلیس ناراحت بود. (He was upset by the police's prevention/interference.)

How Formal Is It?

Curiosidade

The word 'Mane'' (obstacle) comes from the same root. While 'Man'' is the act of forbidding, 'Mane'' is the thing that stands in your way. They are like two sides of the same coin: the rule and the barrier.

The glottal stop is essential in writing and speaking to distinguish it from the pronoun 'I'.

Dicas

The 'Az' Rule

Always use 'az' when specifying what is being forbidden. For example: 'Man' az vorud' (Prohibition from entry). This makes your sentences grammatically complete.

Avoid the 'Me' Confusion

Be careful not to say 'Man' (I) when you mean 'Man'' (Prohibition). The glottal stop is key. If you say 'Man raftam' it means 'I went', but 'Man' raftam' (if it made sense) would involve a prohibition.

Use 'Mamnu'' for Signs

If you are making a sign, use 'Mamnu''. It is the standard adjective for 'Forbidden'. Use 'Man'' when you are writing a report or telling a story about the rule being made.

Formal Situations

Use 'Man' kardan' in emails, letters, or formal discussions. It shows you have a high level of Persian and understand the correct register for rules.

The 'Man-Ban' Link

Since 'Man'' and 'Ban' rhyme and mean the same thing, use this to quickly recall the word when you are stuck.

Polite Refusals

If you are at a party and can't eat something, you can say 'Doctor mara man' kardeh' (The doctor has forbidden me). It's a polite way to refuse food without offending the host.

Ezafe Usage

When 'Man'' is followed by another noun, use the Ezafe (short 'e' sound). 'Man-e vorud', 'Man-e khuruj'. This connects the prohibition to the object.

News Keywords

When listening to the news, 'Man'' is a keyword for new laws. If you hear it, pay attention—it usually means something is changing in the rules.

Religious Synonyms

Understand that 'Nahy' is the religious version of 'Man''. If you read a religious book, you will see 'Nahy' everywhere.

Bela-man' for Permission

Instead of just saying 'Yes' or 'Mojaz' (permitted), use 'Bela-man' ast' in a workplace to sound very professional.

Memorize

Mnemônico

Think of a 'MAN' standing with his arms crossed saying 'NO'. The word 'MAN' is in 'MAN-E'. He is forbidding you from passing.

Associação visual

Imagine a red 'Stop' sign with the Persian letters 'منع' written in the center. The 'ayn' (ع) at the end looks like a hook that catches you and stops you from moving forward.

Desafio

Try to find three things in your house that are 'man'' (forbidden) for a pet or a child, and say them out loud using the phrase 'Man'e [thing]'.

Origem da palavra

The word 'منع' originates from the Arabic root 'M-N-A' (م ن ع). In Arabic, this root encompasses the meanings of preventing, hindering, or withholding. It was adopted into Persian along with thousands of other Arabic terms following the Islamic conquest of Persia, becoming the standard term for formal prohibition.

Significado original: To prevent or to stop someone from reaching or doing something.

Semitic (root), Indo-European (Persian usage).

Contexto cultural

When using 'man'' in a social setting, be careful not to sound too bossy, as it is a very strong, authoritative word.

English speakers often use 'ban' for big things and 'forbid' for personal things. Persian uses 'man'' for both, as long as it's formal.

The phrase 'منع تعقیب' (Man-e Taghib) is a staple of Iranian legal dramas. The 'Man-e amad o shod' (Curfew) during the 1979 Revolution and the 2020 pandemic. Classical poems by Saadi often discuss the 'man'' of the rival.

Perguntas frequentes

10 perguntas

'Man'' is a noun meaning 'prohibition' or 'the act of forbidding.' 'Mamnu'' is an adjective meaning 'forbidden.' You use 'Man'' in a verb like 'Man' kardan' (to forbid), and 'Mamnu'' to describe a state, like 'Sigar mamnu' ast' (Smoking is forbidden).

It sounds very formal. To a friend, it is better to use 'Nakon' (Don't do it) or 'Bas kon' (Stop it). 'Man' kardan' sounds like you are a judge or a doctor giving a formal order.

It is a glottal stop. Imagine you are about to say another vowel but you suddenly cut the air off in your throat. It's like the pause in 'button' (in some English dialects) or 'uh-oh'.

Usually, the word 'Tahrim' is used for international sanctions. However, you might hear 'Man'-e tejarat' (Trade ban) which is a similar concept.

'Bela' means 'without' in Arabic-derived Persian. So 'Bela-man'' means 'without prohibition' or 'permitted.' It is very common in office paperwork.

Yes, especially in the news, at the doctor's office, or when discussing rules. You will see it on signs everywhere in Iran.

No, in Persian, it must be paired with an auxiliary verb like 'kardan' (to do) or 'shodan' (to become) to function as a verb.

The preposition 'az' (from) is used. You forbid someone 'az' (from) an action.

The plural is 'Man'-ha', but it is rarely used. Usually, the singular 'Man'' covers the concept of prohibitions in general.

While it's a general word, it is related to the concept of 'Haram' (forbidden). In religious texts, 'Nahy' is more common, but 'Man'' is understood as the act of making something Haram.
