مردود شمردن
مردود شمردن em 30 segundos
- A formal verb meaning 'to deem rejected'.
- Common in legal, academic, and news contexts.
- Combines 'mardud' (rejected) and 'shomordan' (to count).
- Used for claims, theories, and official requests.
The Persian compound verb مردود شمردن (mardud shomordan) is a sophisticated, formal expression used to describe the act of officially rejecting, invalidating, or deeming something as unacceptable. It combines the Arabic-derived adjective mardud (meaning rejected, returned, or failed) with the Persian verb shomordan (meaning to count or to consider). When you use this term, you aren't just saying 'no'; you are making a categorical judgment that something lacks the necessary merit, validity, or legal standing to be accepted.
- Formal Context
- This verb is most frequently encountered in legal proceedings, academic evaluations, and high-level political discourse. For instance, a judge might 'mardud shomordan' an appeal, or a university board might 'mardud shomordan' a research proposal that fails to meet ethical standards.
شورای نگهبان صلاحیت چندین نامزد را مردود شمرد.
(The Guardian Council deemed the qualifications of several candidates rejected.)
In everyday Persian, people might use simpler verbs like رد کردن (rad kardan), but مردود شمردن carries a specific weight of authority. It implies that a process of evaluation has taken place. It is not an emotional rejection but a systemic one. If a student's answer in an exam is 'mardud shomorde shod' (was considered rejected), it implies it was marked wrong based on a set of criteria.
- Etymological Nuance
- The word 'Mardud' comes from the root R-D-D in Arabic, which relates to returning or pushing back. 'Shomordan' is pure Persian. This 'hybrid' construction is common in high-register Persian (Farsi-ye Ketabi), providing a bridge between bureaucratic precision and classical linguistic roots.
دادگاه تجدیدنظر، اعتراض وکیل را مردود شمرد.
(The appeals court considered the lawyer's objection invalid.)
Furthermore, the usage extends to scientific and philosophical domains. When a hypothesis is proven wrong by data, scientists will 'mardud shomordan' that hypothesis. It marks the end of a particular line of inquiry because the evidence does not support it. This makes it a vital word for anyone reading Persian newspapers or academic journals.
- Register and Tone
- Using this word in a casual setting like a grocery store would be highly unusual and sound overly dramatic or robotic. It is strictly a 'Level 3' word—formal, written, or professional spoken Persian.
منتقدان، این نظریه را به دلیل نبود شواهد کافی مردود میشمارند.
(Critics consider this theory rejected due to a lack of sufficient evidence.)
Mastering مردود شمردن requires understanding its transitive nature. In Persian grammar, this verb takes a direct object followed by the post-position ra (را). The structure is: [Object] + را + [Reason/Adverbial Phrase, optional] + مردود شمردن.
کمیته انضباطی، رفتار بازیکن را مردود شمرد.
(The disciplinary committee deemed the player's behavior unacceptable.)
When using this verb in the present tense, it follows the standard pattern: mi-shomaram, mi-shomari, mi-shomarad. However, it is most common in the past tense (shomord) or the present perfect (shomorde ast) because it usually refers to a decision that has already been finalized by an authority.
- Passive Voice usage
- In bureaucratic reports, you will often see the passive form: 'mardud shomorde shod' (was considered rejected). This removes the need to specify who did the rejecting, focusing instead on the status of the item. Example: 'این پیشنهاد مردود شمرده شد' (This proposal was deemed rejected).
Another important aspect is the 'reasoning' phrase. Often, writers include be dalil-e (because of) or be-onvan-e (as). For example, 'The claim was deemed rejected as fraudulent.' In Persian: 'ادعا به عنوان تقلب مردود شمرده شد.'
بسیاری از دانشمندان این فرضیه قدیمی را مردود میشمارند.
(Many scientists consider this old hypothesis rejected/invalid.)
In political journalism, you will see this verb used with international treaties or diplomatic offers. If a country 'mardud mishomarad' an offer, it is a sign of a significant diplomatic impasse. It indicates a total lack of agreement.
وزارت امور خارجه، بیانیه اخیر را کاملاً مردود شمرد.
(The Ministry of Foreign Affairs completely rejected/deemed invalid the recent statement.)
- Negation
- To negate, add 'na' to the beginning of the auxiliary: 'mardud nashomord'. However, it is more common to use an antonym like 'ta'id kardan' (to confirm) than to say someone 'did not consider it rejected'.
If you are watching the evening news on IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting) or reading a major newspaper like Ettela'at or Shargh, you will hear مردود شمردن constantly. It is the language of the state, the court, and the university.
سخنگوی دولت، شایعات مربوط به افزایش قیمت بنزین را مردود شمرد.
(The government spokesperson rejected the rumors regarding the gasoline price hike.)
In a legal setting, you will hear a judge or a clerk reading a verdict. If an appeal is 'mardud shomorde shod', the legal journey for that specific claim has ended. It is a word that carries the finality of the law. Lawyers use it in their petitions to argue why the opposing side's evidence should be 'mardud shomorde' by the court.
- Academic Environment
- In Iranian universities, if a student fails a comprehensive exam or a thesis defense, the committee might use this term in the official transcript. It sounds much more formal and 'final' than simply saying 'oftadan' (to fall/fail).
Social media also sees a 'pseudo-formal' use of this word. Activists or public figures might use it to sound more authoritative when they are dismissing an opponent's argument. By using مردود شمردن instead of just 'I don't agree', they frame the opponent's view as logically or factually invalid.
جامعه علمی، نتایج این آزمایش را به دلیل خطاهای روششناختی مردود میشمارد.
(The scientific community deems the results of this experiment rejected due to methodological errors.)
Finally, in the context of history and literature, historians might 'mardud shomordan' a certain narrative of the past if new documents are discovered. It is the verb of intellectual revision and correction.
The most common mistake learners make with مردود شمردن is using it in too casual a context. If you tell your friend 'I reject your invitation to dinner' using this verb, you will sound like a 19th-century judge or a robot. For friends, use rad kardan.
- Confusing with 'Rad Kardan'
- While they both mean 'to reject', 'Rad kardan' is versatile. 'Mardud shomordan' is specific to 'deeming something invalid' after consideration. You can 'rad kardan' a phone call, but you cannot 'mardud shomordan' a phone call.
اشتباه: من پیشنهاد چای تو را مردود میشمارم.
(Mistake: I deem your tea offer rejected—sounds very odd!)
Another mistake involves the preposition. Learners sometimes try to use az (from) or be (to) incorrectly. Remember: [Object] + را + مردود شمردن. There is no need for extra prepositions before the verb unless you are stating a reason (e.g., be dalil-e).
A third mistake is forgetting the 'shomordan' part and just using 'mardud' as a verb. 'Mardud' is an adjective. You must use a light verb like 'shomordan', 'danestan', or 'kardan' (in passive 'shodan') to make it function as an action.
- Subject-Verb Agreement
- In formal writing, the subject is often a collective noun (the council, the court). Ensure the verb 'shomordan' is conjugated in the third person singular if the collective noun is treated as a single entity, or plural if referring to the members.
Persian is rich with synonyms for rejection, each with its own nuance. Understanding where مردود شمردن fits in the spectrum is key to achieving B2/C1 fluency.
- رد کردن (Rad Kardan)
- The most common alternative. It means 'to reject' or 'to pass/refuse'. It is used for everything from refusing a gift to failing an exam. It lacks the 'judgment' nuance of 'shomordan'.
- باطل دانستن (Bātel Dānestan)
- Means 'to consider void/invalid'. Very similar to 'mardud shomordan', but 'batel' specifically implies that something is now zero-valued or has no legal effect (like a voided check or an annulled marriage).
- تکذیب کردن (Takzib Kardan)
- Means 'to deny' or 'to debunk'. This is used specifically for news, rumors, or statements. If you say a rumor is 'mardud', you are saying it's invalid. If you 'takzib' it, you are saying it is a lie.
او تمام اتهامات را تکذیب کرد اما دادگاه آنها را مردود نشمرد.
(He denied all charges, but the court did not deem them rejected.)
For more academic contexts, you might use nafy kardan (to negate) or salb kardan (to strip/negate). These are even more abstract and usually deal with philosophical properties or rights.
