The Persian word "ناپسند" (nā-pasand) is an adjective that describes something as not pleasing, disagreeable, or undesirable. It's a common word used to express disapproval or a lack of liking for something.
- Breakdown
- The word is formed by combining the prefix "نا-" (nā-), which means "not" or "un-", with the word "پسند" (pasand), meaning "liking", "approval", or "pleasing". So, literally, it means "not liked" or "not pleasing".
You'll hear "ناپسند" used in various situations, from everyday conversations about personal preferences to more formal contexts discussing social norms or ethical judgments. For instance, if someone does something that is considered rude or inappropriate, you might describe their action as "ناپسند". Similarly, if a certain outcome or situation is not favorable, it can be labeled as "ناپسند".
این رفتار او ناپسند بود.
It's a versatile adjective that can be applied to actions, behaviors, opinions, situations, or even objects that evoke a negative feeling or are considered unacceptable. The degree of undesirability can range from mild dislike to strong disapproval, depending on the context and the speaker's tone.
- Usage Examples
- * Describing an action: "کارهایی که باعث آزار دیگران میشود، ناپسند است." (Actions that cause harm to others are undesirable.)
- * Describing a situation: "نتیجه انتخابات برای او ناپسند بود." (The election result was displeasing to him.)
- * Describing an opinion: "این ایده ناپسند است و نباید اجرا شود." (This idea is disagreeable and should not be implemented.)
Using "ناپسند" (nā-pasand) in sentences is quite straightforward, as it functions as an adjective modifying a noun. The key is to understand what kind of noun it's describing. It generally refers to something that evokes a negative reaction, whether it's dislike, disapproval, or deeming it unacceptable.
این رفتار ناپسند است.
- Basic Sentence Structure
- The most common structure is: [Subject] + [Noun] + "ناپسند" + است (ast - is).
- Alternatively: [Noun] + "ناپسند" + است.
You can also use it to describe a situation or an outcome. For example, if you are discussing a decision that was made, you could say it was "ناپسند".
اظهارات او کاملاً ناپسند بود.
- Adding Nuance
- To add more emphasis, you can use adverbs like "خیلی" (kheyli - very) or "کاملاً" (kāmelan - completely): "این کار خیلی ناپسند است." (This action is very undesirable.)
- You can also use it in phrases like "غیر ناپسند" (gheyr-e nā-pasand), meaning "not undesirable" or "acceptable", though "پسندیده" is more common for "acceptable".
When describing a person's character or actions, "ناپسند" implies a moral or social judgment. It's not just about personal preference but about something being objectively wrong or inappropriate according to certain standards.
اینگونه سخنان ناپسند است.
The word "ناپسند" (nā-pasand) is a fairly common adjective in Persian and you'll encounter it in a variety of everyday and more formal settings. Its usage reflects a judgment of something being undesirable, disagreeable, or not pleasing.
- Everyday Conversations
- In casual conversations, people might use "ناپسند" to express their dislike for a certain action, a situation, or even a taste. For example, if someone is complaining about a bad smell, they might say, "این بو خیلی ناپسند است." (This smell is very unpleasant.) Or, if a friend describes a rude comment made by someone, you might respond, "این حرف ناپسند بود." (That remark was inappropriate.)
Beyond personal preferences, "ناپسند" often carries a social or moral implication, indicating that something is not in line with accepted norms or ethical standards.
رفتار او در جمع ناپسند بود.
- Formal Settings and Media
- You will frequently hear or read "ناپسند" in news reports, opinion pieces, and formal speeches, especially when discussing social issues, political events, or ethical dilemmas. For instance, a news anchor might report on a "واکنش ناپسند" (nā-pasand vākonesh - undesirable reaction) from the public to a certain policy.
- In literature and film, it can be used to describe characters' actions or societal conditions that are viewed negatively.
When discussing rules or regulations, "ناپسند" can be used to describe actions that violate them, implying they are not permissible or acceptable.
این دخالت ناپسند است.
- Cultural and Social Commentary
- The word is often employed in discussions about cultural practices or social behaviors that are considered outdated, harmful, or simply not in vogue. A commentator might criticize a "سنت ناپسند" (sonnat-e nā-pasand - undesirable tradition) that needs to be reformed.
When learning to use "ناپسند" (nā-pasand), learners might make a few common errors. These often stem from oversimplifying its meaning or misplacing it in a sentence structure.
- Mistake 1: Confusing it with Simple Dislike
- While "ناپسند" can mean simply "not pleasing," it often carries a stronger connotation of disapproval, unacceptability, or even moral judgment. Learners might use it for very mild dislikes where a word like "دوست ندارم" (dust nadāram - I don't like) would be more appropriate. For example, saying "این غذا ناپسند است" (This food is undesirable) might sound overly harsh if you just mean you don't particularly enjoy it. It's better suited for things that are genuinely offensive or inappropriate.
Another common pitfall is related to the grammatical function and placement of the word.
Incorrect: ناپسند رفتار او بود.
- Mistake 2: Incorrect Word Order
- As an adjective, "ناپسند" usually follows the noun it modifies or acts as a predicate after a linking verb like "است" (ast - is). Placing it before the noun without proper grammatical structure can lead to awkward or incorrect sentences. For instance, "ناپسند رفتار او" is not a standard Persian construction. The correct way to say "His behavior was undesirable" is "رفتار او ناپسند بود" (raftār-e ū nā-pasand bud).
Learners might also struggle with using "ناپسند" in contexts where a more specific adjective would be better.
Incorrect: او ناپسند است.
- Mistake 3: Overgeneralization
- While "ناپسند" can describe a person's actions, using it to describe a person directly as "ناپسند" can sound very blunt and judgmental. It's more common to describe their *actions* or *behavior* as "ناپسند". If you want to say someone is a bad person, you would use different vocabulary. For instance, saying "او ناپسند است" (He is undesirable) is grammatically correct but might be too strong or vague depending on the intended meaning. It's better to specify what about them is undesirable, e.g., "رفتار او ناپسند است." (His behavior is undesirable.)
While "ناپسند" (nā-pasand) is a useful word for expressing undesirability or disapproval, there are other Persian words that can be used depending on the specific nuance you want to convey. Understanding these alternatives will help you choose the most precise term.
- Meaning: Not liked/disliked
- ناپسند (nā-pasand): This is the general term for undesirable, displeasing, or disagreeable. It can apply to actions, situations, or objects.
- نامطلوب (nā-matlub): Similar to "ناپسند," this word means "undesirable" or "unwanted." It often carries a slightly more formal tone and is frequently used in contexts related to outcomes, conditions, or results.
- ناخوشایند (nā-khoshāyand): This term means "unpleasant" or "disagreeable." It often relates to sensory experiences (like a bad smell or taste) or situations that cause discomfort.
Consider the following comparison:
نتیجه ناپسند بود.
این وضعیت نامطلوب است.
صدای او ناخوشایند بود.
- Meaning: Inappropriate/Wrong
- نامناسب (nā-munāsib): This means "inappropriate" or "unsuitable." It's often used when something doesn't fit the context, time, or situation.
- نادرست (nā-dorost): This means "incorrect," "wrong," or "false." It's used when something is factually wrong or morally incorrect.
- نامشروع (nā-mashru'): This means "illegitimate," "unlawful," or "unethical." It carries a strong sense of being against the law or moral principles.
Here's how they differ:
این لباس برای مراسم رسمی نامناسب است.
این اطلاعات نادرست است.
این عمل نامشروع است.
- Antonym: Pleasing/Acceptable
- پسندیده (pasandideh): This is the direct antonym of "ناپسند," meaning "pleasing," "acceptable," or "commendable." It indicates something that is well-liked or approved of.
- مطلوب (matlub): The opposite of "نامطلوب," meaning "desirable" or "wanted." It signifies something that is sought after or preferred.
- خوشایند (khoshāyand): The opposite of "ناخوشایند," meaning "pleasant" or "agreeable." It describes something that provides enjoyment or comfort.
How Formal Is It?
Curiosidade
The prefix 'نا-' is very common in Persian and is used to negate many words, creating their opposites. For example, 'خوش' (khosh - happy) becomes 'ناخوش' (nā-khosh - unhappy). Similarly, 'توان' (tavān - able) becomes 'ناتوان' (nā-tavān - unable).
Guia de pronúncia
- Pronouncing 'nā' too short, like 'na'. It should be a longer 'aa' sound.
- Misplacing the stress on the first or middle syllable.
- Not clearly articulating the 'p' and 's' sounds in 'pasand'.

Adjective Placement
In Persian, adjectives usually follow the noun they modify. For example, 'رفتار ناپسند' (undesirable behavior), not 'ناپسند رفتار'.
Using 'است' and 'بود'
'ناپسند است' means 'is undesirable' (present tense). 'ناپسند بود' means 'was undesirable' (past tense).
The Negative Prefix 'نا-'
The prefix 'نا-' negates the meaning of the word it's attached to. 'پسند' (liking) becomes 'ناپسند' (not liking/undesirable).
Pluralization of Nouns
Adjectives like 'ناپسند' do not change for plural nouns. If you have 'رفتار ناپسند' (undesirable behavior), you would say 'رفتارهای ناپسند' (undesirable behaviors) for multiple behaviors.
Using Adverbs with Adjectives
Adverbs like 'خیلی' (very) or 'کاملاً' (completely) can modify adjectives. 'خیلی ناپسند' (very undesirable).

Less common usageFácil de confundir
Both words mean undesirable and are often interchangeable.
'ناپسند' often carries a stronger sense of personal dislike or social disapproval. 'نامطلوب' is more frequently used for outcomes, conditions, or results that are not wanted or are unfavorable in a more objective sense. For example, a 'نتیجه ناپسند' (undesirable result) could be due to personal taste, while 'نتیجه نامطلوب' might refer to a result that fails to meet a specific goal.
این وضعیت ناپسند است. (This situation is disagreeable/displeasing.) این وضعیت نامطلوب است. (This situation is undesirable/unfavorable.)
Both words describe something negative and unpleasant.
'ناخوشایند' typically refers to sensory experiences (like a bad smell or sound) or things that cause general discomfort or mild displeasure. 'ناپسند' is broader and can encompass moral or social disapproval, or simply something that is not liked. You might say 'صدای ناخوشایندی شنیدم' (I heard an unpleasant sound), but you would say 'رفتار او ناپسند بود' (His behavior was undesirable/inappropriate).
بوی ناخوشایندی در آشپزخانه بود. (There was an unpleasant smell in the kitchen.) این شوخی ناپسند بود. (This joke was inappropriate/disagreeable.)
Both words indicate something is not right or acceptable.
'نامناسب' means inappropriate or unsuitable, emphasizing that something doesn't fit the context, time, or situation. 'ناپسند' means undesirable or disagreeable, indicating a general lack of approval or liking, often with a stronger judgment. For instance, wearing shorts to a formal wedding might be 'نامناسب' (inappropriate), while a rude comment would be 'ناپسند' (undesirable/disagreeable).
این لباس برای جلسه رسمی نامناسب است. (These clothes are inappropriate for the formal meeting.) این حرف ناپسند بود. (That remark was disagreeable/inappropriate.)
Both are negative adjectives.
'بد' (bad) is a very general term. 'ناپسند' is more specific; it implies not just badness, but specifically being disagreeable, undesirable, or inappropriate according to certain standards. You might say 'هوای بدی است' (The weather is bad), but you would say 'رفتار او ناپسند است' (His behavior is undesirable/inappropriate).
این یک اتفاق بد بود. (This was a bad incident.) این رفتار ناپسند بود. (This behavior was undesirable/inappropriate.)
Both indicate rejection or disapproval.
'غیرقابل قبول' (unacceptable) is a stronger term than 'ناپسند'. 'ناپسند' means undesirable or disagreeable, implying a negative judgment. 'غیرقابل قبول' means it cannot be accepted or tolerated, often due to ethical, legal, or strong social reasons. Something 'ناپسند' might be tolerated by some, but something 'غیرقابل قبول' generally is not.
این رفتار ناپسند است. (This behavior is undesirable.) این رفتار غیرقابل قبول است. (This behavior is unacceptable.)

Adjective Placement
Remember that in Persian, adjectives usually follow the noun. So, instead of 'ناپسند رفتار', say 'رفتار ناپسند'.
Learn the Prefix 'نا-'
Understanding the negative prefix 'نا-' will help you decipher many Persian words. It's the opposite of the root word, like 'پسند' (liking) vs. 'ناپسند' (not liking).
Stress the Last Syllable
The stress in 'ناپسند' falls on the last syllable: na-pas-AND. Practicing this will make your pronunciation sound more natural.
Visual Association
Imagine a red 'X' over a smiley face. The 'X' represents 'نا-' (not) and the smiley face represents 'پسند' (pleasing). This visual can help you remember 'not pleasing = ناپسند'.
Distinguish from Similar Words
Be aware of words like 'نامطلوب', 'ناخوشایند', and 'نامناسب'. While related, they have subtle differences in meaning and usage. 'ناپسند' is often about personal or social disapproval.
Use it in Sentences

Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntasThe word 'ناپسند' is formed by combining the Persian prefix 'نا-' (nā-), meaning 'not' or 'un-', with the word 'پسند' (pasand), meaning 'liking' or 'approval'. So, literally, it means 'not liked' or 'not approved', which translates to undesirable or disagreeable.
The strength of 'ناپسند' can vary with context. It can range from mild dislike to strong disapproval. While it's not as strong as words like 'منفور' (abhorred), it generally carries more weight than simply saying 'I don't like it'. It often implies a social or moral judgment.
While grammatically possible, directly calling a person 'ناپسند' can sound very blunt and judgmental. It's more common and often more polite to describe their actions, behavior, or words as 'ناپسند'. For example, 'رفتار او ناپسند بود' (His behavior was undesirable) is more common than 'او ناپسند بود' (He was undesirable).
'ناپسند' often implies a personal or social dislike or disagreement, while 'نامطلوب' is more frequently used for outcomes, results, or conditions that are unfavorable or not wanted. For instance, you might say 'این وضعیت ناپسند است' (This situation is disagreeable) if it bothers you personally, but 'این وضعیت نامطلوب است' (This situation is undesirable) if it fails to meet certain standards or goals.
The pronunciation is na-pas-AND, with the stress on the last syllable. The 'nā' has a long 'a' sound like in 'father', and 'pasand' sounds similar to 'pass-and'.
The most direct antonym is 'پسندیده' (pasandideh), which means pleasing, acceptable, or commendable. Other antonyms include 'مطلوب' (matlub - desirable) and 'خوشایند' (khoshāyand - pleasant).
Yes, it can be used in informal conversations, especially to express strong personal dislike or disapproval of something someone has done or said. However, in very casual settings, simpler terms might be preferred.

Yes, common phrases include 'رفتار ناپسند' (undesirable behavior), 'نتیجه ناپسند' (undesirable outcome), 'واکنش ناپسند' (undesirable reaction), and 'کاملاً ناپسند' (completely undesirable).
You can remember it by breaking it down: 'نا-' (not) + 'پسند' (liking) = not liked. Or, think of it as similar to the English 'nasty' or 'not pleasing'.
