سوم em 30 segundos
- Sevom means 'third' in Persian.
- It is derived from the number 'se' (three).
- It usually follows the noun with an Ezafe (e.g., طبقه سوم).
- It can also appear before the noun as 'sevomin' (e.g., سومین روز).
The Persian word سوم (pronounced 'sevom') is the ordinal number for 'third'. It is derived from the cardinal number سه (se), which means 'three'. In the Persian language, ordinal numbers are predominantly formed by adding the suffix -om to the cardinal base. This word is fundamental for anyone learning Persian as it appears in almost every aspect of daily life, from navigating the floors of a building to discussing historical centuries or school grades. Understanding 'sevom' requires more than just knowing its English equivalent; it involves understanding how Persian speakers structure their world chronologically and hierarchically. In Persian culture, being 'third' often carries specific connotations in sports, academic rankings, and even in the sequence of prayers or traditional rituals.
- Grammatical Function
- As an adjective, 'sevom' typically follows the noun it modifies, connected by the Ezafe construction (the short 'e' sound). For example, 'the third floor' is 'tabaghe-ye sevom'.
- Numerical Context
- It represents the position of number three in a sequence. It is distinct from 'se' (the quantity three) and 'sevomin' (the third of a specific set, often used before the noun).
او در مسابقه مقام سوم را کسب کرد.
In formal writing, you might encounter the Arabic-derived equivalent ثالث (saales), particularly in legal or theological contexts, such as 'shakhs-e saales' (third party). However, in 99% of conversational and standard modern Persian, 'sevom' is the go-to term. When you are walking through the streets of Tehran or Isfahan, you will see this word on street signs (e.g., 'Kheyaban-e Sevom' - Third Street) and in shopping malls. It is also essential for students, as 'kelas-e sevom' refers to the third grade of elementary school, a pivotal year in the Iranian education system where children transition into more complex subjects.
امروز روز سوم سفر ما است.
- Social Usage
- In social gatherings, if you are the third person to arrive, you might say 'man sevomin nafar hastam' or 'man nafar-e sevom hastam'.
Using 'sevom' correctly in Persian involves mastering the Ezafe construction. Unlike English, where 'third' comes before the noun (e.g., 'the third book'), Persian usually places 'sevom' after the noun. The noun is linked to the adjective by a short 'e' sound. For example, 'ketab-e sevom' (the third book). This is the most common pattern you will encounter. However, there is an alternative form, سومین (sevomin), which *does* come before the noun and does *not* use the Ezafe. For example, 'sevomin ketab' also means 'the third book'. Choosing between 'sevom' and 'sevomin' often depends on emphasis and the specific rhythm of the sentence, though 'sevom' (post-nominal) is generally more frequent in everyday speech.
- The Ezafe Rule
- Noun + -e + sevom. Example: 'Dars-e sevom' (Lesson three/The third lesson).
- The Pre-nominal Rule
- Sevom + -in + Noun. Example: 'Sevomin dars' (The third lesson).
طبقه سوم این ساختمان بسیار بلند است.
When discussing dates, 'sevom' is used to denote the third day of the month. In the Persian calendar (Solar Hijri), months have 30 or 31 days. You would say 'sevom-e Farvardin' for the 3rd of Farvardin. Note that in this case, 'sevom' acts almost like a noun, and the month name follows it with an Ezafe. This is a slight variation from the standard adjective usage. Furthermore, 'sevom' is used in academic contexts to describe grades. 'Kelas-e sevom-e dabestan' means third grade of elementary school, while 'sevom-e rahnama-yi' (in the older system) or 'sevom-e motevasete' refers to higher levels of schooling.
او سومین فرزند خانواده است.
- In Fractions
- While 'yek sevom' means 'one third', the word 'sevom' here functions as the denominator. This is a very common mathematical usage.
You will hear 'sevom' in a variety of real-world scenarios in Iran and other Persian-speaking regions like Tajikistan and Afghanistan. One of the most common places is in an elevator. As the elevator ascends, the announcement or the digital display will indicate 'tabaghe-ye sevom' (third floor). In Iran, the ground floor is 'hamkaf', so the 'third floor' is actually the fourth level of the building. This is a crucial distinction for English speakers who might be used to different floor-numbering systems. Another common context is in sports broadcasting. Commentators will frequently use 'sevom' to describe a team's position in the league table or an athlete's finish in a race. 'Tim-e ma dar radif-e sevom ast' (Our team is in third place).
- Public Transportation
- On buses or metros, you might hear 'istgah-e sevom' (the third station) when people are giving directions or announcing stops.
- Radio and News
- News anchors often use 'sevom' when discussing international relations, such as 'kheshvar-e sevom' (a third country) in diplomatic negotiations.
لطفاً در کوچه سوم بپیچید به راست.
In the kitchen, recipes might call for adding an ingredient at the 'marhale-ye sevom' (the third stage/step). In literature and storytelling, 'sevom' is used to distinguish between characters or chapters. For instance, 'fasl-e sevom' (chapter three). Even in religious contexts, 'sevom' is significant; for example, 'sevom-e Emam Hossein' refers to the third day after the martyrdom of Imam Hossein, which is observed with specific mourning rituals in Iran. In casual conversation, if someone is telling a long story, they might use 'sevom' to list their points: 'avval inke..., dovvom inke..., sevom inke...' (First..., second..., third...).
این سومین باری است که به تو زنگ میزنم.
One of the most frequent mistakes for English speakers is forgetting the Ezafe when 'sevom' follows a noun. Because English says 'third floor' (no connector), learners often say 'tabaghe sevom' instead of the correct tabaghe-ye sevom. Another common error is confusing the cardinal number se (three) with the ordinal sevom (third). For example, saying 'man dar tabaghe se zendegi mikonam' (I live on floor three) is technically understandable but sounds unnatural; 'tabaghe-ye sevom' is the standard way to express this. Additionally, learners often struggle with the pronunciation of the 'v' in 'sevom'. In many dialects, especially in Tehran, the 'v' is pronounced quite softly, almost like a 'w' or a slight glide, and some people even double the 'v' sound (sev-vom), which is reflected in some older spellings.
- The 'Sevom' vs 'Sevomin' Confusion
- Mistake: 'Sevomin ketab-e'. Correction: 'Sevomin ketab' (No Ezafe after 'sevomin').
- The 'Se' vs 'Sevom' Confusion
- Mistake: 'Ruz-e se'. Correction: 'Ruz-e sevom' (The third day).
غلط: من در کلاس سه هستم.
درست: من در کلاس سوم هستم.
Another nuance involves the use of 'sevom' in dates. While in English we say 'March third', in Persian, you must use the Ezafe: 'sevom-e Maarch'. Forgetting this 'e' sound makes the date sound disjointed. Also, be careful with the word 'saless'. While it means 'third', it is almost exclusively used in formal titles or legal terms. Using 'saless' instead of 'sevom' in a casual sentence like 'I want the third apple' would sound very strange and overly poetic or archaic. Finally, ensure you don't confuse 'sevom' with 'si-om' (thirtieth), as the 'se' and 'si' sounds can be similar to an untrained ear.
While 'sevom' is the primary word for 'third', Persian offers several alternatives depending on the register and context. The most prominent alternative is ثالث (saales), an Arabic loanword. You will rarely hear 'saales' in conversation, but it is ubiquitous in legal documents, particularly regarding insurance. 'Bime-ye shakhs-e saales' (Third-party insurance) is a term every Iranian driver knows. Another related term is سهگانه (se-ganeh), which means 'triple' or 'tripartite'. This is used in contexts like 'the triple alliance' or 'triathlon'. If you are talking about a group of three things, you might use سهتایی (se-ta-yi), meaning 'a set of three'.
- Sevom vs. Saales
- 'Sevom' is Persian, used for general sequences. 'Saales' is Arabic, used in formal/legal contexts like 'Third Party'.
- Sevom vs. Sevomin
- 'Sevom' follows the noun (Ketab-e sevom). 'Sevomin' precedes the noun (Sevomin ketab).
او به عنوان شخص ثالث در دادگاه حاضر شد.
In mathematical contexts, 'yek sevom' (one third) is the standard fraction. You wouldn't use 'saales' here. For 'thirdly' in an argument, you can use 'sevom' or 'sevom-an' (the latter being an adverbial form with the Arabic tanwin suffix, though 'sevom' is more common). There is also the word ثلث (sols), which specifically means 'one third' and is often used in historical or religious contexts, such as 'sols-e emval' (one third of the property) in inheritance law. Understanding these distinctions helps you navigate between casual street talk and formal professional environments.
- Related Concept: 'Se-shanbe'
- While not meaning 'third', 'Se-shanbe' is Tuesday, which is the 'third' day after Saturday (the start of the Iranian week).
How Formal Is It?
Curiosidade
The suffix '-om' used to form ordinals in Persian is cognate with the Latin '-imus' (as in 'decimus' for tenth).
Guia de pronúncia
- Pronouncing it as 'se-vum' (like 'gum').
- Over-emphasizing the 'v' like a hard English 'v'.
- Confusing it with 'si-om' (thirtieth).
- Dropping the 'o' and saying 'sevm'.
- Adding an extra 'v' sound (sev-vom) which is common but not always standard in writing.
Nível de dificuldade
Easy to recognize once you know the number three (سه).
Requires remembering the 'v' and the 'm' suffix.
Pronunciation is straightforward but watch the Ezafe.
Can be confused with 'si-om' (30th) in fast speech.

Summary
The word 'sevom' is the essential Persian ordinal for 'third'. Remember that it typically follows the noun using the Ezafe construction (e.g., 'ketab-e sevom'), but can precede it as 'sevomin'. It is used for floors, dates, grades, and rankings.
- Sevom means 'third' in Persian.
- It is derived from the number 'se' (three).
- It usually follows the noun with an Ezafe (e.g., طبقه سوم).
- It can also appear before the noun as 'sevomin' (e.g., سومین روز).
Ezafe is Key
Always remember the 'e' sound connecting the noun to 'sevom'. Without it, the sentence sounds broken.
Pre-nominal Option
Use 'sevomin' if you want to sound a bit more descriptive or emphatic about the sequence.
Soft 'V'
Don't over-pronounce the 'v'. Keep it light and fluid between the 'e' and 'o' vowels.
Floor Numbering
Remember that in Iran, the 'third floor' is higher than you might expect because of the 'ground floor' (hamkaf).
Exemplo
این سومین بار است که او دیر میآید.
