Imagine a class with many students who like apples, but only a few students like oranges. The students who like oranges are an "اقلیت".
This word is used to describe groups that are smaller than the main group in a place, like a country or a city.
For example, if most people speak one language, but a small group speaks another, that small group is an "اقلیت" based on language.
When we talk about an "اقلیت" (aqaliyat), we're referring to a minority. Think of it as a smaller group of people within a larger population. This group might have different traditions, beliefs, or even speak a different language than most people around them. It's a way to describe a distinct group that is not the majority.
When discussing populations or social groups in Persian, اقلیت (aqalliyat) is the term for 'minority'.
It refers to a smaller group within a larger one, often defined by ethnicity, religion, language, or other characteristics.
For example, you might hear about 'religious minorities' (اقلیتهای مذهبی) or 'ethnic minorities' (اقلیتهای قومی).
Understanding this word is crucial for discussing societal structures and demographics in Persian.
When discussing topics like diversity, demographics, or social structures in Persian, the word اقلیت (aqalliyat) is crucial.

§ What اقلیت (aqalliyat) means
- Definition
- Minority; a small group within a community or country, differing from the majority.
The Persian word اقلیت (aqalliyat) is a noun and it means 'minority'. It refers to a smaller group of people within a larger community or country. This group is often distinguished by its ethnicity, religion, language, or other characteristics that are different from the majority population.
Think of it like this: if you have a classroom with 20 students, and 3 of them prefer to draw, while 17 prefer to read, the 3 students who prefer to draw would be considered a اقلیت (aqalliyat) in that specific context. In real-world situations, it's used for groups that are distinct from the larger population in a significant way.
You'll often hear اقلیت (aqalliyat) in discussions about social issues, politics, and demography. It's a very common and important word to understand if you want to follow news or have deeper conversations in Persian.
§ When to use اقلیت (aqalliyat)
You use اقلیت (aqalliyat) when you want to describe a group that is numerically smaller than a dominant group. Here are some common scenarios:
- Ethnic Minorities: When talking about different ethnic groups living in a country where one ethnic group is dominant.
- Religious Minorities: When discussing religious groups that are not the majority religion in a specific area.
- Linguistic Minorities: For groups of people who speak a different language from the main language of a country or region.
- Political Minorities: In politics, it can refer to a party or group with fewer votes or less power compared to the majority party.
- Social Minorities: Any group that is distinct and smaller in number within a broader society.
It's a versatile word, but always remember its core meaning: a smaller, distinct group within a larger one.

容易混淆的词
The direct opposite: majority vs. minority. Remember them as a pair.
While 'اقلیت' is a small group, it implies a distinct subgroup within a larger population, not just any small group.
This is the political term for 'opposition', which an 'اقلیت' might form, but 'اقلیت' is a broader demographic concept.
语法模式
容易混淆
This is the direct opposite of 'اقلیت' and refers to the 'majority'. Learners often confuse antonyms if they don't grasp the core meaning of each.
While 'اقلیت' means a small group, 'اکثریت' means the larger part or the greater number.
اکثریت مردم به این طرح رأی مثبت دادند. (The majority of people voted yes to this plan.)
Both 'اقلیت' and 'گروه کوچک' translate to 'small group'. The confusion arises from not understanding the specific context of 'اقلیت' as a designated societal or political subgroup.
While 'گروه کوچک' is a general term for any small group, 'اقلیت' specifically denotes a small, distinct group within a larger population, often with social, cultural, or political implications.
ما یک گروه کوچک برای مطالعه تشکیل دادیم. (We formed a small group to study.)
Sometimes learners might mistakenly associate 'اقلیت' with a 'committee' if they think of it as a small, specialized body. However, their functions and meanings are very different.
'اقلیت' refers to a demographic or political subgroup, whereas 'کمیته' is a small group of people appointed for a specific function or task.
کمیته تصمیم گرفت پروژه را آغاز کند. (The committee decided to start the project.)
In a political context, an 'opposition party' (حزب مخالف) might be a minority. This can lead to confusion between the general concept of 'minority' and a specific 'political party'.
'اقلیت' is a broader term for any subgroup. 'حزب' specifically refers to a political organization.
او عضو حزب کارگر است. (He is a member of the Labor Party.)
An 'اقلیت' might often be in 'opposition' to the majority. This functional overlap can cause learners to conflate the two concepts.
'اقلیت' is a noun describing a group. 'مخالف' is an adjective meaning 'opposed' or a noun meaning 'opponent'. While a minority can be in opposition, the terms are not interchangeable.
او با این نظر مخالف است. (He is against this opinion.)
句型

如何使用
When using اقلیت (aqalliyat), remember it's a feminine noun in Arabic, but in Persian, gender isn't typically marked in the same way. It's often used with the plural suffix ها (-ha) if you're talking about multiple minorities, e.g., اقلیتها (aqalliyat-ha) meaning 'minorities'. You might hear it in contexts like 'ethnic minority' (اقلیت قومی - aqalliyat-e qowmi) or 'religious minority' (اقلیت مذهبی - aqalliyat-e mazhabi).
A common mistake is to confuse اقلیت (aqalliyat) with کمیت (kammiyat), which means 'quantity' or 'amount'. While both relate to numbers, اقلیت specifically refers to a smaller group of people, whereas کمیت is a general term for quantity. Another potential mistake is forgetting to add the plural marker ها (-ha) if you mean multiple minorities, though context often makes this clear.

常见问题
10 个问题The pronunciation of اقلیت (aqalliyat) is a-qal-LEE-yat. The stress is on the third syllable, 'LEE'. Listen to native speakers if you can!
Good question! اقلیت (aqalliyat) can refer to both. It's often used for a numerical minority, like 'religious minority' (اقلیت مذهبی) or 'ethnic minority' (اقلیت قومی). But it can also imply a social group with less power or influence.
'کمی' (kami) simply means 'a little bit' or 'a small amount'. It's about quantity. 'اقلیت' (aqalliyat) specifically means 'minority' in the sense of a smaller group in contrast to a majority. So, while a minority is a small group, you wouldn't use 'کمی' to describe a social or ethnic minority.
The direct opposite of اقلیت (aqalliyat) is اکثریت (aksariyat), which means 'majority'. So, you have 'minority' and 'majority'.
To say 'ethnic minority', you would use اقلیت قومی (aqalliyat-e qoumi). قومی (qoumi) means 'ethnic' or 'national'.
It's a relatively formal word, yes. You'll hear it in news, political discussions, and more formal conversations. For everyday small numbers, you'd use other words.
While technically possible in very specific, abstract contexts, it's overwhelmingly used for groups of people. For a small number of things, you'd typically use phrases like 'تعداد کم' (te'dad-e kam - small number) or 'مقدار کم' (meqdar-e kam - small amount).
Yes, a very common one is اقلیتهای مذهبی (aqalliyat-ha-ye mazhabi) meaning 'religious minorities'. Another is حقوق اقلیتها (hoquq-e aqalliyat-ha) meaning 'minority rights'.
Not inherently. It's a descriptive term. However, depending on the context, discussing an 'اقلیت' might bring up discussions of discrimination or disadvantage, but the word itself is neutral.
The plural of اقلیت is اقلیتها (aqalliyat-ha). We add the plural suffix 'ها' (-ha) to make it plural.
