When you're learning Persian at the A2 level, you're starting to ask more direct questions. چیست (pronounced 'cheest') is a key word for this. It's used when you want to know 'what is' something, specifically when you're asking about a non-human thing or a concept. Think of it as a straightforward way to inquire about the identity or nature of something. You'll often hear it in simple, direct questions.
When you want to ask "What is...?" in Persian, you use چیست (pronounced: cheest). This word is a combination of چه (che - what) and است (ast - is). It's always used when you're asking about a singular thing.
For example, if you want to ask "What is this?" you would say: این چیست؟ (een cheest?). Or, "What is your job?" would be شغل شما چیست؟ (shoghl-e shoma cheest?).
Remember, چیست is specifically for asking "what is" about a single item or concept.
When you want to ask "What is?" in Persian, you will use چیست (pronounced "cheest").
This word is a combination of چه (che), meaning "what," and است (ast), meaning "is."
You'll typically place چیست at the end of a question, for example, after the noun you're asking about.
It's important to remember that چیست is used specifically when inquiring about a singular, non-human object or concept.
When asking about a singular thing in Persian, you'll often use چیست. It directly translates to "what is?" and is a fundamental part of asking for definitions or identification.
You'll hear this a lot in everyday conversation when people are trying to understand what something is. For example, if you see an unfamiliar object, you might point and ask, "این چیست؟" meaning "What is this?"
چیست 30秒了解
- چیست is a question word.
- It means 'what is?'
- Use it for things, not people.
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
In Persian, the word چیست (pronounced cheest) is a common and useful interrogative pronoun. It directly translates to "what is?" and is used to ask about the nature or identity of a thing. Think of it as a question word specifically for objects, concepts, or abstract ideas.
- Definition
- What is? (used for asking about a thing).
You'll find چیست used in formal and semi-formal contexts. It's the kind of word you'd hear in a classroom, a news report, or when asking a direct, factual question. While it's perfectly understandable in casual conversation, native speakers might opt for a slightly more informal alternative (which we'll cover later) in very relaxed settings.
The key thing to remember is that چیست always implies a question about "what something *is*." It's not for asking about actions (like "what are you doing?") or choices (like "what do you want?"). It's specifically for defining or identifying something.
این چیست؟ (What is this?)
معنی این کلمه چیست؟ (What is the meaning of this word?)
آدرس ایمیل شما چیست؟ (What is your email address?)
Notice how in all these examples, you're asking to identify or define something: "this," "the meaning of this word," or "your email address."
§ Formal vs. Informal Usage
As mentioned, چیست leans towards the more formal side. While perfectly acceptable, in very casual conversations, you might hear a slightly shorter or different construction. However, as a learner, using چیست is always a safe and correct choice. It's polite, clear, and universally understood.
- In formal contexts: Always use چیست.
- In semi-formal contexts: چیست is appropriate.
- In very casual contexts: While چیست is understood, you might hear alternatives like "چیه؟" (chieh?) which is a contracted, more colloquial form. We'll dive into this later, but for now, focus on mastering چیست.
Understanding the nuance of formality is crucial in Persian, and چیست is a great starting point for formal questioning. It shows respect and a good grasp of the language's structure.
رنگ مورد علاقه شما چیست؟ (What is your favorite color? - Formal/Neutral)
هدف این پروژه چیست؟ (What is the purpose of this project? - Formal)
By consistently using چیست, you'll be able to confidently ask defining questions in Persian, making your communication clear and effective. It's a foundational word for building your vocabulary and understanding how to inquire about the world around you in Persian.
§ Understanding 'چیست' (Chist)
'چیست' (Chist) is a very useful word in Persian. It means "What is?" and you'll use it all the time to ask about things. Think of it as a direct and simple way to get information.
- DEFINITION
- What is? (used for asking about a thing).
§ How to use 'چیست' in a sentence
The structure for using 'چیست' is pretty straightforward. You usually put the noun you're asking about before 'چیست'.
- Noun + چیست؟
Let's look at some examples to make this clear.
این چیست؟
Translation hint: What is this?
آن چیست؟
Translation hint: What is that?
اسم شما چیست؟
Translation hint: What is your name?
شغل شما چیست؟
Translation hint: What is your job/occupation?
§ Asking about definitions with 'چیست'
'چیست' is perfect for asking for definitions or the nature of something. Just put the word you want defined before 'چیست'.
معنی این کلمه چیست؟
Translation hint: What is the meaning of this word?
فلسفه چیست؟
Translation hint: What is philosophy?
§ Common phrases with 'چیست'
Here are a few more common ways you'll hear and use 'چیست':
هدف شما چیست؟ (hadaf-e shomā chist?) - What is your goal?
مشکل چیست؟ (moshkel chist?) - What is the problem?
نتیجه چیست؟ (natije chist?) - What is the result?
Practice these sentences, and you'll quickly get comfortable using 'چیست' in your Persian conversations. It's a foundational word for asking questions and understanding new information.
§ What 'Chiist' Means
- DEFINITION
- What is? (used for asking about a thing).
The word چیست (chiist) is a very common Persian pronoun. You'll use it all the time to ask 'What is?' when you're talking about an object or an idea. It's similar to saying 'What is this?' or 'What is that?' but it's more general. Think of it as your go-to word for asking for definitions or information about something specific.
§ Practical Examples of 'Chiist'
Let's look at some real-world situations where you'd hear or use چیست. You'll find it everywhere – in formal settings, at school, and even in the news.
این چیست؟
This is a super basic and useful phrase. It literally means 'What is this?' You can point to anything and ask this. For example, if you see a new gadget at work and don't know what it is, you'd ask this.
معنی این کلمه چیست؟
Here, you're asking 'What is the meaning of this word?' This is a common question in a classroom setting or when you're reading something and come across an unfamiliar word. The phrase literally translates to 'meaning of this word what is?'
هدف پروژه چیست؟
In a work meeting or a school project discussion, you might hear or ask, 'What is the goal of the project?' This is a direct way to get clarification on objectives. The structure is 'goal of project what is?'
خبر مهم امروز چیست؟
When you turn on the news or check a news website, you might implicitly or explicitly be asking 'What is today's important news?' In Persian, you'd hear something like this. It's 'news important today what is?'
وظیفه شما چیست؟
This means 'What is your responsibility?' You might hear this in a professional context, clarifying roles, or even at school if a teacher asks about a student's tasks. The construction is 'responsibility your what is?'
§ 'Chiist' in Formal vs. Informal Settings
While چیست is quite common, it tends to be a bit more formal than its spoken equivalent. In everyday casual conversation, especially with friends and family, Persians often shorten 'چیست' to just 'چیه' (chi-ye).
For example:
- Formal/Written: این چیست؟ (This is what?)
- Informal/Spoken: این چیه؟ (This is what?)
Both mean the same thing ('What is this?'), but one is better suited for a formal report and the other for chatting with a friend. As a learner, it's good to recognize both.
§ How to Practice 'Chiist'
The best way to get comfortable with چیست is to start using it. Next time you see something new or need a definition, try forming a sentence with it. You can also listen for it in news reports or educational videos in Persian.
- When watching a Persian news channel, try to catch sentences where 'چیست' is used to introduce a topic or question.
- If you're reading a Persian article online, pay attention to how 'چیست' is used to define concepts.
- Practice asking simple questions with 'چیست' about objects around you.
Understanding when and how to use چیست will significantly improve your ability to ask questions and understand information in Persian. It’s a fundamental building block for clear communication.
§ Forgetting the Subject
One of the most common mistakes English speakers make when using 'چیست' (chiist) is forgetting that in Persian, you often don't need to explicitly state the subject if it's clear from the context. In English, we almost always say 'What is IT?' or 'What is THIS?'. In Persian, 'چیست' already implies 'what is it/this/that'.
Trying to literally translate 'What is this?' as 'این چیست؟' (een chiist?) is not necessarily wrong, but often redundant. If you're pointing at something, or it's obvious what you're asking about, just 'چیست؟' is perfectly fine and more natural.
این چیست؟
Translation hint: What is this?
چیست؟
Translation hint: What is it?
§ Using for People
'چیست' is exclusively used for inquiring about *things*, concepts, or abstract ideas, not people. If you want to ask 'Who is this?' or 'Who is that?', you need to use 'کیست؟' (kiist?), which means 'who is?'. Using 'چیست' for a person will sound very strange and incorrect to a native speaker.
این کیست؟
Translation hint: Who is this?
NOT:
این چیست؟
Translation hint: What is this? (if referring to a person, this is incorrect)
§ Not Using Formal vs. Informal
While 'چیست' is grammatically correct, it's quite formal. In everyday spoken Persian, people more commonly use 'چیه؟' (chiye?) which is the informal contraction of 'چی است؟' (chi ast?). While 'چیست' will be understood, it might sound a bit stiff or like you're reading from a book in casual conversation.
- Formal
- این چیست؟ (Een chiist? - What is this?)
- Informal/Colloquial
- این چیه؟ (Een chiye? - What is this?)
§ Confusing with 'چرا' (cherā)
Sometimes, beginners might confuse 'چیست' (what is?) with 'چرا' (cherā), which means 'why?'. These words sound somewhat similar, but their meanings and uses are entirely different. Always double-check which question word you intend to use.
معنی این کلمه چیست؟
Translation hint: What is the meaning of this word?
چرا اینجا هستی؟
Translation hint: Why are you here?
§ Incorrect Word Order
While Persian word order is relatively flexible compared to English, it's generally best to place the question word at the end of the phrase or sentence when using 'چیست'. Putting it at the beginning can sometimes sound awkward or overly emphatic, though it's not always strictly incorrect.
Correct and natural:
شغل شما چیست؟
Translation hint: What is your job?
Less natural, though understandable:
چیست شغل شما؟
Translation hint: What is your job? (word order sounds a bit off)
How Formal Is It?
"علت این حادثه چیست؟ (What is the cause of this incident?)"
"هدف شما چیست؟ (What is your goal?)"
"این چیه؟ (What is this?)"
"اسباببازیت چیه؟ (What is your toy?)"

This means 'Who is?' and is used for asking about people, not things. 'چیست' is for things, 'کیست' is for people.
While 'چه' also means 'what,' it's often used differently, sometimes as a standalone or before nouns to ask 'what kind of...' or 'which...'. 'چیست' specifically means 'what is?'
This means 'Which one is?' and is used when choosing from a selection. 'چیست' is for general inquiry about a thing, 'کدام است' is for specific identification from options.

Learners might struggle with the word order, as 'چیست' (what is?) comes at the end of the phrase.
In Persian, question words often appear at the end of a sentence, unlike English where 'what' usually comes at the beginning.
کتاب چیست؟ (What is a book?)
The combination of 'اسم' (name) and 'شما' (your) with 'چیست' (what is?) can be tricky for English speakers expecting a more direct translation like 'What is your name?'
'اسم شما' directly translates to 'your name,' so 'اسم شما چیست؟' is literally 'Your name what is?'
اسم شما چیست؟ (What is your name?)
Simple and direct, but learners might overthink its usage for inanimate objects.
Used specifically for 'what is this?' when referring to a single, inanimate object.
این چیست؟ (What is this?)
Similar to 'این چیست؟', but for objects further away. The distinction between 'این' (this) and 'آن' (that) needs to be clear.
Used for 'what is that?' when referring to a single, inanimate object that is not close by.

More abstract usage of 'چیست' with 'هدف' (goal/purpose) can be a step up in complexity for A2 learners.
Applies 'what is' to an abstract concept like a goal or purpose, similar to how it's used for physical objects.

如何使用
When you want to ask "What is...?" in Persian, you use the word چیست (pronounced "cheest"). This word is usually placed at the end of the question. It's used to inquire about a singular, non-human object or concept. Think of it as a direct translation of "What is?" when asking about the identity of something.
A common mistake for English speakers is trying to translate "what is" word-for-word and putting 'is' as a separate word. In Persian, چیست already includes the 'is' part. For example, you wouldn't say "این چه است؟" (een cheh ast?) for "What is this?"; you would use این چیست؟ (een cheest?). Another mistake is using it for people; کیست؟ (keest?) is used for "Who is?" and چیست؟ is exclusively for things.
小贴士
Basic use of چیست
چیست is the most common way to ask 'What is?' in Persian. You'll hear it all the time.
چیست for singular things
Use چیست when you are asking about a single thing. For example, 'این چیست؟' (What is this?).
Placement in a sentence
چیست usually comes at the end of a question. It's often preceded by the thing you're asking about.
Contraction in spoken Persian
In spoken Persian, چیست often contracts to 'چیه' (chi-ye). You'll hear this more frequently in everyday conversation.
Don't confuse with 'کجاست'
چیست means 'What is?', not 'Where is?'. For 'Where is?', you would use 'کجاست' (ko-jast).
Responding to چیست questions
When someone asks 'چیست؟', you usually respond with the item and the verb 'است' (ast), meaning 'is'. For example, 'این کتاب است' (This is a book).
Not for 'who'
چیست is for asking about things or concepts, not people. To ask 'Who is?', you would use 'کیست' (ki-st).
Practice with common objects
Practice asking 'این چیست؟' (What is this?) about everyday objects around you. It helps build fluency.
Formal vs. informal use
While 'چیست' is grammatically correct and understood, 'چیه' is much more common in informal, daily speech. Both are important to know.
Use with abstract concepts
You can also use چیست to ask about abstract concepts. For example, 'عشق چیست؟' (What is love?).

常见问题
10 个问题'Chi' means 'what' on its own, like asking 'What?' directly. 'Chist' is a combined form of 'chi' and 'ast' (is), so it literally means 'what is?'. You use 'chist' when you want to ask 'What is X?'
No, you generally don't use 'chist' to ask 'Who is this person?'. For people, you'd typically use 'ki ast?' (who is?). 'Chist' is for things.
'Chist' is a standard and neutral way to ask 'what is?'. It's neither particularly formal nor informal, and you can use it in most situations.
You simply put the thing you're asking about before 'chist'. For example, 'این چیست؟' (In chist?) means 'What is this?' or 'نام تو چیست؟' (Nâm-e to chist?) means 'What is your name?'
Yes, absolutely! It's perfect for that. For instance, 'معنی این کلمه چیست؟' (Ma'ni-ye in kalame chist?) means 'What is the meaning of this word?'
The past tense would be 'che bood?' (What was?). 'Chist' is present tense.
Usually, yes. In a standard question structure, 'chist' will come at the end of the sentence.
Yes, 'این چیست؟' (In chist? - What is this?) and 'آن چیست؟' (Ân chist? - What is that?) are very common and useful introductory phrases.
While 'chi' means 'what', 'chist' is already a contracted form of 'chi ast'. You wouldn't further contract it. If you just say 'chi?', it's like saying 'What?' on its own.
You answer by stating what it is. For example, if someone asks 'این چیست؟' (In chist? - What is this?), you could say 'این کتاب است.' (In ketâb ast. - This is a book.)
