When we talk about something having very little water, like a dry river or a desert, we use the word کم آب (kam âb).
It’s like saying "low water" or "scarce in water."
For example, if a plant doesn't get enough water, you could say it's کم آب.
Or, if a region rarely gets rain, it is also کم آب.
When something is کم آب (kam âb), it means it has very little water. Think about a dry season when a river might become کم آب. Or maybe a fruit that isn't very juicy could be described as کم آب.
It's like saying 'low water' or 'scarce in water'. So, if you hear someone say a well is کم آب, they mean there isn't much water in it.
When discussing the amount of water something has, especially in relation to agriculture, geography, or even a medical context like dehydration, کم آب is a key term. It literally means 'low water' or 'scarce water' and is used to describe places, conditions, or even objects that lack a sufficient amount of water.
For example, you might hear it used to describe a desert region, 'منطقه ای کم آب' (a region with scarce water), or to talk about a plant that needs less water, 'گیاه کم آب' (a low-water plant). It's a practical and common adjective to express a deficiency of water.

§ Understanding 'کم آب'
When you're learning Persian, some words can be a bit tricky because their direct translation might not capture the full meaning or common usage. 'کم آب' (kam âb) is one of those words. Literally, it means 'little water' (کم = little, آب = water). It's an adjective used to describe something that has scarce water or is dry. This word is at a B1 level, so it's good to get comfortable with it early on.
- DEFINITION
- Having little water; scarce in water.
§ Mistake 1: Confusing with 'تشنه' (tashne) - Thirsty
One of the most common mistakes is using 'کم آب' when you actually mean 'thirsty.' While both relate to water, 'کم آب' describes an object or place that lacks water, not a living being experiencing thirst.
- Incorrect: من کم آب هستم. (Man kam âb hastam.)
(Literally: I am little water/dry, trying to say 'I am thirsty.') - Correct: من تشنه هستم. (Man tashne hastam.)
(I am thirsty.)
این چاه کم آب است. (In châh kam âb ast.)
(This well is low on water.)
§ Mistake 2: Using for 'dehydrated' body
While a dehydrated person has little water in their body, 'کم آب' is not the natural Persian word to describe someone who is dehydrated in a medical or physiological sense. For a person, you would typically use phrases that describe thirst or a lack of fluids, or more clinical terms if necessary.
- Incorrect: او به دلیل ورزش زیاد کم آب شد. (U be dalil-e varzesh-e ziyâd kam âb shod.)
(He became little water/dry due to too much exercise, trying to say 'He became dehydrated.') - Correct: او به دلیل ورزش زیاد بدنش آب از دست داد. (U be dalil-e varzesh-e ziyâd badanesh âb az dast dâd.)
(He lost water from his body due to too much exercise.) - More Natural (and still correct for thirst): او به دلیل ورزش زیاد خیلی تشنه شد. (U be dalil-e varzesh-e ziyâd kheyli tashne shod.)
(He became very thirsty due to too much exercise.)
خاک این منطقه کم آب است. (Khâk-e in mantaqe kam âb ast.)
(The soil of this region is dry/has little water.)
§ Mistake 3: Overusing 'کم آب' when other words fit better
Sometimes, 'کم آب' might seem fitting, but another word would be more precise. For example, if you're talking about a river that has completely dried up, 'خشک' (khoshk - dry) might be a better choice than just 'کم آب'. 'کم آب' implies there's *some* water, just not much, while 'خشک' implies a total absence.
- Less precise: این رودخانه کم آب شده است. (In rudkhâneh kam âb shode ast.)
(This river has become low on water.) - This is correct if there's still a trickle. - More precise if totally dry: این رودخانه خشک شده است. (In rudkhâneh khoshk shode ast.)
(This river has dried up.)
به دلیل خشکسالی، این باغ کم آب شد. (Be dalil-e khoshksâli, in bâgh kam âb shod.)
(Due to drought, this garden became low on water.)
§ When to use 'کم آب' correctly
'کم آب' is perfect for describing things like wells, rivers, lakes, lands, or even fruits and vegetables that lack their usual water content.
- Describing a well with low water: این چاه کم آب است. (In châh kam âb ast.)
- Describing soil that is dry: زمین کم آب است. (Zamin kam âb ast.)
- Describing a fruit that isn't juicy: این میوه کم آب است. (In mive kam âb ast.)
در تابستان، بعضی از میوه ها کم آب می شوند. (Dar tâbestân, ba'zi az mive-hâ kam âb mi-shavand.)
(In summer, some fruits become less juicy/low on water.)
By focusing on these distinctions and practicing with correct examples, you'll master 'کم آب' in no time. Keep practicing and pay attention to context!
این چاه کم آب است.
(This well is low on water / dry.)
زمین کشاورزی به دلیل خشکسالی کم آب شده است.
(The farmland has become water-scarce due to the drought.)
او بعد از دویدن زیاد کم آب شده بود.
(He was dehydrated after running a lot.)
-
خشک (khoshk) - Dry (general) خشک is a more general term for 'dry'. You can use it for anything that is dry, not necessarily just due to a lack of water. For example, a dry cloth, dry bread, dry weather, or even dry humor! این لباس خشک است.
(This cloth is dry.)هوای امروز خیلی خشک است.
(Today's weather is very dry.)💡 While a کم آب well is also خشک, using کم آب specifically highlights the *lack of water* as the cause of its dryness. -
تشنه (teshne) - Thirsty تشنه refers to being thirsty, a feeling. While a thirsty person might be کم آب (dehydrated), the words describe different things: one is a state of being, the other is a physiological condition. من خیلی تشنه هستم.
(I am very thirsty.)💡 You wouldn't say a well is تشنه; you'd say it's کم آب. Similarly, you wouldn't say 'I am کم آب' if you simply mean you need a drink, but rather 'I am تشنه'. However, if you're talking about the medical condition of being dehydrated, then کم آب is appropriate. -
بیآب (bi-âb) - Waterless, without water بیآب means 'without water' or 'waterless'. It implies a complete absence of water, or at least a severe lack. It's often stronger than کم آب. کویر بیآب و علف است.
(The desert is waterless and without vegetation.)💡 Use بیآب when you want to emphasize a more absolute lack of water. کم آب suggests there's *some* water, just not much.
- Use کم آب (kam âb) when something specifically has *little water* or is *water-scarce*, including dehydration in living things.
- Use خشک (khoshk) for general dryness.
- Use تشنه (teshne) to express being thirsty.
- Use بیآب (bi-âb) for a strong sense of being *waterless*.

常见问题
10 个问题The Persian word for 'scarce in water' is کم آب (kam āb). It literally means 'low water' or 'little water'.
کم آب is an adjective. You use it to describe something that has little water.
Not directly. While a dehydrated person has little water, کم آب is typically used for things like land, a well, or a river. For a person, you might say 'بدنشان آب کم دارد' (badan-eshān āb kam dārad - their body has little water) or 'دهیدراته شدهاند' (dehydrāte shodeh-and - they are dehydrated).
You could say: این زمین کم آب است. (īn zamīn kam āb ast.) This land is scarce in water. (This land is low water.)
Yes, it can! For example, این پرتقال کم آب است. (īn porteghāl kam āb ast.) This orange is not juicy. (This orange is low water.)
Yes, the word for thirsty is تشنه (tashne). While related to water, it's about the feeling of needing water, not the state of having little water.
It's pronounced kam āb. 'Kam' sounds like 'calm' without the 'l', and 'āb' sounds like 'aab' in 'baa' with a long 'a' sound.
The direct opposite isn't a single word in the same compound structure. You might say 'پر آب' (por āb - full of water) or 'آب فراوان' (āb farāvān - abundant water) depending on the context.
کم آب is considered a B1 level vocabulary word in the CEFR framework. This means it's an intermediate word you should definitely know.
Absolutely! این رودخانه کم آب شده است. (īn rūdxāne kam āb shode ast.) This river has become scarce in water. (This river has become low water.)
