نقره
نقره 30秒了解
- Noghreh means silver, a precious metal used for jewelry and coins.
- It is also used to describe the shiny, metallic gray color.
- In competitions, it represents the second-place silver medal.
- It is a key material in traditional Iranian handicrafts and arts.
The word نقره (pronounced 'noghreh') is a fundamental Persian noun that primarily refers to the chemical element silver, a precious, shiny, white metallic element known for its high thermal and electrical conductivity. Beyond its scientific definition, نقره carries significant cultural, economic, and aesthetic weight in the Persian-speaking world. In everyday life, you will encounter this word most frequently when discussing jewelry, household items, or sports achievements. Historically, silver has played a pivotal role in the Iranian economy and art, from the intricate Sassanid silver plates to the modern-day silver markets in cities like Isfahan and Tabriz. When an English speaker thinks of 'silver,' they might think of cutlery or a second-place medal; a Persian speaker shares these associations but adds a layer of traditional craftsmanship known as 'Noghreh-kāri' (silverwork). This word is not just a label for a metal; it is a bridge to understanding Persian aesthetics where the cool, lunar glow of silver is often contrasted with the solar brilliance of gold (طلا - talā).
- Material Composition
- In a literal sense, نقره refers to the physical metal used to create coins, jewelry, and industrial components. It is valued for its purity and luster.
- Color and Aesthetics
- Adjectivally, it describes the color silver-gray. It is used to describe hair (moo-ye noghreh-i) or the shimmering surface of water under moonlight.
- Symbol of Rank
- In competitions, a silver medal (medāl-e noghreh) signifies second place, representing excellence just below the pinnacle of gold.
این انگشتر از نقره خالص ساخته شده است.

او در مسابقات شنا به مدال نقره دست یافت.

Using نقره in a sentence follows standard Persian grammar rules for nouns. As a noun, it can function as the subject, object, or part of a prepositional phrase. When you want to use it as an adjective to describe something as 'silver' (the color), you typically add the suffix 'ی' (i) to form نقرهای (noghreh-i). However, when describing something made of silver, the word نقره is often used in an Ezafe construction. For example, 'a silver ring' is انگشترِ نقره (angoshtar-e noghreh). This distinction is crucial for learners: نقره is the substance, while نقرهای is the visual property. In more complex sentences, نقره can be part of compound verbs or idiomatic expressions. For instance, 'to plate with silver' is نقرهکوب کردن. Because silver is a mass noun when referring to the metal, it is usually singular. However, if you are referring to different types or pieces of silver items, you might see the plural نقرهها. In poetic contexts, 'نقره' is often paired with 'طلا' to create a sense of wealth and balance. Understanding the placement of the Ezafe (the short 'e' sound connecting the noun and its material) is the most important step for an A1-A2 learner to master this word's usage in daily speech.
- The Ezafe Construction
- When silver is the material of an object, use [Noun] + -e + noghreh. Example: گردنبندِ نقره (Silver necklace).
- Adjectival Form
- To describe color, use noghreh-i. Example: ماشینِ نقرهای (Silver car).
- Prepositional Use
- Using 'az' (from/of) to denote material. Example: این از نقره است (This is [made] of silver).
او یک ساعت نقره به من هدیه داد.
دیوارهای اتاق را نقرهای رنگ کردیم.
آیا این نقره اصل است؟
او با نقره و طلا کار میکند.
درخشش نقره در تاریکی زیباست.
You will hear نقره in a variety of real-world settings in Iran and other Persian-speaking regions. The most common location is the 'Bazaar-e Zargar-hā' (Goldsmiths' Bazaar), where silver jewelry is sold alongside gold. Shopkeepers will use the word to describe their wares, discuss prices per gram, and verify the authenticity of the metal. Another frequent context is sports and competition. When watching the news or sports channels like 'Varzesh', commentators will announce that an athlete has won a 'medāl-e noghreh' (silver medal). In the realm of home decor and traditional weddings, silver is a staple. During a Persian wedding (Aghd), the 'Sofreh-ye Aghd' often features a mirror and candlesticks (āyeneh va shamdān) made of silver, symbolizing light and purity. You might also hear the word in the kitchen or at formal dinner parties when referring to 'zorouf-e noghreh' (silverware), which are often family heirlooms brought out for special occasions. In the world of finance, 'gheymat-e noghreh' (the price of silver) is a common phrase in economic reports. Finally, in literature and music, silver is used metaphorically to describe the moon (māh-e noghre-fām) or a clear, ringing voice. By paying attention to these contexts, you can see how نقره spans from the purely functional and economic to the deeply ceremonial and artistic.

- 'این سرویس نقره چند است؟' (How much is this silver set?) - A standard question in jewelry shops.
- Sports News
- 'ایران مدال نقره گرفت.' (Iran took the silver medal.) - Common in news headlines.

One of the most common mistakes learners make with نقره is confusing the noun (the metal) with the adjective (the color). While in English 'silver' serves as both, in Persian, they are distinct: نقره is silver, and نقرهای is silvery. Saying 'ماشینِ نقره' (māshin-e noghreh) would imply the car is physically made of silver metal, which is impossible; the correct form is 'ماشینِ نقرهای' (māshin-e noghreh-i). Another frequent error involves pronunciation. The 'gh' sound (ق) is a voiced uvular fricative, similar to the French 'r' or a light gargle. English speakers often pronounce it as a hard 'g' or 'k', which can make the word sound like 'nokreh' or 'nogreh'. To sound more native, focus on the deep throat sound of the 'gh'. Additionally, learners sometimes confuse نقره with سیم (sim). While سیم is a valid Persian word for silver (especially in literature), in modern daily speech, سیم almost exclusively means 'wire' or 'string' (like a guitar string). If you ask for a 'sim' ring in a shop, the jeweler might be confused. Lastly, ensure you don't confuse نقره with خاکستری (khākestari - gray). Silver is metallic and shiny; gray is a flat color. Using them interchangeably can lead to unnatural-sounding descriptions of objects or hair.
- Noun vs. Adjective
- Mistake: ساعتِ نقرهای (Silver-colored watch) when you mean a watch made of silver metal (ساعتِ نقره).
- Pronunciation of 'Gh'
- Avoid the hard 'G'. It's a soft, vibrating sound in the back of the throat.
- Confusing with 'Sim'
- Use 'noghreh' for the metal and 'sim' for wires or in poetic contexts.
اشتباه: موهای او نقره است. (His hair is silver [metal]).
اشتباه: من یک سیم خریدم. (I bought a wire - when meaning a silver item).
اشتباه: مدال نقرهای. (A silver-colored medal - might not be real silver).
اشتباه: آسمان نقره است. (The sky is silver [metal]).
تلفظ غلط: نوکره (Nokreh).
While نقره is the standard term for silver, Persian offers several synonyms and related terms that provide more nuance depending on the context. The most prominent alternative is سیم (sim), a word of pure Persian (Pahlavi) origin. In modern Persian, سیم is primarily used for 'wire' or 'cable', but in classical poetry and high-register literature, it is a beautiful synonym for silver. You will see it in names like سیمین (Simin), meaning 'silvery' or 'made of silver'. Another related term is ورشو (Varsho), which refers to nickel silver or German silver—an alloy that looks like silver but contains no actual silver. This is a common word in the context of antique samovars and trays. For scientific or formal contexts, the Arabic loanword فضه (Fezzeh) is occasionally used, though it is rare in daily life and mostly found in religious or archaic texts. If you are discussing colors, خاکستری روشن (light gray) or سربی (lead-colored) might be used as alternatives to describe metallic shades. Understanding these alternatives allows a learner to navigate different registers of the language, from the technical specifications of a laboratory to the lyrical verses of Hafez or Saadi.
- نقره vs. سیم
- نقره is the everyday word for the metal. سیم is poetic for silver but common for 'wire' in modern speech.
- نقره vs. ورشو
- نقره is the precious element Ag. ورشو is a cheaper alloy used in traditional metalwork.
- نقرهای vs. خاکستری
- نقرهای has a metallic luster. خاکستری is a flat, matte gray color.
او نام دخترش را سیمین گذاشت.
این سینی از جنس ورشو است، نه نقره.
در شیمی، نقره را با نماد Ag نشان میدهند.

Summary
The word 'نقره' (noghreh) is the essential Persian term for silver. Whether you are buying jewelry in a bazaar, watching the Olympics, or describing a shiny car, this word is your primary tool. Example: 'این انگشتر نقره است' (This ring is silver).
- Noghreh means silver, a precious metal used for jewelry and coins.
- It is also used to describe the shiny, metallic gray color.
- In competitions, it represents the second-place silver medal.
- It is a key material in traditional Iranian handicrafts and arts.
The Silent H
The 'h' at the end of 'نقره' is a 'he-ye jami'. It makes an 'e' sound. Don't pronounce it like a breathy English 'h'.
Men and Silver
In Iran, most men wear silver wedding bands or rings instead of gold for religious reasons. It's a very common gift for men.
Check the Stamp
When buying silver in a bazaar, look for the '925' stamp to ensure it's sterling silver. Ask 'Ayar-esh chande?' (What's its purity?).
Color vs Material
Remember: 'Māshin-e noghreh' is a metal car; 'Māshin-e noghreh-i' is a silver-colored car. The 'i' is vital!
