Persian verb conjugator (PVC) is an online conjugator program, which is able to conjugate any Persian verb:
To get your verb conjugated, enter its infinitive form into the text box and then either hit Conjugate button or the Enter key on your keyboard.
NOTE: All parts of a non-simple verb (whether compound or prefixal) must be typed separately e.g. bar dâshtan {بر داشتن}, dust dâshtan {دوست داشتن}, dast bar dâshtan {دست بر داشتن}
IMPORTANT NOTE: PVC is a web application and like desktop applications, information is updated within the same window. Therefore, clicking on the back button of your browser won't take you to previous conjugation(s).
To learn about the tense terminology used in PVC (as well as verb conjugation in Persian), please read my collection about verb conjugation.
You can input verbs either in their native script (Perso-Arabic) or the following Latin-based script, which is very close to the non-standard Latin alphabet used by native speakers (we'll call it "Perso-Latin"):
| Letter | IPA | as in | Letter | IPA | as in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A a | æ | ant | L l | l | leg |
| Â â | ɒː | hot | M m | m | meal |
| B b | b | book | N n | n | no |
| Ch ch | tʃ | chain | O o | o | forty |
| D d | d | door | Ow ow | oʊ | U.S. English show |
| E e | e | egg | P p | p | pen |
| F f | f | fall | R r | ɾ | rug (but thrilled like Spanish & Italian) |
| G g | g | game | S s | s | sad |
| Gh gh | ɣ | similar to r in French écrire | Sh sh | ʃ | shoe |
| H h | h | hat | T t | t | tea |
| I i | iː | eagle | U u | uː | rule |
| J j | dʒ | job | V v | v | van |
| Jh jh | ʒ | s in pleasure | W w | Only used in making ow and khw | |
| K k | k | key | Y y | j | yes, they |
| Kh kh | x | ch in German Buch, Scottish loch | ø | ʔ | glottal stop |
| Khw khw | x | just like kh |
If you can't type non-English characters directly, type aa for â (e.g. daadan) and an apostrophe for ø (e.g. ma'ni daadan). The program will convert them to their correct form.
Additionally, the khw of Perso-Arabic is maintained in Perso-Latin. Among other things, it keeps homophone verbs خواستن (to want) and خاستن (to rise) distinguishable. Therefore, you must write the first as khwaastan and the latter as khaastan. Also, khwâbidan (خوابیدن) and khwândan (خواندن).
To input verbs, you can use the program's keyboard (especially helpful for Perso-Arabic). Click on Keyboard button to make it visible. There are also additional keys for frequent characters in which Persian verbs end so that you can input verbs faster.
To help you recognize different conjugational elements easier, they are marked in different colors. However, regarding Perso-Arabic script, this feature is only available for Internet Explorer and Firefox 3. Firefox 2 and Opera can't render colorized Persian texts correctly. Legend:
