This application is an online conjugator for Persian verbs. To get your verb conjugated, enter its infinitive form into the text box and then, either press the Conjugate button or the Enter key on your keyboard. You can use the program's keyboard to enter verbs. Click on Keyboard tab to make it visible. There are also additional keys for frequent endings.
NOTE All parts of a compound verb must be typed separately e.g. bar dâshtan (بر داشتن), dust dâshtan (دوست داشتن), dast bar dâshtan (دست بر داشتن)
Tense names
Each language has its own system for naming tenses. For example, the tense of «I have gone» is called «present perfect» in English, «past perfect» in Spanish, «compound past» in French and «narrative past» in Persian. Moreover, not all the tenses of a language necessarily have an equivalent in another language. For example, English does not have the tense of «rafte bude» and there's no way to name it following English tense terminology: «past perfect perfect» has no meaning. That's why the best approach is to introduce the tenses of a foreign language with their original name, from the beginning. I've also adopted it both here and in my articles about verb conjugation in Persian. In your books, you may see a set of names close to what is used in your native language but please note that not all the tenses are discussed there. When it comes to talking about all Persian tenses, the only possible way is to introduce them with their Persian name.

Notes
1. If you can't type the following characters directly, you can type the associated alternative.
| character | alternative | example |
|---|---|---|
| â | aa | aamadan |
| ` | ' | bal'idan |
2. The khwâ (خوا) of Perso-Arabic is maintained in Perso-Latin. Among other reasons, it keeps the homophone verbs خواستن (to want) and خاستن (to rise) distinguishable. Therefore, خواستن must be entered as khwâstan and خاستن as khâstan. Other verbs having khwâ: khwâbidan (خوابیدن), khwândan (خواندن).
