ایستادن

Persian

Etymology

From Middle Persian [script needed] (istātan), from Old Persian, from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂- (to stand).

Pronunciation

  • (Dari): IPA(key): /iːstɒːdan/

Verb

Dari ایستادن
Iranian Persian
Tajik истодан (istodan)

ایستادن (istâdan), present stem ایست (ist)

  1. to stand up
    Antonym: نشستن (nešastan, to sit down)
    من ایستاده‌ام.man istâde-'am.I'm standing. (literally, “I've stood up.”)
  2. to stop
  3. to stay, to remain

Usage notes

  • ایستادن (istâdan) refers to the action of standing up, not the state of standing. Hence the Persian equivalent for English "to stand" is the perfect conjugation of ایستادن (istâdan), i.e. "to have stood up". The same is true of نشستن (nešastan, to sit down).
