i have another question abot the word بلا

this is word i have heard a lot and i didnt think it was so negative but when i looked it up it was very negative, it means: disaster, misfortune, misery

i always had the feel that it described something negative but in a somewhat positive way, like bacheye balaa which is a kid that is a bit problematic but still loveable.

can someone please bring clarity to me? this is balaa

BOEING

Both are true

When it say's Gonbade Kabood , It mean's a Dark capola, so the darkness can be Gray or Dark blue...

nimamc

مهربون Doesnt mean loyal! مهربون means: Nice!

Gonbad(گنبد) literally means "cupola", but in this sentence (گنبد کبود) TOGETHER means: the sky!

the translation of this sentence would be: "Under the sky no one was as nice to me as you were"


EDIT: GONBADE KABOOD means THE SKY Sorry!

I am a bit confused now,

You mean that Kabood by itself means livid, gray and that Gonbade Kabood it a way of speech for dark cupola?

If I have a dark blue car, can I say: Mashine Kabood?
if it is gray or livid, can I say the same thing?

If it is dark outside, can I say: Biroon Kaboode?

I understand that the word probably is a bit poetic but I just want to understand how to use it. Thanks for your help.

I edited my first reply, I made a mistake, sorry

"zire in gonbade kabood" in poem, poet is trying to say "under this blue sky"

certain phrases have different meaning from that of their each word meaning

eg: usually Iranian fairy tales start with this phrase,"yeki bood yeki nabood" "one was there, one was not there" which has no proper meaning in reality

so this phrases you cant find the meaning using dictionary any help, one post away

yes of course, if gonbad means cupola and kabood means blue or livid or dark, it is very clear that gonbade cabood means the sky.

But I am confused what Kabood means, is it dark, or blue, or livid, or gray, or dark blue. In dictinaries I have found:
dark blue
gray
livid
so are all these correct depending on situation?

thanks for your help! Very nice of you!

one example in a sentence would be very helpful

nimamc

in this situation it's dark blue! because it's the color of the sky.

yes kabood means dark blue, livid...

when you hit someone hardly, his skin turns dark blue/purple, in farsi thats called kabood.

or the jewelery Sapphire in farsi means "Yaghoot Kabood"

so depending on the sentence all these words can make sense

use this online dictionary, it can help you
