Persian (Farsi) term

چمنزار

Non-PRO Persian (Farsi) to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Autobiography - جرأت کردم او را پدر بخوانم
Greetings,

I think my problem is that I had confused چمنزار with چمن. While چمن is, I believe, a lawn often inside a property, چمنزار is perhaps too big for that.

The sentence is the same:
در مقابل چمنزار روبه‌روی خانه‌ام، جاده‌ای وجود داشت که به محل استقرار قشر خدمتکاران منتهی می‌شد.

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

Discussion

Mahmoud Akbari Jan 23, 2012:
چمن چمن is the grass itself while چمنزار refers to a big area covered in grass that is pasture. چمن is also used to refer to the area covered in grass but in informal usage. To have a better idea, check the images of "grass" and "pasture" and you will see the difference.
Ahmad Kabiri Jan 23, 2012:
has nothing to do with its size Grass is called چمن, but چمنزار is an area of grass.
SeiTT (asker) Jan 23, 2012:
چمن versus چمنزار Many thanks - what can say about the difference between چمن and چمنزار? Can we at least say that the latter is usually bigger than the former?

lawn

I think "lawn" is usually used to refer to an area of grass in front of a house.
Peer comment(s):

disagree modestproud : I think it refers to the grass in the yard and it is limited to it.

Thanks! But چمنزار in that case also refers to the grass area in a yard; so what's the problem with using a word which specifically refers to a certain concept?! I see not only no problem in it, but also a virtue!
