Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: بيزار bi:za:r

Greetings,

Incidentally, I use the sign : to indicate a long vowel without annoying the Encoding gremlins!

My question: what is the best translation for بيزار bi:za:r, and what is it made up of? Bi: is presumably “without”, but what about the “za:r”?

I seem to remember an indication that it might do for “fed up” (“with” being rendered by “az”), but I'm really not sure.

All the best,

Simon

tired of, weary of, fed up with

Explanation:
Aryanpur's dictionary gives several more meanings. These are probably the best. Za:r itself means "wailing" "loud crying". I am not sure of the connection between "biza:r" and "za:r". Maybe it means that the person has reached the point of not having any za:r left.

Yes you are right about using "az". For example, you could say "Az negh zadanet bizaram" "I am fed up with your nagging."
