Expressing Opposition: بر خلاف
When discussing unconventional ideas, breaking stereotypes, or taking risks, use the compound preposition بر خلاف to state that an action or situation is "unlike" or "contrary to" the norm. It connects to the following noun with an Ezafe (-e).
| Unlike the aforementioned stereotype, he is a very risk-taking manager. | بر خلاف کلیشهی مذکور، او مدیر بسیار ریسکپذیری است.bar khelâf-e kelishe-ye mazkur, u modir-e besyâr risk-paziri ast. |
| Unlike old traditions, unconventional projects are accepted boldly. | بر خلاف سنتهای قدیمی، پروژههای غیرعادی جسورانه پذیرفته میشوند.bar kholâf-e sonnat-hâye qadimi, porozheh-hâye gheyre âdi jasurâneh pazirofte mishavand. |
In Conflict With: مغایر با
Another formal way to express opposition is مغایر با, meaning "contrary to" or "inconsistent with." Instead of an Ezafe, it connects to the following noun using the preposition با (with).
| Contrary to conventional routine, the manager makes this unusual decision. | مغایر با روال مرسوم، مدیر این تصمیم غیرعادی را میگیرد.moghâyer bâ ravâl-e marsum, modir in tasmim-e gheyr-âdi râ migirad. |
| Contrary to society's preconception, this stereotype is completely wrong. | مغایر با پیشداوری جامعه، این کلیشه کاملاً غلط است.moghâyer bâ pish-dâvari jâme'e, in kelishe kâmelan ghalat ast. |
Flexible Placement
These prepositional phrases are flexible. They frequently appear at the beginning of a sentence to establish contrast immediately, but they can also act as a descriptive aside or the main predicate.
| Unconventional ideas, unlike conventional methods, are successful. | ایدههای غیرعادی، بر خلاف روشهای مرسوم، موفق هستند.ide-hâye gheyr-e âdi, bar khalâf-e ravesh-hâye marsum, movaffagh hastand. |
| It has been years that her actions are contrary to common preconceptions. | سالهاست که اقدامات او مغایر با پیشداوریهای رایج است.sâl-hâ-st ke eqdâmât-e u moghâyer bâ pish-dâvari-hâ-ye râyej ast |
