Production and profession suffix (-sâz)

In Farsi, you can create nouns for producers, manufacturers, and artisans by attaching the suffix ساز to a noun.

Derived from the present stem of the verb ساختن (to make or build), the suffix ساز translates directly to "-maker" or "manufacturer."

Industrial Manufacturing

In industrial contexts, ساز is often combined with machines, vehicles, and parts. You will also frequently use terms like صنعت (industry) and تولید انبوه (mass production).

Other common industrial manufacturers include قطعه‌ساز (parts manufacturer) and ابزارساز (toolmaker).

Professions and Crafts

Beyond factories, ساز is used for traditional craftsmen and everyday professions:

  • دارو (medicine) + ساز = داروساز (pharmacist)
  • طلا (gold) + ساز = طلاساز (goldsmith)
  • ساعت (watch/clock) + ساز = ساعت‌ساز (watchmaker)
  • عطر (perfume) + ساز = عطرساز (perfumer)

The Factory Floor

You can describe advanced manufacturing setups using descriptors like مکانیزه (mechanized) alongside your new manufacturing vocabulary.
