Car Parts Vocabulary in English and Farsi: A–Z Persian Guide

Car parts vocabulary is useful for drivers, travellers, Farsi learners and anyone who needs to describe a vehicle problem clearly. If you speak English but need to explain a car issue to a Persian-speaking mechanic, or if you are learning Persian and want practical everyday words, this guide gives you the most important car parts in English and Farsi.

Instead of learning a random list of technical terms, it is better to group vocabulary by real situations: outside the car, inside the car, engine parts, tyres, brakes, lights, dashboard warnings and repair phrases. This makes the words easier to remember and easier to use in conversation.

Below you will find car parts names in English, Persian/Farsi translations, pronunciation, simple meanings and example phrases you can use when speaking about car problems.

This page is for practical Persian vocabulary. For more beginner words, visit Common Farsi Words. For pronunciation support, use the Farsi Pronunciation Guide. For speaking practice, explore Conversational Farsi Classes.
