While the verb for the action of cutting is بریدن, the form برش functions as a noun referring to the cut itself or the act of cutting.

The pronunciation is /bu.ˈriʃ/. The second of two syllables is stressed.

In Persian, the act of cutting a relationship or ending a friendship is often described using the verb بریدن as if the social bond were a physical string.
