راه‌اندازی
rah-andazi
The English verb "launch" can be translated into Persian as راه‌اندازی (rah-andazi).
راه‌اندازی is used when you want to express the idea of sending something out, starting a career, setting something in motion or putting an operation into effect. If you are specifically referring to the physical act of launching projectiles or rockets, you should instead use پرتاب کردن.
Meaning: send out, start on a career, set going, give a start to, put in operation (verb)
What does it mean word for word?
The word راه‌اندازی is a compound noun. It is formed from rah, meaning "road" or "way" and andazi, which refers to the act of throwing or casting. Literally, it means "the throwing of a way" or "setting a path in motion".
How does it change in a sentence?
In a sentence, راه‌اندازی acts as a noun. To use it as a verb meaning "to launch", you typically add the auxiliary verb کردن (to do) to create the verbal phrase راه‌اندازی کردن.

- Using پرتاب کردن to describe the launch of a business would sound strangely violent to a Persian speaker because it implies a physical projectile.
- The root of اندازی is the verb انداختن, which is used both for 'throwing' an object and for 'dropping' or 'leaving' something behind.
- The verb کردن is so versatile that it can be attached to almost any noun to turn it into a functional action, as seen in راه‌اندازی کردن.
