B1 — Intermediate
What it means
نازم نمیاد (nâzam nemiyâd) literally means “my nâz does not come.” It means “I am not in the mood to play coy,” “I do not feel like flirting or playing games,” or simply “I am not feeling it.” It builds on ناز (playful, charming reluctance) plus the common pattern X-am nemiyâd (“my X does not come”), like خوشم نمیاد.
How to use it
- نازم نمیاد امشب، خستهام (nâzam nemiyâd emshab, khaste-am) “I am not in the mood tonight, I am tired.”
- نازم نمیاد، راست بگو چی میخوای (nâzam nemiyâd, râst begu chi mikhâi) “I am not up for games, just tell me what you want.”
- related: ناز کردن (nâz kardan) “to act coy.”
Cultural note
A transparent colloquial idiom rather than a fixed slang term. It negates the Persian social game of ناز (charming reluctance).
