The present research is a semantic review which has been conducted with the aim of semantically reviewing Persiansimple verbs and their corresponding compound ones in order to find out which of the synonymies which form the foundation of this research, namely, propositional, descriptive and partial, exist between these verbs. In this review, the author’s treatment of simple and compound verbs is explained, and, afterwards, different types of correspondence between simple and compound verbs is introduced. After a brief discussion about synonymy and its three types, the author will attempt to define, by reasoning and using examples, which of the three types of synonymy exist between Persiansimple and compound verbs. In order to achieve this aim, simple verbs with compound correspondents, which comprise the main body of the review, are chosen from the eight-volume Sokhan Dictionary. By reviewing these verbs, all of which have been provided in the appendix, it has been determined that partial synonymy cannot be found between the above-mentioned verbs but propositional and descriptive synonymy exists between them. The results of the present research can be beneficial for optimized instruction regarding semantics and teaching Persianto non- Persianspeakers.
