firm, continued effort over time
The quality of not giving up, and continuing to try or work for a long time, even when it is hard.
الگوی کاربرد:
persistence in [verb+ing]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say *"persistence to do something"* instead of the more natural pattern *"persistence in doing something"*. For example, say *"her persistence in studying"*, not *"her persistence to study"*. Learners may also confuse *persistence* with *perseverance*; they are very close in meaning, but *persistence* is slightly more common in everyday speech.
هممعنیها
perseverance (Very close in meaning; slightly more formal and often used in positive, moral or inspirational contexts.)
|
determination (Emphasizes strong will and decision, not only repeated effort over time.)
|
tenacity (Suggests a strong, sometimes stubborn, unwillingness to let go or stop trying.)
متضادها
giving up (Directly contrasts with continuing effort; describes stopping when something is difficult.)
|
laziness (Opposes the idea of active, repeated effort; lack of willingness to work hard.)
|
discouragement (Describes losing confidence and desire to continue, the emotional opposite of persistence.)

state
2
continued presence or duration of something
The state of something staying or lasting for a long time, not stopping or going away.
الگوی کاربرد:
the persistence of [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may confuse this sense with personal effort. When talking about *persistence of symptoms/problems/etc.*, it is about how long they last, not about someone trying hard. Also, avoid saying *"the persistence is long"*; instead say *"the persistence of X is high/strong"* or *"X shows long persistence"*.
هممعنیها
continuation (General word for something going on; slightly less emphasis on lasting unexpectedly long.)
|
durability (Stresses being strong enough to last, often used for materials or products.)
|
longevity (Focuses on long duration or long life, especially of people, products, or systems.)
متضادها
disappearance (Opposite in that something stops existing or being seen instead of continuing.)
|
transience (Describes something that exists only for a short time, the opposite of lasting presence.)
|
short-livedness (Informal/derived term stressing that something does not persist for long.)

data remaining after program ends
In computer science, when data stays saved and can still be used after the program that made it is closed.
الگوی کاربرد:
data persistence in [system/application]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may mix this technical sense with general *persistence* meaning personal effort. In computing, *persistence* almost always refers to data or storage, not to people. It is also more natural to say *"data persistence"* or *"persistent storage"* than *"persistence of the data"* in technical writing.
هممعنیها
durability (Database term stressing that committed data will survive failures and remain stored.)
|
non-volatility (Hardware-focused term describing memory that keeps data without power.)
متضادها
volatility (Refers to memory or data that is lost when power is removed or a process ends.)
|
temporary storage (Describes storage that does not keep data beyond a short period or a session.)
