Farsi Lesson # 3

Hopefully you’ve learned lessons 1 and 2 words by now… Here are some new words and sentences:

English Farsi Translation Farsi Pronunciation
Friend Doost ‘Doost

Lesson Two

Hopefuly you have practiced lesson one. Following are new words.

Also, for the Farsi Pronunciation the stress in each word is on the section that has the -’- on it.

English Farsi Translation Farsi Pronunciation
Iran Iran ‘Ee-run
Good Morning Sobh Be kheir ‘Sobh ‘Be ‘Kheir
Good Night Shab Be Kheir ‘Shab ‘Be ‘Kheir
Good Afternoon Asr Be Kheir ‘Asr ‘Be ‘Kheir

The pronunciation of Iran. It is not “I-Ran”. It is pronunced “Ee-run”.

As you can guess from above “Good” in “Good Morning” translates into “Be Kheir” and Morning, Night, and Afternoon translate to “Sobh”, “Shab”, “Asr”.

Questions are welcomed.


Lesson One

I will start off by listing some popular wordsin lesson one. Try using these in your everyday life. When you talk to your Iranian friends, ask them “chetori” instead of “how are you” or answer “merci” instead of thanks. You’ll alot learn faster than you think.

I will add more words later. Let me know if you have any comments/suggestions.
