The Persian language (New Persian language, Farsi, زبان فارسی) is the leading language of the Iranian group of the Indo-European family of languages, which has a rich, centuries-old literary tradition, including recognized masterpieces of world literature. Modern Farsi is a pluricentric language (diasystem), split into three closely related variants, recognized as official as separate national languages ​​in three countries Asia: Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Of these, the Farsi of the Islamic Republic of Iran (“Western Farsi” or Farsi proper) is the most famous and influential.

The writing of the Farsi and Dari languages ​​is the Persian alphabet, created on the basis of the Arabic script, supplemented by several signs for sounds not found in the Arabic language.

  • Since the Farsi language is Aryan (Indo-European), pronunciation is not a fundamental barrier for Russian speakers. By and large, there are only two unfamiliar sounds: a quick “x” and a long “a”. You shouldn’t worry about “x” - the locals themselves don’t really distinguish between them in conversation, but “a long” (hereinafter “A”) is worth mastering - this is fundamental. It is something between the Russian “a” and “o”, and closer to “o”. You should position your lips as if you were saying “o”, and try to pronounce “a”. If it doesn’t work, just say a long “o”! Below I have marked “A” only where it stands out in articulation.
  • When compiling a phrasebook, I consider the simplicity of a phrase to be much more important than its correctness.
  • If in a phrasebook one Russian word (expression) corresponds to several Persian ones, it is recommended to use the first one on the list. The second and third are given so that you can understand them from the lips of locals.
  • Question intonation in Farsi is close to Russian
  • To enhance the effect of a word, doubling is widely used in Farsi. For example, if you want to get out while hitchhiking, but the driver does not understand how you can get out in the desert, shout “voice-voice,” which sounds like “stop!”
  • The accent in Farsi is always on the last sound!

Russian phrases here usually correspond to the order of words in translation, so they sound strange, but the meanings of individual words are clear.

12 UNTRALABLE PERSIAN PHRASES. Common expressions, phrases widely used by Iranians in everyday speech, often seem meaningless or even somewhat ridiculous when translated into other languages. From the point of view of the Persian language, such expressions contain a very important message, but when translated, they are deprived not only of their main essence, but also of any meaning at all. On top of that, Persian is a very emotional language and even dramatic, just like in Romeo and Juliet “I will die for you, die for me.” But along with drama, this language is also full of life-affirming light motives. To give true value to words or speech, Farsi resorts to the frequent use of anatomical names for body parts in everyday speech.

In the photo: Iranian-American Golbu Shariatmadar, who is fluent in English and Farsi, presents a list of the twelve most commonly used Persian expressions, which take on a completely different meaning when translated. 1) Ghorboonet beram = I will become your victim - قربانت بروم In the sentence: “Merci, ghorboonet beram!” = “I’m so grateful that I would die for you!” You can use this phrase in almost any circumstance. In Persian, this expression shows how dear a person is to you, how much you value him, how much he means to you, etc. It's so romantic when you love someone and they love you just as much and you're both willing to sacrifice a lot for each other. Or when you are incredibly grateful for the help, service, support provided to you, simply say this to your interlocutor to show how much you appreciate his action. From the perspective of the Persian language, this does not look like something unpleasant or even suicidal, however, when translated into other languages, this phrase takes on a more dramatic connotation. 2) Zahreh mar = snake venom - زهر مار In a sentence: with the exclamation: “zahreh mar!” = "Damn!" This phrase is the Persian equivalent of the curse word "damn!" Not a very friendly phrase, but you can use it as a curse when you are angry, everything falls out of hand and nothing works out. The phrase is translated as snake venom, “zahr” meaning poison and “mar” meaning snake.

3) Pedar sag = son of a dog - پدر سگ In a sentence: “Pedar sag, mageh nagoftam in karo nakoni?!” = “Son of a dog, didn’t I tell you not to do this?!” Son of a dog... what? This is an offensive phrase that is used to express anger, irritation or disapproval. It doesn't require much explanation, but when you hear it addressed to you, rest assured, you have serious problems! This phrase can also be used in speech as an expression of affection or endearment as a joke (it defies explanation, don't ask why). 4) Khodah margam bedeh = Lord, punish me - خدا مرگم بده In a sentence: “Chi! Khodah margam bedeh” When you hear something absurd, ridiculous, unimaginable, shocking, unexpected, then this phrase is just right to express your shock. Like “ghorboonet beram”, this phrase is quite dramatic, but can be regarded as the Persian equivalent of “kill me”. 5) Ba namak = With salt - با نمک In a sentence: “cheghad emrooz ba namaki” = “You are with a twist today” This phrase literally means “with a twist.” When you are told in Persian that you have “namak” (salt), it means that you are very nice, smart, attractive and “tasteful”. Persians believe that salt adds flavor to food, and the same can be said about humans.

6) Joon bekan = fight with all your might - جان بکن In a sentence: “Zood bash digeh, joon bekan!” = “Hurry up already!” And this is my favorite thing, I say this phrase all the time. This expression literally translates to “fight with all your might,” but is used when you want to force someone to hurry up. You can use this in different contexts. This may mean something like “come on already” or “move!” Imagine this: you are in a traffic jam, the car in front of you is moving so slowly, and then the traffic light changes to red - then you can exclaim “joon bekan!” to express your impatience or irritation. 7) Moosh bokhoradet = let the mouse eat you - موش بخوردت In a sentence: when you squeeze your baby's cheeks, “moosh bokhoradet!” = “the mouse will eat you!” When something or someone seems incredibly cute to you, this is the perfect opportunity to use this phrase! “They are so cute that a mouse would eat them.” Don't ask what the point is or why it's considered an idiom. It is implied that it is used to express affection. I think mice are cute!

8) Khak bar saram = Earth on your head - خاک بر سرم In a sentence: “Chikar kardam, khak bar saram!” = “What have I done, shame on me!” People usually use this expression when they realize that a situation is getting out of control, or when they have done something terrible or are dealing with something absurd. I have already mentioned that Persian is an extremely dramatic language, and this phrase perfectly confirms my words. In fact, when you use this expression in speech, you are already admitting that you have done something terrible and unforgivable to the point that you deserve to have your head buried in the dirt, not just covered with dirt. This phrase can become an insult if you replace it with “khak bar saret,” which means “dirt on YOUR head.” 9) Jeegareh mani = You are my liver - جیگر منه In a sentence: “Golbou, jeegareh mani” = “Golbou, you are my liver! / You are my everything!” Even more tenderness! Jeegar is translated from Persian as liver, but this word is very often used in the context of expressing the warmest feelings towards someone. If someone says that you are his liver, it means that you are very dear to him. Persian, unlike many other languages, has a million options to express this feeling. To express your love in Farsi, you can use the following expressions: “asheghetam,” “jeegareh mani,” or “nafaseh mani.” 10) Saram kola gozoshtan = They put a hat on my head - سرم کلاه گذاشتند In a sentence: “Ziyadi pool dadam, saram kola gozoshtan” = “I paid so much, they fooled/deceived me” Use this expression when you find that someone deceived you. Or you can say that if you yourself have fooled someone. Persians speak in metaphors, so don't let them fool you!

11) Hava-to daram = I have your air - هواتو دارم In a sentence: “Negaran nabash, havatoh daram” = “Don’t worry, I’m here with you” This phrase should be used in speech when you want to comfort or reassure someone then, expressing concern for this person. If you want to say “I understand and support you” to a friend when he is worried about new job or for a result in an important exam, or you want to express in Persian that you really empathize, just say “Havatoh daram.” 12) Zameen khordam = Crashed into the ground or ate the ground - زمین خوردم In a sentence: “Ah, zameen khordam!” = “Oh, I’m so down!” And finally, the last phrase that defies translation. If you are not succeeding, you are in despair and feel as if you are really falling down and are about to crash into the ground, then you can just use this expression. “Khordam” means “ate” or “crashed”, in this expression they can be used interchangeably, since they mean the same thing: colliding with the ground. This does not mean that you literally eat the earth, it is a kind of association of the moral decline of man with the process of eating the earth.

Dear readers! I do not pretend to have absolute knowledge of the Persian language (Farsi), but the material that I publish below was enough for me to travel around half of Iran without any problems. I will publish in parts. For those interested, stay tuned for the following posts. So, let's begin.

Brief grammar:
1.The letter ﺍ (aleph) is read briefly and softly. It looks like in Russian in the words ball, part. All initial vowels are written with aleph. The letter aleph is not written in the middle of a word.
2.The letter آ - alef-madda is read more like a long “o”. In the phrasebook it is designated as “ O" In the middle of a word, it is indicated without the dash “madda” on top, like an ordinary aleph, but is read closer to a long “o”.
3. Consonant voiced sounds are not deafened.
4. The letter و (вов) at the beginning of a word and between vowels is read as “v”. Between consonants and at the end of words, like “u”, “o”, “ou”.
5. The sounds “sh” and “zh” are always pronounced softly.
6. The stress usually falls on the last syllable.
7. The plural is formed using the suffix “-ho”. For animate objects only using the suffix “-on”.
8. After the word “chand” (how many) and after numerals, the singular number is used.
9. Words are linked into one combination using the possessive suffix “-e” (after consonants) and “-ye” (after vowels). For example: dar-e x O not (house door), x O ne-ye pedar (father's house). The same suffix is ​​used in words indicating location.
10. Adjectives are also added. For example: n O n-e tose (fresh bread), n O n-e garm-e toze (fresh warm bread).
11. Adjectives are placed after nouns and the suffix “-e” or “-ye”. Only the superlative adjective is placed before the noun. For example: bozorgtarin hone (largest house).
12. The comparative degree is indicated by the suffix “-tar”. Excellent - with suffix
"-tarin." Superlative adjectives are placed before the noun, and comparative adjectives after.
13. From the word “good” degrees of comparison are formed without correction: khub - bekhtar - bekhtarin.
14. The word “chizi” (something) is placed before the verb; in the case of a negative form of the verb, it is translated as “nothing.”
15. In colloquial speech, the long vowel aleph-madda (o) before the nasal letters “n” and “m” is pronounced like the sound “u”. For example: mih O nam - mikhunam (I read), x O ne-hune (house).
16. In colloquial speech, the short connective “-ast” and the personal ending are 3 l. The singular "-ad" is pronounced like "-e". Example: dorost-ast = doroste (correct), dorad = dore (he has), mikhonad = mikhune (he reads).
17. Post-syllable “-r” O" denotes a certain one, not a certain one. item.
18. The sound ـق is indicated in this phrasebook by the letter combination “kg”, which sounds as if together.
