i think it's a good idea to open a new topic for learning Persian and asking questions about Persian language....this way if you have any problem or any question for example if you wanna know the translation of a sentence you can ask your question here...!so what do you think?
if you have any other suggestion just let me know...!

Learning Persian and common questions

great idea!!!

i'm glad u liked it..

so let's start:
what does this mean?!
عید قربان چه می کنید؟ ما، گوسفندا، جشن، تولد، عروسی
found it somewhere on youtube ;-) -
oh i guess i've seen this video...it's an interview and the interviewer asks a guy some questions...right?this video is really hilarious.the person who answers the questions has an strong Azari accent.actually there are some parts in Iran that people talk Azari which is similar to Turkish language somehow..!and it's difficult for these people to talk persian fluently and even they have some difficulties in understanding Persian...in this interview the question is: what do people do in Qorban holiday? Qorban actually is a religious holiday in Iran that people sacrifice a lamb for God.but this person instead of answering properly, just say some relevant and irrelevant words without any verb! he says: we, the lambs,party, birth, wedding .etc....in fact he is trying to say that we celebrate this day but he can't!(lol)

let's get started...
so for the first step I'm gonna introduce you Persian Alphabet :
It contains 32 letters
Alef آ - ا
آ comes at the beginning of the words and is pronounced like "a" in "awesome" and ا comes at the beginning , middle, or the end of the words , it can be pronounced like "e" in "end" or like "a" in "apple" or like "o" in "open"
Be ب like "B" in "Better"
Pe پ like "P" in "Persian"
Te ت like "T" in " Time"
Se ث like " S" in "Sound"
Jim ج like "J" in "Jet"
Che چ like "Ch" in " Church"
He ح like "H" in "Hope"
Khe خ it has no equivalent in English! but it's pronounced like "J" in Spanish words like "Juan "
Dal د like "D" in "Door"
Zal ذ like "Z" in " Zoo"
Re ر like "R" in "Rain"
Ze ز like "Z" in "Zoo"
Zhe ژ this letter has no equivalent in English but it's pronounced like "J" in French words such has "Bonjour"
Sin س like " S" in "Sea"
Shin ش like "Sh" in " Ship"
Sad ص like "S" in "So"
Zad ض like "Z" in " Zebra"
Taa ط like " T" in " Tea"
Zaa ظ like "Z" in " Zero"
Eyn ع it's pronounced like the first letter : ا which I explained above
Gheyn غ there is no equivalent in English but it's pronounced like "R" in French such a "R" in "Bonjour"
Fe ف like "F" in " Foot"
Ghaf ق like " R" in French
Kaf ک like "K" in " key"
Gaf گ like "G" in " Guide"
Lam ل like "L" in "Let"
Mim م like " M" in "Man"
Noon ن like " N" in " No"
Vav و like " V" in " Vast "
He ه like "H" in "Home"
Ye ی like " Y" in " Yard"
For more informations you can check out this site :
http://www.easypersian.com/farsi/per..._archive_1.htm -
As you can see we have ت/ط which both of them are pronounced like "T" and we have ث/س/ص which are pronounced like "s" in "Sea" and we have ح/ه which are pronounced like "H" in "He".
we also have ذ/ز/ظ/ض that all of them are pronounced like "Z" in "Zoo".
In fact the point is that the pronunciation is the same but when you want to write , you have to pay attention to see which form of these letters should be written.. -

Hahaa, mersi Pinky girl ! The official language in Belgium is Flemish, also known as Dutch, lol. But the majority of the people speak French too, in the capital city most of the people speak French, because we have a lot of immigrants living there. There's a lot of Persians in Belgium too, you can even find Iranian shops over here. So if you all want to come over, You're very welcome ! :-) By the way, I have been on Jam-ee-Jam a while ago, but I don't remember the singer's name nor the name of the song, could you help me find it back if I give you details about the video ?

interesting...! i didn't know that these languages are spoken there...
And since there are lots of Iranians there I guess I should plan to take a trip to Belgium some day...
I'M not sure if i can help or not but tell the details so other guys here can help us , too!
