Spanish and Persian are both Indo-European languages that have some similarities in their vocabularies. Spanish, however, is a Romance language, while Persian is an Iranian language. Spanish is the official language of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Spain, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Persian (Farsi) is primarily spoken in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, as well as some other regions in the Middle East and Central Asia. - บันเทิง
Pedar in Persian, pater in Latin, padre in Spanish. That is the indoeuropean route.
Indo means from India right?
@@europebasedvlogs1251 Yeah. Many Indian language belong to the same family. And it's Pitre in Sanskrit.
How about mother ... madar in persian
Indo-European is a mythical race
@@danny9102 maatri in Sanskrit. The closest in Hindi would be Mata.
I have a Iranian mom and Mexican dad! Very interesting video :)
This video is weird when your father is persian and your mother mexican xD
You must have amazing genes
why your profile pic is riven bro
and you are riven main
@@amirshadabi3067 probbly riven main :|
but are you Muslim? Inshallah you are. I am from Pakistan and recently see many Irani abandon the great religion of Islam. Please don't do this. It is a shame.
This is wonderful. Your bringing the world closer... one word at a time.
❤❤❤
It's crazy to see how little Indo-European languages differ even after all that time and distance.
They differ quite a lot. Only a few words are still similar
You'd say persian and spanish don't differ a lot? There are some vocabulary shared but VERY different languages
@@aleks8327 what do you mean by a few? I can find more than one hundred alone and I am not a linguist.
@@Lost7one A hundred words in a vocabulary consisting of 88,000 words (Spanish) is not a lot
@@aleks8327 yes I am telling you for example I can find hundreds of words in latin and iranian that have the same root but I am not an expert, an expert would obviously find thousands of words. Latin and Iranian languages are related and have the same ancestor language. Why do you say a few words? Are you an expert?
I'm Persian living in Colombia and I loved the video
Thank you for watching. Really glad to hear that. I hope you enjoy our future videos:)
Hi! Why are you there of you don't mind me asking?
Im persian living in méxico
@@naimtowfighian329 what part of Mexico?. My husband is from Tehran I'm from Mexico City
@@miryammesika8113 Vivo en guadalajara, y ahi naci, mi padre es de una ciudad de iran que se llama Abadan y mi madre es de Aguacalientes en México
As a Portuguese speaker I could understand much of this, our pronunciation is more similar to Persian, and our spelling to Spanish haha
that surprised me, I expected persian to sound like "AIHALABALASALAMALAHALA!" hahaha, I didn't expect it to sound like some kind of "lost cousin" of peninsula iberica languages.
Pelger Considering Arabic had such an Influence on all of them, it makes sense
@@dialmightyspartangod6717 most of these words aint even Arabic lool
𐎿𐎠𐎯𐎼 - 𐎡𐎼𐎴𐏀𐎠𐎷𐎴 Hence the word “influence”
Beso=beijo
Hola=olá

I can stay here all day writing Portuguese words that are exactly the same in Spanish.. But Lucas think Persian language it's similar to our just because of their pronunciation.
This the first ive watched something like this and it really fascinates me how inter connected we are with each other. Its always fun to know that all of us have something in common that we can share and have a good laugh for.
Jamal Wayans Thank you Jamal! You're absolutely right. I hope you enjoy our future videos as well :)
I will...im actually on a marathon watching all your videos...cant wait for your new one.
Jamal Wayans Awesome! Thank you
Jamal Wayans they are both indo european languages, so they have some similarities
I m from Peru, I like the video. Afarin :)
raguisol1
Thank you! Also appreciate and love your use of "Afarin" ;) ... Muchas gracias :)

Qué es afarin?
It means "Well done"
Iranian girls are so pretty 😍
F-zero91maru | LOOL. So somebody should drop their religion just for you to see more beautiful women?
F-zero91maru | Damn. Anyways many iranian and Afghan women (Farsi speaking ones) don’t wear headscarf. In Islam, you don’t have to wear a headscarf but it’s advised to. It’s mostly an Arab thing that has been spread throughout Islamic areas. And Shia Islam is less strict and Iranians are Shia so yeah you could probably wife one.
F-zero91maru | Oh right so they’re missing out on things that are bad for you? And don’t forget all of those things are forbidden in the bible too. Yes, even alcohol and pork.
F-zero91maru | you ignored the fact that they are all bad for you.
@@mquiroz90 God... You're the most stupid person I've ever read online.
I like how the persians are sipping on tea every few minutes
Green tea
We love tea 😁
Hahaha 😊
Iranians LOVE tea
We love our tea brah
I speak Farsi as a mother tongue and learnt Spanish in school so this was very interesting to watch!! ❤️❤️❤️
I like your British accent too ;)
Parsi*
Those Iranian women are beautiful, especially Tala.
Omg I just found this channel yesterday! Amazing! Kheili mamnoon from Colombia 🇨🇴 I love Persian culture, it is simply a love which deeply comes from my heart ❣
Thank you!! Much love ❤❤
Thank u!!!
Kheyli Mamnun is turkic/mongolic actually, the Persian word for it is Sepas-e besyar or Besyar az shoma sepasgozaram
Bahador u have a great channel.I learn so many similar words thanks to u . Greetings From Turkey
Thank you so much my friend!! Much love for Turkey and our Turkish neighbours :)
Well done! Thanks for all the good work you invested. Persian and Spanish are both truly beautiful languages.
As somebody who speaks both languages, I really enjoyed this clip and found it very entertaining. Shabakat eyval dare Bahador jan.
samuraialfredo
Thanks a lot for that! I really appreciate it. We have many more videos coming, hope you enjoy them!
Sepas!! :)
How did you learn both? That's really interesting bro
X2 xD
You could also make a video about similarities between Bulgarian and Persian, because we have Persian friends who always say that they understand a lot of words when we speak Bulgarian (maybe because of the many turkish words we use) 😊
I would rather have watch that and I wanna see Spaniards too!!
Those words must be turkish words with persian roots
They are Persian words which entered through the Ottomans. Remember that the Ottomans spoke Persian and Arabic as their first languages. Turkish was only spoken amongst the poor.
Weird because I’m spanish and Persian!!!
Que cool. Interesante combinación.
Gracias yo quiero aprender farsi para familiarizarme con mi lado persa
So is actress Sarah Shahi :)
Nice mix lol
sexy mix
"Iran in Spain" is a book everyone MUST read
Hey, who's the author? can't seem to find any info on it
@@amordadian Prob how some Iranians went to Spain
Who's the author?! I can't find it anywhere and if such a book exists I'd love to read it!
Heh, I’m half Chilean and half Iranian. 💘🌶
where u from? I'm also Chilean and I find that mix kind of exotic, I guess you live in Sweden/France? Can't imagine any other possible way your parents meet.
It will be interesting to make one Persian vs. Bulgarian, there are some Persian loanwords in Bulgarian language :)
Tikvah Silva
Thank you. You're absolutely right. I have been talking to a Bulgarian friend of mine to hopefully set up a Bulgarian vs. Persian video in the future :)
There are persian names all over the world. You get Sheherzad, Soraya, Darius and Cyrus everywhere
Greetings from India Mr Brave(Bahador). Beautiful attempt at connecting people through the similarities in the language. Love these videos of yours.
Ankur Singh
Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy our future videos:)
Why don’t we have Persian speakers from other countries like Afghanistan and Tajikistan. lm Afghan and understood all the words they said
Actually I would love to have Persian speakers from Afghanistan and Tajikistan! Unfortunately, the only Afghans and Tajiks I know in Toronto aren't fluent enough to participate. If by any chance, you know any Afghans or Tajiks in Toronto who speak fluent Persian and would like to participate, could you please contact me on Instagram?
Bahador Alast No l live in NY or l would help. A lot of the words are the same ln both but Iranian Farsi has a lot of words in Arabic and French while Afghan Farsi is more classical so l am very interested ln knowing which words are different ln both bc lt honestly is so similar
Mel Par not all Afghans are Persians. The Tajik ethnic group in Afghanistan are Persian. Not only bc they speak Farsi because during the Persian empire of the Safavid and Saffarid Dynasties the Persian people had a migration to the east which began the Persian ethnicity in Afghanistan. You think a people would not leave their mark on other countries? These people settled here and became part of different countries. The Pashtuns is who Afghans were created for. The Farsi word for Pashtun is Afghan. So do not make statements when you don’t know anything you are talking about.
Persian is not a ethinic it is a culture that includes many tribes and many countries
Persian is not only iran but afghanistan tajikistan uzbekstan all Stan coutries are persian and even Kurds , Panjabi and Baloch are all persian
Not only tajik in afghanistan is persian but all are persian
Remember persian is not tribe it is a culture
@Vivian Smith-Smythe-Smith You know what you are talking about. +1
Loved this video! It was so funny and entertaining!! All the six ladies are so charming and seem so down to earth and fun!
I love persian language the sweetest in the world
❤❤
Absolutely
Yama Ahmadi i really want to learn it one day, i’ve become so interested after watching his videos. all of my family speaks it except the youngest generations. :((
yama ahmadi where are you from
Love from Iran 🇮🇷❤
Mexican woman looks very free-spirited and an easy going type of person. She brings such a positive energy
I am latin american and I prefer the serenity of the Persians.
Because no have islam 💪💪💪💪
Mexico is such a beautiful country. It really is.
its a fantastic idea. tanx for sharing such lovely clips it makes ppl to think they are from same blood and race
Thank you for watching Cyrus jan!
beautiful ladies. by the way the word "iran" in spanish means "they will go" 😆
it's written "irán"
Omg that's funny 😂😂
@@elaypegah1013 kujaa asteh
In Persian, it’s “miran” (“miravand” in bookish Persian). “They” is represented by the suffix “-an”, like in Spanish, and the verb “go” is “ro/rav”.
They will go in Persian
Will be Mirán میرن.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s super interesting, in colloquial Persian as my friends have already mentioned it’s "mīrán", short for formal "mīrávánd" which is already similar enough, but in Luri which is another Iranian language closely related to Persian I also speak (Bakhtiari dialect in my case), it would be either "ērēn", "ērán", "īrēn" or "īrán" (it depends on the dialect).
Hey, you make great videos bro, greetings from Armenia 🇦🇲
As an Armenian, I’ve understood ~50% of the words and that’s very cool (these words in Armenian are: badrjan, zeytun, nareenj, sapon, shaqar and jahel-javaan)
Please, make some more videos similarities between Armenian and some other languages like Greek, Hebrew, Basque (yeah, there are so many similarities) ...
Lab ( farsi) is "lábios" in portuguese. Soap is "sabão" , Meez is Mesa (portuguese). You should do it with portuguese, dude.
Great video, I speak both Spanish and Farsi and I didn't realize how many similarities there were.
I love the competitiveness of this challenge
Thank you for watching :)
It’s awesome, at the same time they compete and they cooperate! The positive and joyful atmosphere is so pleasant. This great idea of finding similarities might even one day break the ice between some nations 👍
Thank you! :)
i love it soooo much *-* im in love with this right now... its awesome
Bahar noroozi
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy our future videos as well :)
your videos are amazing! i am looking forward for your new videos like this.
Omid Tizkar Thank you Omid! Really appreciate that and hope you enjoy the upcoming videos. There'll be a lot of variety :)
Underrated channel!
Shahrzad you need to do one with Assyrian and Persian!
assyrian2NV
Thank you. We definitely plan to do that in the future, and we also wanna compare Assyrian with Armenian, as well as some other languages from the region :)
Bahador Alast Can’t wait, if you need some words I can help you out anytime. There are alot of Assyrian words which are in the Persian vocabulary.
Subscribing btw :)
assyrian2NV Thank you! That would be great actually, and if by any chance you know any Assyrians in Toronto who would want to take part. I have Assyrian friends but I'm looking for ones who would love to participate, I don't want to force them to do it haha. And if possible, with the words/phrases, could you reach us through facebook or instagram (myself or @shahrzad.pe), just cause a lot of comments on here can easily get missed. Thanks again :)
Very interested in Assyrian and Armenian. Cant wait to play this game as an Armenian, want to see how many words I can nail. A lot of words here there are the similar ones in Armenian too:
Sapoon( Soap) (We have "Ochar" as well)
Baderjan ( Eggplant)
Jahel ( Young )
Shakar (Sugar)
Shakmat ( Chess)
Zeytoon ( Olive) (Also have "Tsitabdoogh")
Nareenj (Orange)
Pretty amazing.
I’m From Iran and my name is Armita and I’m 10 love u. Guys
but are you Muslim? Inshallah you are. I am from Pakistan and want to go to Iran but recently I see many Irani abandon the great religion of Islam. Please don't do this. It is a shame.
@@junaid1040 brother, if ur mother was a christian, will you consider her not your mother. If your religion teaches intolerance, then its not from god, scientifically speaking
@@junaid1040 Why does it matter what religion this girl is? Just appreciate her nice comment.
Go play with your barbie dolls! Internet not allowed for minors!!😡😡

South American women are very pretty
This got really competative. 😂😂
I'm from Iran.thanks for this kind of videos. Gracias
abc zxc
Thank you for watching! Sepas az shoma :)
De nada
Grew up around both languages, it's crazy to see the similarities! Well done
Persian language has many similarities to slavic languages as we are indo-europeans too. F.e. Persian weapon sagaris means the same as slovak's sekera or czech sekyra.
original persian language is sanskret and avesta and this language speak slaves and is very similar
After 6 years married with a Persian guy I can understand Farsi by the way 🙊🤣😍😍
You are all very wonderful people and you brought a great smile to my face!
Thank you!
Another great episode!
Maybe a good Idea to do Dutch and Persian, I have been teaching dutch to refugees in the first decade of this century. Half of the classes were filled with speakers of persian from Afghanistan and Iran very nice people lot of humour!! and they were speaking a lot of persian to eachother After a while I started to get used to sounds an i started topick up a lot of words which were either related to Latin languages or to germanic or both, and there were even words i could relate to ancient greek. I guess I would learn persian rather quick if I would go to study it in Tehran. As a dutchman I sometimes ask myself how Persians (and argentinians) swear since everything sounds so sweet to my ears ;) but i am quite sure they find a solution.
Wonderful job bro! Keep it going!
Sepas Nima jaan!
Make more longer videos ... I looovvvveeeddd it ... it was so much fun ... u should do challenges more often 😉
Thank you :)
Sure thing! We'll make longer videos and add more challenges to the mix for the upcoming videos. Thanks for your feedback!
That was really fun to watch 🤩 their joy is contagious
All these ladies are gorgeous!
And the guy isn’t bad looking either!!
The Iranian girls look a lot like the people from Latin America. They'd not look foreign at all here.
Your crazy.Then again you all think you look alike so....
Spain was under Arab for 700 years so there you have the connection
muhamad rasul There are many more connections than that, since both Spain and Persia had little arabian admixture.
Deal Wolfstriked Who said everyone looks alike? There are some faces that fit more naturally in Latin America than others though, and those are very likely to be thought of as locals.
Uhhh Spanish speaking doesn't mean Spanish.That one on the far left is not at all what a Spaniard looks like,just saying.Explain now how they look alike....
To me TALA seems to be the "boss" for the persian team... :-) + very good these language "tests" videos, I as a slavic (Slovakia) like them very much, great work guys!
Very nice video! It's unbelievable how these languages are similar!
Amir-Mahdi khabushani Thank you. It's very interesting, isn't it? Thanks for watching! We have some really interesting ones coming up in the next few months.
Bahador Alast Thank u for the reply. Can't wait to watch them!!! Keep up the good work!
Amir-Mahdi khabushani
Sepas :)
Bahador Alast Even Arabic and Spanish has some similarity knowing that Spain used to Be Arabian/Islamic back then
Due to Muslim ruled in Spain during khilafat osmania rule
Well done Bahador, I think using stopwatch e.g. 30 second for each word to guess will be good
Really really I just fall in love with Tala (Iran). Her smile and simplicity just like a blooming flowers.
عشق است عشق است ہا ہا ہاہا 🤣😂😀😄😃
Lots of love from India
Persian always have chai omg😂😂😂😂🇮🇷💜
Princess Parisa MAN CHAI DOOSTDARAM
I love chai tea. So good
Better than alcohol or coffee hahaha
Can you do a similitaries between kurdish and Persian ;) I think that the both languages are very close to each other ;)
Rashid Seraj Thank you! Absolutely, the similarities are immense between the languages and cultures. We have a Persian/Kurdish video planned. Stay tuned my friend :)
kurdi tat lori balochi talic and other dialects are original Iranian languages because they are very similar to sanskret and avesta, even their national clothing zartoshti
I became a fan of #Tala 💕💕 lots of love and appreciation from Nepal for this great work and the video. keep it up guys you've got a new subscriber instant ! 😍😍
Shah Qar
Thank you. Really appreciate that, and Tala does as well :)
mate do you know one thing? Bahador or Bahadur in Nepali means a person who is very Brave. that's why Nepalese are known as Gurkhey or Bahadur commonly.. may be who knows the word itself has a same meaning in Persian also! considerable 😎😇😋
Excellent research on langues and similarity between words...
M & S Sharif
Thank you! :)
Very ingenious and a delight to watch
this has to be the funniest one I've seen so far, who would've thought spanish and persian discussion could get so heated up? xD
Games like this help us realize that we have more in common than we think. It honestly would have never crossed my mind to compare Spanish and Persian.
Both languages are beautiful.
Wow...
We share and have a lot in common haha
Despite we are from different cultures... so amazing
Keep it up!
Great idea , great video...but I have just a little suggestion, it would be more interesting I think if you bring the Persian people from different great Persia regions like Afghanistan and Tajikistan at least...since we should not limit the Presian.
But overall I really appreciate your efforts and your videos are really nice! ❤
i speak both lenguages, i like the video!! :)
Salam¡¡¡
Sepas/Gracias
Thanks for watching :)
en serio hablas ambos idiomas? de donde sos? me sorprende que hayan personas que dominen esas dos lenguas...
It's "funny" how we nowadays are taught that Persia was the anti-thesis of European culture, when in fact it is a continuation of it, or dare I "blaspheme" and say that perhaps it is even the other way around (or rather the truth is in the mix - not the middle). If you study ancient Greece and it's mythology, culture and language, you come to understand the very close connection there, between Greek and Persian! Driving the point home if you pay attention to the words chosen here, many if not most of them have the same root as the English language too (father, orange, soap, young, sugar, mother...)!
PS. I know I'm stating the obvious but, I think Tala is Beautiful!
Excellent programm.thanks
خیلی عالیه واقعا... دارم همه ویدیو ها رو نگاه میکنم.. عالیه مرسی
Very cute. 90% giggles 10% talking :)
Funny how similar we are. I'm Persian, and one of my best friends is Mexican. Everytime we go to a Mexican restaurant, he orders in Spanish, and the waiter presumes I'd do the same and then looks at me in shame like I'm a sellout because I don't speak Spanish lmfao.
Ahora quedé más impresionado. Excelente video.
I contacted you guys to do one in Pashto (I can do all three dialects). I am hobby etymologist of languages. Keep connecting people. Although, I never got an invite, I still like your channel
Thank you. I am slowly working through the list of the hundreds of people who have asked to take part in a video. I really hope to eventually involve everyone!
i love spanish❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why.... I’m mexican I it’s boring I love English
Sandra Holliman you’re stupid it’s not boring, you are just boring
Siempre viva
@@sandraholliman891 of course you do... your last name makes that clear.😞
Take the language aside; they have the same good sense of humor, and that's the most important thing to have a good relationship across the cultures. They are also some cute, happy and smart girls, keep smiling, girls.
This is absolutely beautiful
Pls make a team like this
One on one are much boring
Thank you:)
Can you include a summary of the words in the contest, so that if someone doesn't want to look through the video they can get the gist? Great channel, thanks!
That's a good idea. I will try to implement it in some of the upcoming videos, but personally I do prefer if people watch the video. For any future suggestions, can you please contact us on Instagram so we don't miss your comments (because that happens a lot on TH-cam where comments go unnoticed). Thank you :)

Es interesante ver las similitudes en las palabras entre idiomas que parecen tan diferentes.
Parecen pero son parte de la misma familia lingüística 😁
Ecuadorian girl is a living doll 👌🏽👌🏽
I could answer this like a peace of cake both for spanish and farsi, I understand both farsi and spanish. this clip was really hilarious :)
well, no great surprise since both are indogermanic languages, besides some persian words (and the concepts associated with them) came already with the greeks and romans to iberia and many many more with the moors and arabs... it was funny to look at but it would be really interesting if the moderator could talk a bit more about the coincidences! (the same would apply to the languages of northern India, and of course arabic, even if it is not an indogermanic language)
puma Thank you for watching. I aim to not make the videos too long because i don't want the audience to get bored but perhaps for the next video I'll aim to provide more details. Thanks again. Hope you'll enjoy our other works as well:)
I liked how competitive this was 😂 Every video should be this competitive
Not only they have similar words and look the same , there is some similarity in their cuisine too...specially they cook and eat stomach parts of cow and sheep ...in mexico they call it menudo , in iran they call it sirabi...this similarity is worth attention , it shows in far ancient times, once they were living together and then separated...in spanish lands moms yell at their kids BASTA! meaning that's enough , in some persian dialects moms yell at their kids BASTA too meaning that's enough!
Haha the best video ever, was so fun with the misunderstanding parts.
Also commented on another video, some of these are cognates (like lip), while some are borrowings via other languages (like eggplant and soap). I would love a small sentence about how the words are related to one another!
Shahrzad is very intelligent!!!
Mema Cordobes Thank you!!
XD
Shahrzad Pe hi
And so pretty 💚
Ebi Hamedi lol
WE ❤ 💜 PERSIA
&
PERSIAN LANGUAGE
I think I've watched all the challenge videos where Shahrzad was performing 😍
Can't blame you. She's irresistible 😊
No doubt 😊
I'm Filipino and I got almost all the words, especially the ones from the Spanish side LOL
How did they manage to know chess O.o shocked.
I know you have already done a turkish vs persian video but I think same concept with turkish vs persian would be interesting.
Because Bahador said it's a sport that doesn't involve physical activity
Great ! Indo European root words came out this time instead of loan words
I figured out that the spanish word fulanito and the persian „felani“ are similar too. What a nice video.
Nice work
Thank you!
The Hispanic girls are so beautiful 🙂
Shahrzad always makes me laugh because she’s so competitive lol 😂
Great Idea to putting people together from different country
Some of the words are the same in Malay as well. Amazing!
