Hi Maryam. I am currently watching lesson 19 and am going through your lessons one by one. I just wanted to say that I am deeply grateful for your efforts with these lessons and think they are incredibly valuable. I am so glad I was recommended your channel, and I will (and have already) recommend your channel to others.
Hi Maryam-jun, thank you so much for this lesson and your breakdown of each and every example. Your program has been so helpful and I am really enjoying how much I am learning through your videos!!
You're welcome. Just one thing; we say : (مُتِشَکِرم : mo-te-sha-kke-ram) which means I am thankful or just (تَشکر : ta-sha-kkor ) which just means thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging comment! Please let me know if you have any question or feedback! I'm always trying to improve my lessons :)
Thank you for your clear and thorough lessons. I have enjoyed each class and look forward to each new post. I appreciate how much time you put into each video and will try to remain patient for the next one.
Thank you so much Lorraine! Your comments are very motivating as always! The beginner level is over and from now on I will start publishing the intermediate level. Thank you for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you for watching. This is common problem among many languages and the best advice is to memorize the verbs with their prepositions. Not only the infinitive form. For example the verb “to use” in Farsi is, استفاده كردن - estefaade kardan The preposition is از (from/of) Instead of memorizing just the infinitive try to memorize it with از از + استفاده كردن Or از چيزي استفاده كردن You can also memorize the verb with an easy example. Like below: من از كامپيوترم استفاده مى كنم - I use my computer I hope that was helpful please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you very much for your comment. It really motivates me to make more videos when I see encouraging comments. Also, thank you for your sharing your idea about Patreon. I haven't thought about it but I will do more research about it and see if there is something I can do there. I am still figuring out how to navigate TH-cam but I'm very open to other platforms as well.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked it. Yes, the verb سوال كردن comes with the preposition از از کسی سوال کردن to ask someone (In Farsi literally: to ask of/from someone) من از معلم یک سوال کردم I asked the teacher a question Please note سوال كردن does mean to ask (request). It only means “to ask (question). To ask(request) is درخواست كردن which has the same preposition از. I hope that answered your question. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@@persianHow Thank your for the fast response and for the additional information. I didn't thought about this distinction, because I'm German. I would rather use "bitten" in the context of request, instead of to ask (fragen)
I have a question .. Amber in English comes from Arabik word Anber.. Is it Kehriba in Farsi. And kehriba is two words.. keh and ruba. In western languages '' electron '' has the same meaning.. Can you give me more info about ''kehriba '' pls..
Yes کهربا is the Persian equivalent of that. I'm not too sure, but I think in ancient Persian it was also called "anbar" but later on the name was changed to کهربا. It is constructed from two parts که + ربا . I am not sure what the first part "که" is referring to, but ربا is the present stem of the verb رباییدن which mean to abduct. I know this stone has the quality to attract things to it, I think that's why the present stem of the verb رباییدن is used in the construct of the word. I hope that answered your question.
Thank you for your question. The auxiliary verb دارم is optional and we don’t have to use it specifically. Without it, still it makes sense. من غذا مى خورم I am eating lunch من دارم غذا مى خورم I am eating lunch The first one without دارم could also mean the present continuous tense.
It would be wrong to say من به او يك مداد خريدم. You need to change the preposition to براى(for) من براى او يك مداد خريدم Literally: I bought for him a pencil
Great question and thank you for asking. The prefix می does not mean anything, it is just a prefix and it is only used to give a tense to the verb (simple present, future, present progressive, imperfect). For example; من حرف می زنم = I am talking The prefix می in this sentence is used only to make present progressive tense . Now, شود comes from the verb "شدن = to become ", so شود means "getting/becoming" it is used in many situations. For example, when something is changing and becoming something else, شود is used. Here a few examples, It is getting dark = هوا تاریک می شود He is getting old = او پیر می شود My cat is becoming better = گربه ام بهتر می شود Please note, in the spoken language the pronunciation of می شود changes to میشه
Hello Maryam.. lesson 18 and 19.. I dont get any voice.. There is no sound.. I have no idea why it happens. ? I very much like your lessons and I want listen the last two lessons. What can we do ?
Salaam Maryam! Your videos are amazing! I’m learning a lot! However, I must also ask you about the audio level on your videos. It is very low. Is there a way you could speak nearer to the mic or work around this problem somehow? Apart from that, thank you very much, @persianhow !
Thank you for your question. That's a good point ! پیر زن: pir-e-zan and پیر مرد: pir-e-mard are exceptions, which you just need to memorize them. The general rule is; first then "Noun" followed by the "Adjective" and they need to be connected with "ezafe", but there are exceptions here and there. I hope that was helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Its difficult to know the correct prepositions with a verb.whats your advice about this topic
Thank you for watching. This is common problem among many languages and the best advice is to memorize the verbs with their prepositions. Not only the infinitive form.
For example the verb “to use” in Farsi is,
استفاده كردن - estefaade kardan
The preposition is از (from/of)
Instead of memorizing just the infinitive try to memorize it with از
از + استفاده كردن
Or
از چيزي استفاده كردن
You can also memorize the verb with an easy example. Like below:
من از كامپيوترم استفاده مى كنم - I use my computer
I hope that was helpful please let me know if you have any questions.
Your videos are very in depth and informative, Maryam. Why don't you start a patreon?
Thank you very much for your comment. It really motivates me to make more videos when I see encouraging comments. Also, thank you for your sharing your idea about Patreon. I haven't thought about it but I will do more research about it and see if there is something I can do there. I am still figuring out how to navigate TH-cam but I'm very open to other platforms as well.
Mamnunam for this lesson. I also heard of "so'âl kardan" for "to ask". Would it be "az kasi" here too, or something else?
You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked it.
Yes, the verb سوال كردن comes with the preposition از
از کسی سوال کردن
to ask someone (In Farsi literally: to ask of/from someone)
من از معلم یک سوال کردم
I asked the teacher a question
Please note سوال كردن does mean to ask (request). It only means “to ask (question). To ask(request) is درخواست كردن which has the same preposition از. I hope that answered your question. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

For present continues tense "i am listening to music" shouldn't we use "daraam"??
Thank you for your question. The auxiliary verb دارم is optional and we don’t have to use it specifically. Without it, still it makes sense.
من غذا مى خورم I am eating lunch
من دارم غذا مى خورم I am eating lunch
The first one without دارم could also mean the present continuous tense.
If I said (من به او يك مداد خريدم).Its correct or no ? If no whats the reason?
It would be wrong to say من به او يك مداد خريدم.
You need to change the preposition to براى(for)
من براى او يك مداد خريدم
Literally: I bought for him a pencil
Salam chatoori what is the meaning of word (می) and (شود ) how and where those words are used in Persian language. Thanks.
Great question and thank you for asking.
The prefix می does not mean anything, it is just a prefix and it is only used to give a tense to the verb (simple present, future, present progressive, imperfect).
For example;
من حرف می زنم = I am talking
The prefix می in this sentence is used only to make present progressive tense .
Now, شود comes from the verb "شدن = to become ", so شود means "getting/becoming" it is used in many situations. For example, when something is changing and becoming something else, شود is used.
Here a few examples,
It is getting dark = هوا تاریک می شود
He is getting old = او پیر می شود
My cat is becoming better = گربه ام بهتر می شود
Please note, in the spoken language the pronunciation of می شود changes to میشه
Hello Maryam.. lesson 18 and 19.. I dont get any voice.. There is no sound.. I have no idea why it happens. ? I very much like your lessons and I want listen the last two lessons. What can we do ?
I’m so sorry to hear that. Have you tried the videos on other devices ? Like another phone or another computer ? Let me know if that would work.
Salaam Maryam! Your videos are amazing! I’m learning a lot! However, I must also ask you about the audio level on your videos. It is very low. Is there a way you could speak nearer to the mic or work around this problem somehow? Apart from that, thank you very much, @persianhow !
ln your example7, old woman is translated pir-e-zan. Why not zan-e-pir with the adjective afternoun?
Thank you for your question. That's a good point !
پیر زن: pir-e-zan and پیر مرد: pir-e-mard are exceptions, which you just need to memorize them.
The general rule is; first then "Noun" followed by the "Adjective" and they need to be connected with "ezafe", but there are exceptions here and there.
I hope that was helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
