Tiny Topics Podcast - Episode 1 - Slow Version

 You’re talking with a friend when they say something about someone you like. You react a bit too quickly — and the mood shifts. You realize it, and you need one sentence to soften what just happened.

“Marta y su gato Max" (con transcripción)

Hi everyone, I am Sara and this is Persian made EZ, episode 3.

“Khabar” and its plural form “khabar-(h)ā” is the news in Persian.
So we say, “che khabar?”, or “che khabar-(h)ā?” to say, “what’s the news?”, “what’s new?”, or “what’s up?”.
 
To this we often say “salāmat-i!”. 
Salāmat-i means health, and in this context we use it to say, “not much!”. 

We can also respond to “che khabar?” and “che khabar-(h)ā?” with, “hich-chi(z), salāmat-i!”, literally, “nothing, just health!”.

And then we can ask, “to che khabar?” (informal), or “shomā che khabar?” (formal/plural), and “to che khabar-hā?” (Inf.), or “Shomā che khabar-hā?” (frm./pl.).

Let’s practice!

Dialogue 1

Salām! Chetor i? Che khabar?

La Costituzione italiana - breve storia e tutela del patrimonio artistico

Tengo notas escritas en papel de ideas, recuerdos, inspiraciones... apuntes por todos lados. En la puerta de la nevera, en el teléfono, entre los libros, en mi mesa de trabajo, en diarios personales y no tan personales, en mi carpeta de poemas... ¡¡¡Por todos lados!!! 

Notas sueltas, igual que las notas que farandulean por el aire cuando un director de orquesta sinfónica alza sus batutas y las notas de los instrumentos surcan el aire sin control.
