do you pronounce the glottal stop (eyin, hamza) in Persian
Hello,
I have a question about the pronunciation of the glottal stop -the letter eyin ع and/or hamza in real-life colloquial Persian.
Do you actually:
1) pronounce the glottal sound as in /mas’ool/, /ba’d/, /ma’moolan/, /majmu’e/, /’aalee/, /ma’roof/, /jom’e/, /so’al/
or
2) do you simply make a pause in place of عas in /mas-ool/, /ba-d/, /ma-moolan/ /majmu-e/, /aalee/, /ma-roof/, /jom-e/, /so-al/
or
3) do you skip the ع letter/sound all together in pronunciation and simply pronounce the words without it as in /masool/, /bad/, /mamoolan/, /majmue/, /aadee/, /maroof/, /jome/, /soal/
Thank you in advance!

Answer

سلام

As Sohrab said, they are pronounced as a short pause, but in spoken Farsi when ع  is in the middle or  final position of a word, it may not be pronounced and it usually makes the following or preceding vowel longer
so in the word "ba'd"  we may say "bad" but with a longer "a" ( َ  ). 
and in the word "shoro' "  we usually don't make a pause at the end.

I hope this helps

Answer

as a general rule, they bring a very short pause to the words

Answer

اگه ع، یا ئ وسط کلمه بیاد اونو تلفظ میکنیم ولی اگه اول یا اخر   باشه تلفظش نمیکنیم.
"مثلا در کلمات" معمولأ(ma'moolan) ، مسئول mas'ool، معروف ma'roof، بعدba'd، جمعه jom'e" ع و ئ تلفظ میشه در حالیکه در  "عالیه، علی" تلفظش نمیکنیم، میگیم ali, alie
