¿Cómo presentarnos en español?

Hi everyone, I am Sara and this is Persian made EZ, episode 2. 

One way to say “how are you?” in Persian is to use, “chetor i?” and, “chetor in?”.

We use “chetor i”, with the “i” ending, when we’re talking to one person in an informal setting, for example when talking to a friend or family.

And we use “chetor in”, with the “in” ending, either when we’re talking to one person in a formal setting, or to more than one person in both formal and informal situations. 

It's also very common in person to ask, “khub i?” and, “khub in?” when we're greeting each other.

“Khub” means “good”, “well”, or “fine”, so “khub i?” and “khub in?” literally mean, “are you fine?” or, “are you doing well?”

You can also put “khub i?” and “khub in?” together with “chetor i?” and “chetor in?”, and greet each other like this: 

Salām! Chetor i? Khub i? (Informal, Singular)

Or

Salām! Chetor in? Khub in? (Formal / Plural)

We can answer “chetor i?” and “khub i?” with, “khub am, merci!” and, “khub am, kheili mamnun!”, or, “bad nistam, merci!” and, “bad nistam, kheili mamnun!”.

And then we can ask, “to chetor i?” and, “to khub i?” or, “shomā chetor in?” and, “shomā khub in?”.

Now let’s practice! 

Dialogue 1

Salām! Chetor i? 
Salām! Khub am, merci! To chetor i?
Khub am, kheili mamnun! 

Dialogue 2

Salām! Chetor i? Khub i?
Salām! Bad nistam, kheili mamnun! To khub i?
Khub am, merci!

Clear usage try and + (verb)
Andrew says:
'we try and meet up when we can'
'we try and make excuses to meet up'
Putting try and before a verb means you want to do something, and you make an effort to do it - Andrew and his family make an effort to meet up.
 You may also hear try to + (verb), which means exactly the same thing.
