This episode covers the verb phrase: 

TOUCH BASE


Brentoni's English Podcast

035 - touch base

Hi everyone, I am Sara and this is Persian made EZ. 
Let's begin with Persian greetings.

“Salām” in Persian is “hi”, and “khosh-bakht am” is “nice to meet you”.

As a response to “khosh-bakht am”, we can say “khosh-bakht am” back, or “ham-chenin”.
“Ham-chenin” means “likewise”.

So if someone says, “Salām, khosh-bakht am!”, you can say “Salām, khosh-bakht am!”, or “Salām, ham-chenin!”.

Persian Script 

سَلام: hello, hi
خوشبَختَم: nice to meet you
هَمچِنین: likewise

Latin Script 

Salām: hello, hi
Khosh-bakht am: nice to meet you 
Ham-chenin: likewise
