The Adventures of Captain Underpants

Chapter 1 George and Harold, Chapter 2 Tree House Comix, Inc.

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?
Salām! Khub am, merci! Salāmat-i! To che khabar?
Hich-chi(z), salāmat-i! 

Dialogue 2

Salām! Khub i? 
Salām! Bad nistam, kheili mamnun! To khub i?
Merci, che khabar-hā? 
Hich-chi(z), salāmat-i! To che khabar-hā?
Salāmat-i!

Another current part 2 topic with example answer.
As I commute into the city for work every day, I always do my best to avoid the rush hour traffic, which is not always easy. I usually get up at 6 am and catch the bus at 6.30 to beat the heavy traffic, and go for a relaxing coffee before starting work. 

 However, about 2 weeks ago, I slept in on a monday morning and didn’t wake up until 8am,missing the early bus, and not catching the next one until 8.30, which i knew would mean being late for work due to the traffic.

Normally the bus ride into the city centre takes about 45 minutes, but because of taking the bus during the peak rush hour it now took almost 2 hours. The traffic was unbelievable, and cars were bumper to bumper, moving at a snail’s pace, for the entire journey.

What made it even worse was that the bus was full, and passengers were packed like sardines , which also meant I had to stand for the full journey. To try and pass the time, I just read the  news using my mobile phone, as well as messaging my boss to let him know I would be late for work due to the heavy traffic.

I’m not the  most patient person and being stuck in a traffic jam like this is something I really hate, and always something I try to avoid. I also take pride in always being on time for work, and felt absolutely terrible  to be over an hour late on this day. I now set 2 alarms every night to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの30回目です。先週はアップロードする時間がありませんでした。少し忙しかったです。ついに30回です。前回お話しした、私がホストを務めるウェビナーの詳細が決まりました。日本時間で、6月20日の午前10時から10時45分までです。日本人の先生に向けた内容なので、スライドも会話も全て日本語です。興味のある人は、ぜひ参加してみてください。配信後はYoutubeで公開される予定なので、ライブじゃなくても別の日に見ることができます。

Hello. This is my podcast episode 30. I didn't have time to upload it last week. I was a bit busy. Finally, it's the 30th episode. The details of the webinar I told you about last time, which I will be hosting, have been finalised. It will be on 20 June from 10am to 10:45am Japan time. It is aimed at Japanese teachers, so all slides and conversations will be in Japanese. If you are interested, you are welcome to attend. It will be available on Youtube after the delivery, so you can watch it on another day other than on-air day.

今月でPatreonのアカウントを閉鎖することにしました。本当は続けたかったのですが、私生活も仕事も忙しくなってきたので、更新に十分な時間が取れません。ふりがなを表示するChromeのエクステンションを生徒さんに教えてもらったので、今後はウェブサイトでふりがなが見られるようにしたいと思います。いままでサポートしてくださった皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

I have decided to close my Patreon account this month. I really wanted to continue, but my personal and professional life has become so busy that I don't have enough time to update it. I have learned from my students about a Chrome extension that displays furigana, so I hope to be able to see furigana on the website in the future. Thank you very much to everyone who has supported me until now.

30回なので、このポッドキャストを作ってきた思い出を振り返りたいと思います。このポッドキャストは、生徒さんのアイデアで始まりました。その時の私はまだコンデンサーマイクとオーディオインターフェイスを持っていなくて、ヘッドセットのマイクで録音していました。音質がすごく悪かったです。音質が悪いエピソード１〜４は、まだPatreonで聞くことができます。

30. ポッドキャストを振り返る

O pronome Te é chamado de pronome pessoal, ele corresponde a segunda pessoa do singular de um verbo - Qual é a segunda pessoa do singular? É o Tu , se você conjugar o verbo Falar, a primeira pessoa, Eu falo, segunda pessoa, Tu falas. Terceira, Você/ Ele/ Ela fala. O pronome Te pode ser direto - quando não precisamos de preposição, ou indireto, quando precisamos dela. Vou dar alguns exemplos de Direto, primeiramente: 1- Eu te respeito - pois quem respeita, respeita alguém, sem a necessidade da preposição. “Se usarmos a terceira pessoa do singular, seria Ele a/o respeita (informalmente, na língua casual, nós utilizamos de uma outra forma. Ele respeita ela)”. 2- Eu te encontrei (pois quem encontra, encontra alguém, sem preposição). Se usarmos a terceira pessoa, seria Eu a/o encontrei - informalmente, na língua casual, do dia a dia , nós falaríamos. Eu encontrei ele). 3- Agora, darei o exemplo de duas frases, uma frase somente na segunda pessoa e a outra, na terceira para você perceber a diferença. Ontem, encontrei contigo e te convidei para jantar. Uso na segundo pessoa - pois você tem o contigo e o te, os dois pronomes estão rimando. Ontem, encontrei com você e lhe convidei para jantar. Uso na terceira pessoa - pois você tem o com você e o lhe - na língua formal , na escrita, pois na língua falada, provavelmente, nós misturaríamos as duas frases, ou seja, nós falaríamos: Ontem, encontrei com você e te convidei para jantar! Em alguns livros, você perceberá que é possível colocar na frente o verbo no início das frases, como: Encontrei-te! Só que no português do Brasil, não usamos essa versão na fala, somente na escrita para dar um pouco mais de embelezamento no texto. 4- Ela te procurou (pois quem procura, procura alguém, sem preposição) Mas, caso seja uma procura emocional, se tiver valor afetivo para o sujeito, pode levar a preposição “por”.
