Everyday Dialogues

Canceling an Appointment 🗓️❌

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?

Dialogue 2

Salām! Bad nistam, kheili mamnun! To khub i?
Merci, che khabar-hā?

Juliana (de Brasil) y yo (de México) platicamos sobre la música de los 60s y 70s que se esuchaba en nuestro respectivo país. Lo interesante, es que cada quién habló en su lengua materna, y ninguno de los dos, ha estudiado formalmente el idioma del otro.

Beneath the Lexicon with Anna

The EASIEST way to remember ARTICLES and PREPOSITIONS

「あっという間」とは「時間が短い」という意味の表現です。例えば、「新幹線なら東京から大阪まであっという間だよ」とか、「今年もあっという間だったね」と言ったりします。

この２年間はずっとパンデミックでした。もう元の生活に戻った人もいると思いますし、今、隔離をしているという人もいるかもしれません。

私にとってこの2年間はあっという間でした。パンデミックが始まる直前にドイツに来て、オンラインで日本語を教え始めたり、ポッドキャストを始めました。また、このパンデミックの間にもイタリアやポルトガルに旅行することができました。パンデミック中にいくつか新しいことを始められたり、旅行ができたことは私にとってとてもラッキーでした。
でも、この2年間どこにも旅行に行くことができなかったという人もいるかもしれません。
自分のやりたかったことが何もできなかった2年間だったという人もいるかもしれません。
私にとって日本に帰ることがむずかしい2年間でもありました。今も隔離やPCR検査は必要なので、以前のように簡単に日本と外国を行ったり来たりすることはまだできません。

みなさんにとってこの2年間はあっという間でしたか？

あっという間：In the blink of an eye
新幹線：しんかんせん　high speed train
元の：もとの　original
元（もと）の生活（せいかつ）：the life which people used to have, normal life
隔離：かくり　quarantine
行ったり来たり：いったりきたり　back and forth
