Common Mistakes

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!

The richest man in Babylon 

《假如》
假如我有一枝
马良的神笔，
我要给窗前的小树
画一个红红的太阳。
让小树在冬天
也能快活地成长，
不会在寒冷的北风里
缩着身子，轻轻叹息。
假如我有一枝
马良的神笔，
我要给树上的小鸟
画许多好吃的谷粒。
鸟妈妈再也不用
到遥远的地方去寻食，
让小鸟呆在家里
苦苦等待，饿得哭泣。
假如我有一枝
马良的神笔，
我一定给不幸的朋友西西
画一双好腿，
还他一个健康的身体。
他再也不会只坐在屋里
望着窗外的小树和小燕，
而是和我们一起
在操场上奔跑，在草地上游戏。
假如我有一枝
马良的神笔……
