Unfortunately they are so mad at the tyrrany they've undergone by the islamic clergymen (who are Iranians by the way) that they can't focus on altruism and friendliness and think all Arabs are negative and they should avoid everything Arabic! I feel sad for them, for they cannot see the truth. 🏵️ 💜💙💚💛💘♥️

    As a Persian native speaker (I'm Iraninan), Arabic is so hard for us to learn and have a conversation with an Arab. We can read Arabic and understand it just a little bit but we can't talk and communicate. Also grammar of the Arabic is much harder & more complicated than Persian. We learn Arabic at our schools but at the end, we won't be able to talk.

    As a Persian speaker (Iranian Persian), I cannot understand Arabic but I can understand some of the keywords due to shared-vocabularies and sometimes get the general point. But learning Arabic is quite a different thing. I've already learnt English, Russian and German; so if I want to compere, it's like if an English speaker tries to learn a language with Russian grammar AND French vocabulary. But it’s worth trying! I'm gonna start learning Arabic very soon.

    assimilated for speaking the national language of my country, or for choosing one language over another? Your usage of the word "assimilate" isn't quite correct here. Azeri ethnic group are Iranians, even more Iranians than Persians, we have been on the Iranian plateau for 5 millennials, our language has changed from Azeri to Turkic, when we were assimilated by survival necessity to the invading Turkic tribes from 10th c to 16th c, when the assimilation was competed and the ancient Azeri language was no longer spoken. Just giving you examples on how to use the word. Remember there has been only one country which survived 5 thousands years since humanity got so advanced and organized that decided to invade far reaching lands and create empires. Iran has been located in the middle of East and West, and started the age of empires and even one can argue globalism.

    Another nice video! I'm from Afghanistan and my language is Persian. My name is Ali, an Arabic name. but my family name is a persian word 'Danesh', which was mentioned in the video and means 'Knowledge'. this shows how these 2 languages have influenced each other. I want to add another point about differences between Arabic and Persian. It is not only 'Waw' or letter (و) that is pronounced differently between these languages. there are other letters too, and actually there are letters in Persian that there is no use of them because they are pronounced exactly same. For example in Arabic, we have four types of 'Z' and they are (ز، ض، ظ، ذ) and three types of 'S' and they are (س، ص، ث) and each of them are pronounced differently from each other. like the words (ثم and سم) are pronounced differently in Arabic (Sam and Tham). In persian, though we have all those letters, but we pronounce each of them similarly and they are exaclty like 'Z' and 'S'. just like the previous example (سم and ثم), we pronounce both of them as سم (sam). and we pronounce all of (ز، ض، ظ، ذ) as (ز) like 'Z' in English. and (ت ، ط) we pronounce as 'T' and also some other letters. Thanks you for the video!

    Zikos Honestly here is the problem: we have Quran as a subject in school till fifth grade and they teach us with a tape but then when we have Arabic replacing it in sixth grade they teach it with no other tool than the book... So the only Arabic that I hear regularly on TV and on the street is Quran which is absolutely beautiful but it's not exactly how people speak Arabic nowadays. It is actually quite upsetting that they don't teach us properly in school Arabic is such a beautiful language

    As an Iranian, I should say that the number of words we recognise when hearing Arabs speak is actually very few. Also, the advantage that similarities offer when learning Arabic is very very small. Arabic is an extremely difficult language to learn due to its complex grammar and conjugation. Farsi, as you correctly mentioned, is far simpler due to various reasons.

    Thanks, very nice explanation. One thing that is mentionable: For most of the arabic loan words there actually is a native persian version, which is either used in another context or not used often because it sounds antiquitated. For example you mentioned the word for "Name" which in native persian would be "Nam". In every day slang the word "Esm" is much much more common. But "Nam" is used nearly in 100% of formal correspondences like news, books or formulae. If you would ask someone on the street "Name to che ast?", he would definitely think you are a time traveller. And the same thing happens, when "Esm" is used in a formal context

And about the scripts: The current script of the Persian language was not borrowed from Arabic language, to be more specific, after the Arab conquest of Persia, Persian and Arabic scripts merged with each other, and thus this new common script was born.
