For anyone interested in Shahname, there is this phenomenal Persian podcast called "Fedowsi Khani". The host is an Iranian doctorate in literature. He reads and explains Shahname from the beginning. readingferdowsi.com/ برای کسانی که به شاهنامه علاقه‌مند هستن، پادکست فارسی عالی ای به نام «فردوسی خوانی» هست. مجریش یه دکتر ادبیاته. از اول شروع به خوندن شاهنامه می‌کنه و توضیح میده.

True story: When I was living in Iran in the mid ’70s, I once attended an opera. It was in Italian, put on by a traveling company. At one point in the opera there was a knock on the door and someone onstage said, “Who is it?” In Italian that’s “Chi è?” (similar to “Key A” in English). The Iranian audience immediately burst out laughing. The performer was bewildered, since the line wasn’t meant to be funny. Why the laughter? It turns out that in colloquial Persian, “Who is it?” ( کیه ) is pronounced virtually the same as in Italian. So the local audience thought the Italian performers were joking with them by throwing a little Persian into the opera!

That was hilarious! We use "ki" in colloquial Persian and "ke" in bookish Persian for "who". "Če-kasi" (what person) is also used in formal Persian. The Persian word for "(it/he/she) is" is "e" in colloquial Persian and "ast" in formal Persian. "Hast" is also used in the sense "(there) is, exists", but also "is".

Oh! You explained everything super accurately!! Wow! I'm a Persian native speaker, but actually after listening to your explanation, I got a feeling like How interesting! I'm going to learn this language !!! And thank you very very much to make such an interesting and helpful content about Persian!

I am a fluent L2 speaker of Persian and have been learning it for over three years. In my opinion, the difference between written and spoken Persian is very structural and can be familiarized in no time. Persian can be learned quickly, especially if you are a native speaker of European languages or Arabic. The biggest challenge for Persian is the cultural elements embedded in the language itself. Idioms and slangs are very difficult to learn/memorize because of cultural factors. For example, in Persian, they say "Qorbonet beram" before saying goodbye to express proximity between people. In English, this expression literally means "I will sacrifice myself for you". Obviously, there is a story/reason for each of these idioms. Persian is full of these expressions and many of them make no sense to people from other parts of the world (like me). Learning them can be very very difficult since our brain tends to remember things better when we can relate to our existing knowledge. Obviously, if you are an Arabic speaker, for example from Lebanon or Syria, you will not find this as difficult because there are less cultural gaps. Some expressions in Persian may still sound odd, but it's guessable to some Arabic speakers. It all depends on your mother tongue, cultural gaps and exposure. Stella

Think of it like this: We are a nation who is very comfortable with exaggerations intended for flattery and cajolery. Although they might seem mushy, dishonest or even downright nonsensical to other cultures , we consider them to be endearing as long as they are for the purpose of courtesy. We don’t take these sayings literally believe it or not. I hope that helps.

I know 8 months since you posted this comment just passed but was wondering it can help you if you are still learning Persian. the reason for saying it goes back to Love stories mythologies and of course these days exaggeration( بزرگنمایی) exaggeration is also a big part of literature especially in poets like Shahname Ferdowsi. anyway in the stories most of the time the lover wanted to literally sacrifice (mostly)his life for the beloved girl to rescue her or even die due to excessive love and sadness. this Idiom is more logical if u see it in the history and literary context. ( you can find this idiom in different languages belong to Iran like Lorish, Kurdish, Azeri and maybe Northern Iran languages.)

Learn Persian until you can understand our poetry. Then you realize the true fascinating nature of this language. Thanks Paul for this great video!

For every Arabic loanword in the Persian language, there is an equivalent Persian word that is preserved and used by many people, and frequently used in Persian poetry. There are also many important Persian words in the Arabic language, such as the word "فهرس", an originally Persian word that is very important in Arabic literature. The influence of Arabic on the Persian language is well known, but the opposite is often overlooked. Many people argue over such topics, but I personally find the commonalities, and the cultural exchange and understanding to be a great way for us to come together, which is what I try to highlight on my channel. When you put it in perspective, we all learn from other civilizations, no language has remained exactly the same for 3,000 years, none of us are original, but we all have certain aspects which are unique and interesting, and we all have influenced and been influenced by others in one way or another. This is something to celebrate and enjoy, not fight and argue over!

As Arabian you said the truth, and Persian have great culture and love it a lot of scholars were Persians because Persians are people of science and can see that clearly, even prophet Muhammad said to his Persian friend: if there is kitab(book) between earth and heavens Persian guy will catch it, wish for our unite again and pass of each other and pass some wrong faiths wish Persians admit it in sword and back like islamic abbasid golden age time! And want to give you surprise bro these days will pass inshallah because prophet Muhammad told us about it so we don't get mad but work, even in history when Mongols crushed the islamic world then entered Syria and jordan valley they were crushed ,and when crusaders tried to entered Syria in second crusade they crushed too! And when Byzantine try to take Syria again and took Aleppo Seljuk came and crushed them too! Even prophet Muhammad told us that Syria will be the place were the enemies fall in it and today this is there last days ,history replay himself but in New characters

@@gryf92 Its a little more complicated than that. Pockets of Northern Iran was introduced to shia islam before sunni islam. Provinces like Gilan and Mazandaran held out longer, and were exposed to Islam by shia who were persecuted, and the Abbasid revolt first started in Iran due to the treatment of the descendants of Mohammed by the Umayyads. It wasnt the only reason, Umayyads were generally intolerant of Ajamis, but it was a prime reason. This gave some shias hope, but sympathy for the family and being sunni are not contradictory, Iran was staunchly sunni (and non-muslim) at that time. It wasn't until the Mongol invasion that most of the sunni strongholds were poorly defended. Mongols demilitarized most of Iran out of fear of retaliation for the mass killings. Iranians trained in secret in gyms known as "zoor khaneh" (house of power lol) during this time. They were still prominent in sunni Islam, the Ottomans would send their scholars there to learn, just like shias do today, because they didn't have the religious institutions to train everyone, but just like the Islamic conquest northern Iran faired better, and this time they had a significantly larger shia population that could eventually conquer the rest of Iran as their numbers grew. The pro shia people who conquered were Iranic(gilani, kurdish mazandarni, sistani, etc), Turkic(turkoman, qizbalshi, azeri), armenian, georgian, and circassian. This was the beginning of Safavid rule and the history of modern Iran. Under Shah Ismail they were extremely intolerant of sunnis. It didn't help matters that Selim (Ottoman sultan) was equally intolerant of shias and ruled at the same time. This caused a pretty large migration shift of sunnis and shias, and a lot of deaths. In the end, both sects are more similar than they are different.

Thank you very much for this video. I'm Tajik from Uzbekistan and for me it was very interesting. Even though I'm a native speaker, I've never thought about how grammar works, because I've never learned it. Since official language of the country is Uzbek, there are very very few schools that are fully taught in Tajik(Persian/Farsi). But after finishing one of those Tajik schools you don't really need it in your future career so you still have to choose either Uzbek or Russian to continue your education, so almost noone learns the language properly. For these and other reasons our daily spoken language has changed very much. Uzbek(one of the Turkic languages) influenced our language a lot. And it's continuing to change with every new generation. But nevertheless, we still understand Iranians, they understand us. Of course with some difficulties, but it's possible to communicate 👌🏼

Hey there. I am a local Persian speaker. I really appreciate the fact that so many people are interested in our language and hope that you enjoy learning it because it is a very sweet and delicate language. I also thank you Langfocus for explaining it so well. I enjoyed it a lot❤️❤️ Just a little correction here, the present stem isn't actually hard to create and we do not memorize it. To find the present stem of a verb, you should write the imperative form of the verb and remove the "b" sound from its start. For example, the verb «خوردن» (pronounced like: khordan) First, you write the imperative form: «بخور» (pronounced like : bekhor or bokhor dependent on the speaker) And then, you simply remove the "b" sound from the start: «خور» (pronounced like : khor) And wallah, you have the present stem. Another example is «شنیدن» (pronounced like: "shenidan" which means "hearing") The imperative is «بشنو» (beshno) Remove the "b" sound «شنو» (sheno) And there is your present stem. Another correction, the letters «غ» and «ق» are COMPLETELY pronounced differently. Even nowadays. You just need to see it in different regions of Iran to understand. Just the fact that people pronounce it similarly in our capital, doesn't mean it is pronounced similar in everywhere. Also, to answer your question, I believe that the formation of the words are also a very important part of Persian to understand. I don't know how to explain it since I'm not a teacher😅 but basically the formation explains how words are created in Persian and vasts your understanding of the words you hear. "Moshtagh" , "Morakab" and "Moshtagh Morakab" are the three main types of word makings. I love to see it explained. And at the end, I thank you again for such a great effort you did to explain Persian. And sorry in advance for the probable gramatic problems I had in my comment. I'm still not a very fluent English speaker.

I don't know why but Persian sounds to me so sophisticated and royal and I like it. If it weren't that I'm currently learning Japanese and Korean I'd go and give it a try. The fact that is S.O.V like Japanese and Korean and that it uses postpositions as well plus the fact that the vocabulary is Indo-European related makes it more intriguing. The ease of pronunciation and moreover the way Farsi adapted Arabic script reminds me of the relationship between Chinese and Japanese. I don't know if anyone can relate, I love this channel.

What a great language! When I was in grad school, in the 70's, before the shah was overthrown, we had many Iranian students at U. of Illinois. One was a housemate of mine. Recently, I came across a YT vid of someone speaking Farsi, and realized a) I missed the sound of it because b) it's beautiful! I'd rate it right after Italian (my fav) for sheer beautiful sound. Haven't studied it, so didn't realize what cool, logical grammar it has. My housemate only taught me one thing and, from your video, I think I know now how to transliterate it: Salaam (the easy part) chetori which is apparently the familiar form (2nd per. sing.) If only it didn't have squiggly, backward-moving (to me) script...

I'm a native speaker of Turkish and I've been learning Persian for a few months. It's been quite enjoyable. Turkish has lots of loan words from Persian and learning the origins of such words is fun. Having lots of Persian words in my native language helps a lot while building up my vocabulary, but there are times it actually hurts. That is when we have a Persian loan word but its meaning has slightly changed over time. You guess its meaning, but oops, it has a similar meaning but it's not exactly the same. It is also challenging to pronounce Arabic loanwords. I find it easier to guess the pronunciation of native Persian words.

there are many Turkish words in Dari as well probably in Farsi too and likely even more so in Tajik. I love Turkic languages they sound so nice to my ears.

PAUL, your documents are remarkable and very valuable. THANKS. BAFS

For Polish speakers questions seem very familiar: ki-kto, che-co, key-kiedy, chera-czemu, kodam-który, and forming questions by rising intonation is a basic feature of spoken language.

I think Indo-iranian languages in general and Persian especially belong to satem family language. Slavic languages are also satem.

@@lilray5470 That's correct! I always belive the language represents the mindset and mentality of peoples and reverse, speaking a language can form the mentality. I think that's why as an Iranian I always had good relationship with people from Slavic countries like Ukraine, Poland and Russia!

reza kh It's so nice to hear that. There is definately some common mindset, no wonder Polish nobility claimed ancient Iranian (Sarmatian) origin/connection instead of a western european one or whatever.

Well, I think we’re all more similar and related than what we think, regardless of what languages we speak, and that the language of friendship is universal, Reza.

I liked the grammar crash course in the video. Opened up the language much more.

For a Turkish person it is really enjoying to learn about Persian language just like Arabic. Most of Turkish people are not aware of using Persian and Arabic words in daily life. I feel like enlightened when I realize Persian words in Turkish language. And it sounds amazing.

Isn't Dari the mother language of Afghanistan?

"There is no grammatical gender" makes this language perfect and easy to learn. Update: Also comparing it to most languages that have 1-3 articles, Persian doesn't have any definite article.
