Speak Lesson 4 | How to Say Where You Live, and Answer Simple Questions


Listen Later

In this Persian (Farsi) lesson, we review all past lesson materials. You'll have a chance to test out your comprehension of the vocabulary learned, and see if you're able to use the words and phrases in the correct context.We also learn the words needed to answer simple questions in the Persian language- essential when having any casual conversation! These words are:

  • Yes (balé)
  • Yeah- more informal (āré)
  • No (na)

Then we learn how to say where we live (and if it’s different than where we are from), and how to answer some simple questions. The phrases in this section include:

  • I am from ___________
  • I am not from _________
  • I live in ______________
  • Where do you live?
  • I am from _______________ but now I live in ______________


As always, we'll go over several potential conversations you could have using just this vocabulary.In addition, we learn that in the Persian language, it's not necessary to state the subject in the sentence. The subject is understood based on how you conjugate the verb in the sentence. For instance, instead of saying 'man az Iran hastam' (meaning I am from Iran), you could simply say 'az Iran hastam'. The listener can tell from the conjugation of the word 'hastam' that the sentence is referring to the first person singular, so you can drop man (meaning I).
