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

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).
