Lesson 1 - Vocabulary

Bismillah...

Here is some vocabulary, remember to read all of the Farsi words aloud and use the correct pronunciation, making sure to check whether it is a long or short vowel...


Sometimes Pronunciation of words can be hard due to the lack of signs such as fatha, kasra and dhumma. Certain pronunciations are easier than others, such as Aab(Water), and Taaj(Crown).


A general rule to follow when pronouncing Farsi words, is that all Farsi words end with a Saakin(Letter without a vowel). For example Asb(Horse) and Paarch(Jug).


Another interesting point is that if a word ends in a vowel, it will either have an ‘ا‘،’و‘،’ی’ or ‘ه’.  For example Muzje(Eyelashes) and Sahraa(Desert).
