Lesson 35: A Dialogue between Leyla and Her Uncle Ahmad
Lesson 35 features a dialogue between Leyla and her uncle.
GREETINGS:
hello
سَلام
how are you?
چِطوری؟
Note: In Persian, as in many other languages, there is a formal and an informal way of speaking. We will be covering this in more detail in later lessons. For now, however, chetor-ee is the informal way of asking someone how they are, so it should only be used with people that you are familiar with. hālé shomā chetor-é is the formal expression for ‘how are you.’
Spelling note: In written Persian, words are not capitalized. For this reason, we do not capitalize Persian words written in phonetic English in the guides.
ANSWERS:
I’m well
خوبَم
Pronunciation tip: kh is one of two unique sounds in the Persian language that is not used in the English language. It should be repeated daily until mastered, as it is essential to successfully speak Persian. Listen to the podcast for more information on how to make the sound.

Leyla: Hello and welcome to learn Persian with Chai and Conversation. I’m Leyla
Matt: And I’m Matt
Leyla: Here with another installment in our Dallas conversations series. There are only two more lessons in this series, in which I have conversations with various family members who are native speakers of the Persian language. The final lessons in Unit 2 will consist of dialogues that take place in various establishments around town.
Matt: As always, bonus materials and our previous lessons will be found on our website at www.chaiandconversation.com
Leyla: Also, as a side note-‐ in the past, we have been slow to release lessons. Chai and conversation is far from a weekly podcast because both Matt and I have other obligations in addition to creating this podcast.
Matt: We have prerecorded Unit 4 however, and for the remainder of this unit, we will be releasing one lesson a week. This way, less time will lapse between each lesson, and hopefully you will retain more information.
Leyla: You can now pre-‐order the bonus materials for Unit 4-‐ you’ll get the bonus materials for lesson 30-‐34, and you will receive the bonus materials for each new lesson as soon as it’s released. This will make it easier for you and for us.
Matt: There are also exciting changes on the way for the website, which we will be announcing shortly.
Leyla: Sorry this has been such a long introduction, let’s get on with the program. Matt, are you ready to begin learning?
Matt: Ready!
Leyla: Great, then let’s begin to Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation!
Leyla: So as we said, this is another episode of the Dallas conversations series of Chai and Conversation. In this lesson, we listen to a dialogue I have with my dear uncle ahmad, or as I call him, dayeejoon ahmad. Dayee joon literally means dear uncle, and it’s a common name to call your oldest uncle. Dayee joon
Matt: Dayee joon.
Leyla: This extends to other aunts and uncles too. We covered this way back in Unit 1, but let’s go over the terms for aunt and uncle again as a refresher. Again, in Iranian culture, family is extremely important. This is perhaps most evident in the very specific terms we have for each different family member. So what is dayee, Matt?
Matt: It’s your uncle on your mother’s side, I believe.
Leyla: That’s exactly right. So what about your uncle on your father’s side?
Amoo
Leyla: Great. So if we want to use this term of respect, we can call him Amoo joon
Matt: Amoo joon
Leyla: Again, you generally reserve this term for your oldest uncle. What about aunt on your mothers side?
Matt: Khaleh
Leyla: Exactly khaleh. And what if you want to use a slightly more polite version of that?
Matt: Khaleh joon
Leyla: Great, khaleh joon. And lastly, aunt on your father’s side
Matt: Ameh.
Leyla: Yes, ameh. So how about dear aunt on your father’s side?
Matt: Ameh joon.
Leyla: Perfect! So let’s return back to dayeejoon ahmad, and listen to our conversation. As a bit of a background, my uncle owns a large piece of land in a small town in East Texas. He’s owned it for about 10 years now, and being an extremely industrious engineer, he’s developed this land himself by adding trails, ponds, and even a house he built himself over the years. We often visit this place with the entire family, and spend weekends fishing, riding around in 4 wheelers, looking at stars and birds and other very Texas-‐y activities. We call this place ‘zameen’ which simply means ‘land’. Zameen
Matt: Zameen
Leyla: Ok, so now, let’s listen to the conversation I had with my uncle when we visited ‘zameen’ on my last trip to Dallas. In addition to having been a long time since I’d been there, it was also the first time I got to see the house he’d built. Let’s listen.
Salam dayeejoon ahmad!
Salam leyla jan! Beh zameen khosh amadee.
Khayli mamnoon az davatetoon! Cheghadr eenja ghashange!
Doost daree khoonaro bebeenee?
Hatman, bebeeneem.
Befarma een taraf. Khob, een saloneh.
Khayli bozorgeh!
Baleh. Een ham ashpazkhoonast
Aaliyeh.
Een khooneh sheesh otagh khab dareh.
Chand ta?
Sheesh ta!
Khayli zeeyadeh!
Baleh, khob meedoonee, fameelemoon khayli bozorgeh
Dorosteh.
Bereem beeroon?
Basheh, bereem.
Ajab zeeb-‐ast!
Baleh, haftad o panj hectar zameen dareem. derakht zeeyad dareem. Va do ta daryacheh koochooloo ham dareem!
Deegeh chee dareen?
Deegeh, tractor dareem, bulldozer dareem. Albateh, tractoremoon kharabeh. Panchar shodeh.
Aha. Khob, hayvoonat chetor?
Eenja hayvoonateh vahshee zeeyad dareem. Bobcat dareem, coyote dareem, ahoo dareem. Hameh cheez dareem.
Parandeh chetor?
Baleh! Hameh joor parandeyee ham dareem. Een yekee ro beebeen, cheghadr ghashangeh. Abeeyeh roshaneh. Behesh meegan ‘Eastern Bluebird”
Leyla: Ok, like we do every time, we’re going to take this dialogue two sentences at a time. Beginning with the first two:
Salam dayeejoon ahmad!
Salam leyla jan! Beh zameen khosh amadee.
Leyla: So I enter and say ‘salam dayeejoon ahmad’ We learned the term dayee joon, what does it mean Matt?
Matt: Dear uncle
Leyla: Right, so hello dear uncle ahmad. Salam dayeejoon ahmad
Matt: Salam dayeejoon ahmad
Leyla: And he replied:
Salam leyla jan! khosh amadee.
Leyla: The phrase khosh amadee is welcome. Khosh amadee
Matt: Khosh amadee
Leyla: So he’s welcoming me to his home. Khosh amadee
Matt: Khosh amadee. Great. Next two sentences:
Leyla: Khayli mamnoon az davatetoon! Cheghadr eenja ghashange!
Matt: Doost daree khoonaro bebeenee?
Leyla: So first I say khayli mamnoon az davatetoon. Davat means invitiation. Da’vat
Matt: Da’vat
Leyla: So da’vatetoon means your invitation. So thatnks for your invitation. Khayli mamnoon az davatetoon
Matt: Khayli mamnoon az davatetoon.
Leyla: Da’vat is one of those tricky words that has a stop in the middle of the sentence.
Matt: Da’vat. Da’vat
Leyla: So again, khayli mamnoon az da’vatetoon
Matt: Khayli mamnoon az da’vatetoon
Leyla: And then I said “cheghadr eenja ghashangeh.’ We learned the word cheghadr before. It doesn’t have a direct English translation but it means something like ‘how much’. Cheghadr
Matt: Cheghadr
Leyla: And I’m sure you remember it because it’s pretty tricky to say. So cheghadr eenja ghashangeh.
Matt: Cheghadr eenja ghashangeh.
Leyla: So my full response again:
Khayli mamnoon az davatetoon! Cheghadr eenja ghashange!
Leyla: Let’s repeat each sentence one more time. Khayli mamnoon az davatetoon
Matt: Khayli mamnoon az davatetoon
Leyla: Cheghadr eenja ghashange
Matt: Cheghadr eenja ghashange
Leyla: Ok great. Moving on, my uncle says:
Matt: Doost daree khoonaro bebeenee?
Leyla: So the word ‘bebeenee’ is a bit tricky to explain. We learned the word bebeen in an earlier lesson. It’s the imperative form of to see. So when you say ‘bebeen’ you are saying ‘look’ in a commanding way. Bebeenee is a proposal or suggestion.The phrase ‘doost daree khoonaro bebeenee’ is a gentle proposal. It means ‘would you like to see the house’. Doost daree khoonaro bebeenee
Matt: Doost daree khoonaro bebeenee
Leyla: Or he could have said ‘khoonaro bebeeneem?’ This would mean shall we see the house? Or I could have said khoonaro bebeenam? This would mean shall I see the house? Instead, he proposed’ doost daree khoonaro bebeenee’? Meaning would you like to see the house. Let’s repeat it one more time. ‘Doost daree khoonaro bebeenee?’
Matt: Doost daree khoonaro bebeenee
Leyla: Ok, let’s move on to the next two sentences.
Hatman, bebeeneem.
Befarma een taraf. Khob, een saloneh.
Leyla: Ok, so following the last explanation, you should know what my reply meant. Hatman, bebeeneem. Hatman means ‘certainly.’ Hatman
Matt: Hatman
Leyla: And what does bebeeneem mean?
Matt: Let’s see
Leyla: Exactly, again, it’s in the imperative form, or the form of a proposal.
Matt: Bebeeneem, let’s see. Bebeeneem Bebeeneem
Leyla: Put together hatman, bebeeneem
Matt: Hatman, bebeeneem
Leyla: Meaning ‘certainly, let us see’ He said
Befarma een taraf. Khob, een saloneh.
Leyla: We’ve learned the word ‘befarma’ several times before. It’s a polite symbol meaning ‘go ahead’. Befarma
Matt: Befarma
Leyla: Een taraf means this way. So go ahead this way. Befarma een taraf
Matt: Befarma een taraf.
Leyla: So, supposedly in this dialogue I follow him this way. And he says
Matt: Khob, een saloneh.
Leyla: Salon is another word we got from the French. Salon. This means living room. Salon
Matt: Salon
Leyla: So, ‘khob, een saloneh’ Khob, een saloneh.
Matt: Ok, moving on to the next two sentences:
Khayli bozorgeh!
Baleh. Een ham ashpazkhoonast
Leyla: This reply should be very simple for you. I said ‘khayli bozorgeh’. What does this mean Matt?
Matt: It’s very big!
Leyla: That’s right. Khayli bozorgeh Khayli bozorgeh.
Leyla: My uncle replied:
Baleh. Een ham ashpazkhoonast
Leyla: Now, we’ve learned ashpazee before. It means ‘to cook’. So ashpazkhooneh means kitchen. Ashpazkhooneh
Matt: Ashpazkhooneh.
Leyla: So he says een ham ashpazkhonast. Meaning ‘and this is the kitchen’. Een ham ashpazkhoonast
Matt: Een ham ashpazkhoonast
Leyla: Great. Moving on:
Aaliyeh.
Een khooneh sheesh otagh khab dareh.
Leyla: So, I say aaliyeh. Which we’ve heard so many times before. My uncle replies by saying:
Matt: Een khooneh sheesh otagh khab dareh.
Leyla: The word ‘otagh’ simply means room. Otagh
Matt: Otagh
Leyla: And khab means room. So a sleep room. Bedroom. Otagh khab
Matt: Otagh khab
Leyla: So een khooneh sheesh otagh khab dareh means
Matt: This room has 6 bedrooms
Leyla: That’s right. Een khooneh sheesh otagh khab dareh
Matt: Een khooneh sheesh otagh khab dareh.
Leyla: Next two sentences:
Chand ta?
Sheesh ta!
Leyla: So this is a common exchange we’ve heard before. Chand ta means how many. Chand ta?
Matt: Chand ta?
Leyla: And he says ‘sheesh ta’
Matt: Sheesh ta
Leyla: He could have just said ‘sheesh’ but he included the ta in there. Ta doesn’t have a direct translation in English but just means something like ‘unit’. So Again chand ta?
Matt: Chand ta?
Leyla: Sheesh ta
Matt: Sheesh ta.
Leyla: Next two sentences:
Khayli zeeyadeh!
Baleh, khob meedoonee, fameelemoon khayli bozorgeh
Leyla: So I said ‘khayli zeeyadeh’. Zeeyad means a lot. So basically ‘that’s a lot’. Khayli zeeyadeh
Matt: Khayli zeeyadeh
Leyla: This may sound like a redundant sentence in English but it works in Persian. You could also just say ‘zeeyadeh’ and that works too. But 6 bedrooms is a lot a lot, so I say ‘khayli zeeyadeh’
Matt: Khayli zeeyadeh.
Leyla: To which he replies:
Baleh, khob meedoonee, fameelemoon khayli bozorgeh
Leyla: So first, meedoonee means you know. Meedoonee
Matt: Meedoonee
Leyla: What does the word ‘fameel’ mean?
Matt: Family
Leyla: Yes, and they’re very similar words. So fameelemoon khayli bozorgeh means
Matt: Our family is very big
Leyla: That’s right. Fameelemoon khayli bozorgeh.
Matt: Fameelemoon khayli bozorgeh.
Leyla: And the full sentence is ‘baleh, khob meedoonee, fameelemoon khayli bozorgeh’
Matt: Baleh, khob meedoonee, fameelemoon khayli bozorgeh.
Leyla: And my reply is ‘dorosteh’, or ‘that’s right’. Dorosteh
Matt: Dorosteh
Leyla: Ok very good. At this point, as we always do, let’s listen to the entire conversation up to this point.
Salam dayeejoon ahmad!
Salam leyla jan! Beh zameen khosh amadee.
Khayli mamnoon az davatetoon! Cheghadr eenja ghashange!
Doost daree khoonaro bebeenee?
Hatman, bebeeneem.
Befarma een taraf. Khob, een saloneh.
Khayli bozorgeh!
Baleh. Een ham ashpazkhoonast
Aaliyeh.
Een khooneh sheesh otagh khab dareh.
Chand ta?
Sheesh ta!
Khayli zeeyadeh!
Baleh, khob meedoonee, fameelemoon khayli bozorgeh
Dorosteh.
Leyla: At this point, let’s go over a few of the new words and phrases we learned in this first part. First, dear uncle, dayeejoon
Matt: Dayeejoon
Leyla: Next, welcome, or khosh amadee
Matt: Khosh amadee
Leyla: Next, thank you for your invitation, or ‘khayli mamnoon az davatetoon’
Matt: ‘khayli mamnoon az davatetoon’
Leyla: Next, the words for different rooms in the house. Living room is ‘salon’
Matt: Salon
Leyla: Kitchen is ashpazkhooneh Ashpazkhooneh
Matt: And bedroom is otagh khab Otagh khab
Leyla: Great. Now moving on to the next two sentences of the dialogue:
Bereem beeroon?
Basheh, bereem.
Leyla: So again, the word bereem. What does this mean again
Matt: Let’s go
Leyla: It does mean let’s go, but since in this sentence it’s part of a question, it’s better translated as shall we go.
Matt: Outside is beeroon Beeroon
Leyla: So bereem beeroon is shall we go outside? Bereem beeroon?
Matt: Bereem beeroon?
Leyla: So if he says it as a sentence, it would be let’s go outside.
Matt: Bereem beeroon Bereem beeroon
Leyla: So that way it’s a imperative, declarative sentence. In a question form, it’s a proposal. Bereem beeroon?
Matt: Bereem beroon?
Leyla: And I reply: basheh, bereem
Matt: Basheh, bereem.
Leyla: Meaning, yes, let’s go. So it’s declarative. Basheh, bereem
Matt: Basheh, bereem.
Leyla: All right. Next two sentences:
Ajab zeeb-‐ast!
Baleh, haftad o panj hectar zameen dareem. derakht zeeyad dareem. Va do ta daryacheh koochooloo ham dareem!
Leyla: Ok, so first I say ‘ajab zeebast.’ Ajab is a word that can be translated as ‘how’, or, in this context, ‘how beautiful it is’ ajab zeebast!’
Matt: Ajab zeebast.
Leyla: Now, my uncle gave a long reply, so let’s listen to it again, and break it apart.
Matt: Baleh, haftad o panj hectar zameen dareem. derakht zeeyad dareem. Va do ta daryacheh koochooloo ham dareem!
Leyla: So first, he says ‘baleh, haftad o panj hectar zameen dareem’. Hopefully you’ve been reviewing your numbers a lot and remember what haftad o panj is
Matt: I think it’s 75
Leyla: That’s right. Hectar is the Persian word for acre. So Haftad o panj hectar zameen dareem. We went over the word zameen in the beginning of the lesson-‐ what does it mean?
Matt: Land
Leyla: Right, so we have 75 acres of land. Haftad o panj hectar zameen dareem
Matt: Haftad o panj hectar zameen dareem
Leyla: Great. So then my uncle goes on to list other things about his land. The next sentence he says is:
Matt: derakht zeeyad dareem.
Leyla: The word derakht means tree. Derakht
Matt: Derakht
Leyla: So derakht zeeyad dareem
Matt: Derakht zeeyad dareem
Leyla: We have a lot of trees. Which is true, his land has lots of trees. Next:
Va do ta daryacheh koochooloo ham dareem!
Leyla: So when he first purchased the land, my uncle bought bulldozers and tractors, and used them to create a clearing in the land and dig out a pond. Pond is daryacheh
Matt: Daryacheh
Leyla: And koochooloo means little. So daryacheye koochooloo
Matt: Daryacheye koochooloo
Leyla: This means small pond. So do ta daryacheh koochooloo ham dareem, meaning
Matt: We also have two small ponds.
Leyla: Perfect. Do ta daryacheyeh koochooloo ham dareem.
Matt: Do ta daryacheyeh koochooloo ham dareem.
Leyla: Let’s listen to the whole description again:
Baleh, haftad o panj hectar zameen dareem. derakht zeeyad dareem. Va do ta daryacheh koochooloo ham dareem!
Leyla: Ok, next sentences:
Deegeh chee dareen?
Deegeh, tractor dareem, bulldozer dareem. Albateh, tractoremoon kharabeh. Panchar shodeh.
Leyla: So I started off by asking deegeh chee dareen? This means what else do you have? Deegeh chee dareen?
Deegeh chee dareen?
Leyla: Now, before we re-‐listen to this next sentence, let me explain that my uncle has been in the United States since the mid 70’s. Before the revolution, many young people, mostly young men, came to the US to get an education, and after the revolution ended up staying. So he’s lived in the US longer than he’s lived in Iran. For this reason, he does tend to use a lot of English words when he speaks Persian. But again, language is all about communication, so as long as I can understand what he’s saying, he’s done his job right. So he said:
Deegeh, tractor dareem, bulldozer dareem. Albateh, tractoremoon kharabeh. Panchar shodeh.
Leyla: So first sentence:
Deegeh, tractor dareem, bulldozer dareem.
Leyla: The word tractor is used in the Persian language, but bulldozer definitely isn’t. Next sentence:
Albateh, tractoremoon kharabeh. Panchar shodeh.
Leyla: Albateh is a great conversational filler word to learn. It means ‘although’ or ‘except’. Albateh
Matt: Albateh
Leyla: And kharab means broken. So tractoremoon kharabeh. Our tractor is broken.
Matt: Tractoremoon kharabeh.
Leyla: He explains why it’s broken by saying ‘panchar shodeh’. This means it has a flat tire.
Matt: Panchar shodeh Panchar shodeh.
Leyla: So let’s listen to this segment again:
Deegeh, tractor dareem, bulldozer dareem. Albateh, tractoremoon kharabeh. Panchar shodeh.
Leyla: Ok, moving on to the next two sentences:
Aha. Khob, hayvoonat chetor?
Eenja hayvoonateh vahshee zeeyad dareem. Bobcat dareem, coyote dareem, ahoo dareem. Hameh cheez dareem.
Leyla: So, continuing with the conversation of what my uncle has on his land, I ask khob, hayvoonat chetor? Hayvoonat means animals. Hayvoonat
Matt: Hayvoonat
Leyla: So hayvoonat chetor? Means how about animals?
Hayvoonat chetor?
Matt: Hayvoonat chetor?
Leyla: My uncle replies:
Eenja hayvoonateh vahshee zeeyad dareem. Bobcat dareem, coyote dareem, ahoo dareem. Hameh cheez dareem.
Leyla: So this is another vocabulary lesson, and another example of my uncle mixing Persian words with English words. So first he says
Matt: Eenja hayvoonateh vahshee zeeyad dareem.
Leyla: Vahshee is a great word and means wild. Vahshee
Matt: vahshee
Leyla: So hayvoonateh vahshee is wild animals. Hayvoonateh vahshee
Matt: Hayvoonateh vahshee
Leyla: So eenja hayvoonateh vahshee zeeyad dareem
Matt: Eenja hayvoonateh vahshee zeeyad dareem
Leyla: Bobcat dareem, coyote dareem, ahoo dareem. Hameh cheez dareem. So, bobcat is an English word, as is Coyote. But ahoo is a Perisan word, and means deer. Ahoo
Matt: Ahoo
Leyla: And next he says ‘hameh cheez dareem’
Matt: Hameh cheez dareem
Leyla: Meaning ‘we have everything’. Hameh cheez dareem
Matt: Hameh cheez dareem
Leyla: And the last two sentences of the dialogue:
Parandeh chetor?
Baleh! Hameh joor parandeyee ham dareem.
Een yekee ro beebeen, cheghadr ghashangeh. Abeeyeh roshaneh.
Behesh meegan ‘Eastern Bluebird”
Leyla: The word parandeh means bird. Parandeh
Matt: Parandeh
Leyla: So parandeh chetor? How about birds? Parandeh chetor?
Matt: Parandeh chetor
Leyla: One thing about Texas is that it’s a lovely state for bird watching. So my uncle replies:
Baleh! Hameh joor parandeyee ham dareem.
Een yekee ro beebeen, cheghadr ghashangeh. Abeeyeh
roshaneh. Behesh meegan ‘Eastern Bluebird”
Leyla: So first, he says
Hameh joor parandeyee ham dareem.
Leyla: Hameh joor means every kind. Joor is kind and hameh is every. Hameh joor
Matt: Hameh joor.
Leyla: So hameh joor parandeyee ham dareem
Matt: Hameh joor parandeyee ham dareem
Leyla: This means we also have every kind of bird. Hameh joor parandeyee ham dareem
Matt: Hameh joor parandeyee ham dareem.
Leyla: Een yekee ro beebeen, cheghadr ghashangeh. So there was a gorgeous little bird my uncle pointed out to me last time I was at the land. Een yekee ro bebeen means ‘look at this one’. So een yekee ro bebeen
Matt: Een yekee ro bebeen.
Abeeyeh roshaneh. Behesh meegan ‘Eastern Bluebird”
Leyla: Abee we’ve learned before means ‘blue’. Roshan is bright. So, it’s bright blue. Abeeyeh roshaneh.
Matt: Abeeyeh roshaneh
Leyla: Behesh meegan is also another important phrase. It means they call it. Behesh meegan
Matt: Behesh meegan.
Leyla: And he says the name of that particular bird, which is eastern bluebird. The picture associated with this lesson is of an eastern bluebird-‐ make sure to have a look at it because it is truly beautiful. So behesh meegan Eastern Bluebird
Matt: Behesh meegan easter bluebird.
Leyla: All right, let’s listen to the entire dialogue again, and hopefully this time you’ll understand it from start to finish
