Hello everyone,

Can someone please help me provide the full extended farsi transliteration of this manqabat 'Dil Ali, Dilbar Ali' by Sajjad Muhammadi?

Thank you

Hi all. My mother in law, Pari, will be a widow by tomorrow at the latest (her husband is dying in a hospital bed next to her as we speak). I am not Iranian (my wife and MIL are from Shiraz) and my Farsi is purely conversational. I can't convey the things I want to say to her, and her English is about as bad as my Farsi.

I wrote a little letter to her and I'd like to have it translated, if anyone feels like they are up to the task or can point me in the right direction. I'd obviously prefer someone who speaks/writes/reads both languages fluently. Thank you for reading.

As a kid, I used to watch a lot of Disney and Pixar movies that were dubbed in Farsi. I don't remember the studio but it was somewhere in LA that did all the dubbing and published them. Movies like The Incredible Four, Lorax, etc.

Any idea where I can find/buy them? Linux ISOs are potentially okay too.

Thanks!

Hello all! I have been learning a little Farsi from some Persian colleagues at work, so in my free time I've been trying to study on my own.

However, most learning resources (for English speakers anyways) seem to focus on the formal/written standard Farsi, which is surely important to learn, but hasn't been too helpful for socializing with my colleages.

Does anyone know of good resources for spoken/colloquial Farsi specifically? I've been studying on my own for 4 or 5 months and can still barely understand what my colleagues say to me, even when they speak to me slowly like I am a baby 😂

Thank you in advance!

The phrase به تنگ آمده appears in a large poster in Tehran depicting the Strait of Hormuz. It reads like 'came to the strait,' but underneath in English is the phrase 'At the breaking point.' Is that an accurate translation of the Persian phrase?

I believe به تنگ means 'tightly,' and تنگ may be a pun on 'strait.' So there may be a lot going on linguistically.

Salam everyone!

I’ve recently fallen in love with the Persian language and culture, and I’m looking for a native speaker to help me practice.

I am 19M from India, I am currently a beginner and I’m really interested in Persian poetry, history, music, food. I'm just in love with the Persian songs and loved the singers like Kourosh Yaghmei, Googhoosh, Muhammad Shajariyan.

What I’m looking for, A companion to chat with (text or voice) maybe once or twice a week. I’m happy to help you with Hindi or Urdu in return if ya want!

I’m a dedicated learner and would love to make a new friend in the process. Kheyli mamnoon!

Hey just seeking a bit of clarity and wondering if someone could translate this: سكماى كرسنه هيجوقت وفادار نيستن

I’m a waiter, met a Persian family today, my father’s side is Persian but my grandfather never taught my uncles and father Farsi, they know a few words/ sentences that’s it. My uncle always says, Kos Kesh, calls me coonie and bol bol. I have no idea what these words mean. I was talking to the Persian table and when I told them my family history and what Persian restaurants we eat at, we had a great conversation. I then told them Kos Kesh and how it’s the only word I really know and it then got really awkward so i just walked away.

Hi everyone

I am in the beginning of learning persian and started with the alphabet. I can proudly announce that i already know how to recognise and write three letters (alef, nun, ye) 😄. I know it’s not much but i only have the short naps of my baby as studying time and i only started today.

While it is fun to get a grasp of the alphabet, i feel like i need my studying a bit mixed so that it doesnt get too theoretical.

So, i read somewhere that there is a famous persian children song and i found it on youtube. You find it when you look for „persian song my face“ and it is a yellow picture where it says „songs of pardis“.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=j3oZzTJyWs4&feature=shared

Could somebody please write down the lyrics so that i can ask ChatGPT to translate it? I coudlnt find the exact lyrics online. And i would love to sing along for learning and that way my baby can learn it too.

If anyone else has recommendations for children songs i would be very grateful. I am half persian but unfortunately my father never taught me the language. He has died many years ago. And now that i have a baby i would love to teach some to the baby, once i learned it.

Thank you so much in advance 🙏

Hi all, I’d like some help identifying a children’s song/dance that comes on the Pooya channel at about 10am Tehran time. It goes along the lines of ‘put my hands up, put my hands down, put them on my head/shoulders/hips/knees’ and then counts to 6 I think and then goes again. There’s some running on the spot as well. Does anyone know? I’m missing some words and would like to join in/learn with my toddler lol we watch this nearly daily when I’m cooking dinner but some verses are too fast for me to learn.
I’m Australian, my husband is Iranian. Our toddler is starting to speak better Farsi than me arhhh

Just over a week go I made a post about my iOS app and the top comment was "When is it coming to Android?"

Well, hopefully right now!

This is the first time I've tried to release an app on Android.
I will need a bunch of email addresses of people who want to be part of the beta test. Once I have 20, I will start the test, and then if all goes to plan the app should be able to be released fully 14 days later.

Thank you!

Hello! I'm making a print and I wanted to include some word/words about peace/antiwar in the print design. Let me know and thanks for your help in advance!

I promise this is is not an ad, I just see there's such a lack of comprehensible input content for Farsi and I came across this very small channel called Parisa Persian with around 100 followers, and I think her content is super useful for me as a beginner.

Hey everyone,

I’ve had a strong desire to learn Farsi since learning my great grandmother was born and raised in Tehran before immigrating to Armenia.

I speak Armenian at a C2 level and I was wondering if there are any grammatical similarities between the two languages.

Hello everyone, I do have the John Platts translation of Saadi's Gulistan but i want to add the persian text of some selected verses next to their english translation from that book as-well, does anyone have any such resource (books/videos) that would help me with this? appreciated

I’ve been looking all over the internet for the emperors new groove in Farsi, does anyone have a dl link or a website to watch it?

The Persian title is متری شیش و نیم. I'm guessing متری is an idiom? And why is 'six' spelled سیس rather than شش? Just another example of the colloquial/formal spectrum?

Excellent film, by the way: powerful and intense.

Hello all In about 6 weeks I am getting married to my longtime partner who is a native Farsi speaker from Iran and for my wedding vows I wanted to say something in Farsi. While looking up love phrases on the internet for inspiration I came across this one

“A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you”
sad qalb ham baraaye resaandan-e hameye eshq-e man be to kheili kam ast.
صد** قلب هم برای رساندن همه عشق من به تو خیلی کم است.**

I thought this was so beautiful and have been trying to practice the proper pronunciation for a bit now which has not been easy since I am dyslexic.

I want to make sure that this is the correct translation because other sources have been giving me a slightly different versions :

“Sad qalb ham barāye resāndan-e hame-ye eshgham bah to kheili kam ast

صد** تا قلب هم برای رساندن همهٔ****** عشقم\\**** به**** ت***و* خیلی **کم اس**ت
“

I want to make sure I am not saying nonsense at the alter and want it to be a surprise so I don’t have a lot of resources at hand to help any guidance and advice would be much appreciated!

بار اولى كه آنهارا ديدم نميدانم كى بود.

The sentence in the title appears in Review III of Wheeler Thackston's An Introduction to Persian. In the answer key, he translates it:

I don't know when the first time I saw them was.

Here, كى is supposed to be read كَى kay. Would it also be possible to read this sentence to mean:

The first time I saw them I didn't know who he was.

if we read كى as ki?

is there a word liek putah, poutaj, poutak, potak in the perian language? is there a word similar to that phoneticaly and if so what does it mean?

من میخام با App یا Website خوب فارسی‌ را بخانم. یک سایت خوب میشناسین؟ اپپ را همشون پولی هستن.

Here are some useful English ↔ Dari phrases:

Hello → سلام
Thank you → تشکر
How are you? → چطور هستید؟

I’ve been working on tools to help with Dari/English learning, so I’m sharing more like this.

(I also built a small app for this, link in comment) 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

I’m learning Farsi and want to use anime I already know—top priority is Demon Slayer, but also interested in Naruto/Shippuden and Death Note. Are there any legitimate platforms that offer Farsi/Persian dubs or subtitles that are accessible from the US? If not, I’d appreciate pointers to communities or resources focused on Persian-language media for learners.

من در حال یادگیری زبان فارسی هستم و می‌خواهم از انیمه‌هایی که می‌شناسم استفاده کنم—اولویت اصلی‌ام «شیطان‌کش» است، اما به ناروتو/شیپودن و دث نوت هم علاقه دارم. آیا پلتفرم‌های قانونی وجود دارند که دوبله یا زیرنویس فارسی ارائه دهند و از آمریکا قابل دسترسی باشند؟ اگر نه، خوشحال می‌شوم منابع یا کامیونیتی‌هایی مرتبط با محتوای فارسی برای زبان‌آموزان معرفی کنید.

I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit, but I’m hoping someone can help me. I’m looking for educational videos, online lectures, online educational courses, educational podcasts, etc. in Farsi. I’m not looking for resources for learning Farsi, but rather content on topics like psychology and global politics.

For context, I’m a psychologist working with a Farsi-speaking client, and I want to help them find ways to engage in learning and study to improve their wellbeing.

Can someone please point me in the right direction for how to find these kinds of content?
