Chai & Conversation
About this episode

In this Persian / Farsi lesson, we learn how to talk about possession. We start the lesson by learning the example of a house (khooné). To say 'my house', you simply say 'khooneyé man'. In order to talk about possession, we have to learn the different words for groups of people, which are:

  • me: man
  • you (informal): tō
  • you (formal): shomā
  • our: mā
  • their: ānhā
  • his/her: eeshoon

We then learn to ask who owns a certain belonging, and then learn the vocabulary words for different places around town.


KEY CONCEPTS:

  • Possession
  • How to ask who owns something
  • Vocabulary for places around town
