| Hi everyone! I’m Alisha. |
| Welcome to Conversational Phrases! |
| We’ve found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you’ll use in real conversations. |
| In this lesson, you’ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question, "What's your favorite number?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to say many numbers and ask someone their favorite number. |
| Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases! |
| Listen to the dialogue. |
| عدد مورد علاقه ی شما چیست؟ |
| (adad-e mored-e alaaqe-ye shomaa chist?) |
| هفت است. |
| (haft ast.) |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| عدد مورد علاقه ی شما چیست؟ |
| (adad-e mored-e alaaqe-ye shomaa chist?) |
| “What's your favorite number?” |
| هفت است. |
| (haft ast.) |
| “It's seven.” |
| First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What's your favorite number?” |
| That's: |
| عدد مورد علاقه ی شما چیست؟ |
| (adad-e mored-e alaaqe-ye shomaa chist?) |
| Listen to it again: |
| عدد مورد علاقه ی شما چیست؟, عدد مورد علاقه ی شما چیست؟ |
| (adad-e mored-e alaaqe-ye shomaa chist?, adad-e mored-e alaaqe-ye shomaa chist?) |
| This Persian sentence literally means “Number favorite you what?” |
| But it means “What's your favorite number?”. |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| The pattern is: |
| [number]است. ([number] ast.) |
| This Persian sentence literally means “[number] is.” |
| But it means “It's [number].” |
| For example: |

| هفت است., هفت است. |
| (haft ast., haft ast.) |
