Lesson Transcript

Hi everyone! Iโ€™m Alisha.
Welcome to Conversational Phrases!
Weโ€™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 youโ€™ll use in real conversations.
In this lesson, weโ€™ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question โ€œHow's your mother?โ€ After watching this video, youโ€™ll be able to talk about well-being and ask how someone is doing.
Now, letโ€™s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
ุณู„ุงู… ุญุงู„ ู…ุงุฏุฑุช ฺ†ุทูˆุฑู‡ุŸ
(salaam haal-e maadaret chetore?)
ุฎูˆุจู‡.
(khoobe.)
Once more with the English translation.
ุณู„ุงู… ุญุงู„ ู…ุงุฏุฑุช ฺ†ุทูˆุฑู‡ุŸ
(salaam haal-e maadaret chetore?)
โ€œHow's your mother?โ€
ุฎูˆุจู‡.
(khoobe.)
โ€œShe's fine.โ€
First of all you'll need to learn how to say โ€œHow's your mother?โ€
That's: ุณู„ุงู… ุญุงู„ ู…ุงุฏุฑุช ฺ†ุทูˆุฑู‡ุŸ
(salaam haal-e maadaret chetore?)
Listen to it again: ุณู„ุงู… ุญุงู„ ู…ุงุฏุฑุช ฺ†ุทูˆุฑู‡ุŸ, ุณู„ุงู… ุญุงู„ ู…ุงุฏุฑุช ฺ†ุทูˆุฑู‡ุŸ
(salaam haal-e maadaret chetore?, salaam haal-e maadaret chetore?)
This Persian sentence literally translates as โ€œHello feeling your mother how?โ€
But it translates as โ€œHow's your mother?โ€ in English.
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
{state of well-being} ู€ู‡.
({state of well-being} e.)
This Persian sentence literally translates as โ€œ[state of well-being] is." We omit the article "she".
But it means โ€œSheโ€™s [state of well-being].โ€ in English.
For example:
โ€œShe's fine.โ€
ุฎูˆุจู‡., ุฎูˆุจู‡.
(khoobe., khoobe.)
