Salām be hamegi! Man Anita hastam. Hi everybody! I’m Anita |
Welcome to PersianPod101.com’s “Persian in 3 minutes.” The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Persian. |
In the last lesson, you learned how to use the verb doost dāshtan. |
In this lesson, you will learn how to use āmadan, the fourth verb in our series dedicated to the most common Persian verbs. |
āmadan means "to come" in Persian, and we use it a lot! The past root is " āmad" and the present root is "āy, ā". |
So let’s go! bezan berim!! |
Imagine a friend of yours is organizing a road trip and he asks you: Bā mā miāyi? That means "Are you coming with us?" |
So supposing you want to go, you will answer āre, Bā shomā Miāyam! That means "Yes I’m coming with you!" |
[slowly] āre, Bā shomā Miāyam!. |
If you want to speak formally, You need to use bale instead of āre. |
So let’s break down this answer: |
First we had: |
āre which is simply "Yeah." |
Then bā, which is "with" in Persian. |
After that we have Shomā, which is the plural pronoun for "You". |
Finally we had Miāyam which is "I'm coming". Notice that it consists of Mi+āy - the present root for āmadan + am! Do you get the idea? So, altogether it is āre, Bā shomā Miāyam!. |
In Persian, āmadan is exactly the same as "to come." |
The basic meaning is "to go somewhere with someone", or to join other people. |
It is a very common verb that you should be careful not to mix up with raftan, which only means "to go to", as we’ve seen before. |
Āmadan is often used to suggest an invitation to someone. If you are organizing a party, for example, you can invite your guests by asking them Be mehmānie man miāyid? That is "are you coming to my party?" |
To answer this question, you can add something before this verb, as in āre, Bā doostānam Miāyam. Here you said "Yes, I am coming with some friends." |
The common expression to say you are coming with your girlfriend is bale/or/āre, Bā "doost e dokhtaram" Miāyam. which literally means "Yes I’m coming with my girlfriend." |
The verb āmadan is also often used as an order or as motivational advice, by prefixing be to the present root with personal endings. |
The be prefix will become bi if the first word of the verb's present root had vowels. |
For example Bā man biā! - informal or Bā man biāyid - formal, which means "Come with me!" |
Now it’s time for Anita's Advice |
When someone enters a room, or you invite someone to enter in a room, you can also use the verb āmadan. |
biā too- informal, or biāyid too - formal. |
That means "Come in!" |
There is another common phrase which is also used a lot. It is khosh āmadid / āmadi Which means “Welcome {you come with happiness}”. |
In this lesson, you learned how to use the verb āmadan to ask people to join others! |
So now, our lesson series about common Persian verbs is over, and from the next lesson, we will jump into some very important interrogative Persian words! |
Do you know how to ask questions starting with "What" in Persian? I’ll be waiting for you with the answer in the next “Persian in 3 minutes” lesson! |
Khodāfez! |
