POST

Mehrnaz: (SLOW) برای همهٔ شما عشق آرزو می کنم! (baraay-e hamatoon eshgh arezoo mikonam!) (Regular) برای همهٔ شما عشق آرزو می کنم! (baraay-e hamatoon eshgh arezoo mikonam!)
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "For all of you."
Mehrnaz: برای همهٔ شما (baraay-e hamey-e shomaa)
John: In this phrase, the word order is the same for Persian and English. Although this clause comes before the verb clause in Persian. Listen again - "For all of you" is...

John: Then comes the phrase - "I wish love."
Mehrnaz: عشق آرزو می کنم. (eshgh aarezoo mikonam)
John: First is...
Mehrnaz: آرزو می کنم, (aarezoo mikonam) meaning "I wish." The direct object, "love," comes before the verb.
Mehrnaz: عشق, (eshgh)
John: Listen again - "I wish love" is...
Mehrnaz: (SLOW) عشق آرزو می کنم. (eshgh aarezoo mikonam) (REGULAR) عشق آرزو می کنم. (eshgh aarezoo mikonam)
