| POST |
| John: Listen again to بردیا (Bardiyaa)'s post. |
| Mehrnaz: سالگرد عاشقانه ما! (saalgard-e aasheghaan-ye maa!) |
| John: "Our loving anniversary!" |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) سالگرد عاشقانه ما! (saalgard-e aasheghaan-ye maa!) (Regular) سالگرد عاشقانه ما! (saalgard-e aasheghaan-ye maa!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "anniversary." |
| Mehrnaz: سالگرد (saalgard-e) |
| John: The first part... |
| Mehrnaz: سالگرد, (saalgard) |
| John: means "anniversary." It’s the celebration that takes place on... |
| Mehrnaz: سالروز, (saal rooz) |
| John: which also means "anniversary." The phrase meaning “Independence Day” also uses this word. In Persian, that’s... |
| Mehrnaz: سالروز استقلال, (saalrooz-e esteghlaal). |
| John: Listen again- "anniversary" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) سالگرد (saalgard-e) (REGULAR) سالگرد (saalgard-e) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "our loving." |
| Mehrnaz: عاشقانه ما! (aasheghaan-ye maa) |
| John: The first word… |
| Mehrnaz: عاشقانه, (aasheghaaneh) |
| John: means "loving," "romantic," "amorously," "with love," or "fondly." It can be an adjective or adverb, depending on the context. Mehrnaz, can we have another example? |
| Mehrnaz: Sure. آنها عاشقانه با هم زندگی می کردند. (aanhaa aasheghaaneh baa ham zendegi mikardand.) |
| John: "They lived fondly together." Listen again - "our loving" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) عاشقانه ما! (aasheghaan-ye maa) (REGULAR) عاشقانه ما! (aasheghaan-ye maa) |
| John: All together, "Our loving anniversary!" |
| Mehrnaz: سالگرد عاشقانه ما! (saalgard-e aasheghaan-ye maa!) |
