POST
John: Listen again to شبنم (Shabnam)'s post.
Mehrnaz: اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) shegeft angizeh(shegeft angiz ast).)
John: "Listen to this. It's amazing."
Mehrnaz: (SLOW) اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) shegeft angizeh(shegeft angiz ast).)
(Regular) اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) shegeft angizeh(shegeft angiz ast).)
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Listen to this."
Mehrnaz: اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) )
John: This phrase literally means “give your ear,” which is pretty close to “listen” in English. Listen again - "Listen to this" is...
Mehrnaz: (SLOW) اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) ) (REGULAR) اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) )
John: Then comes the phrase - "It's amazing / It's wonderful."
Mehrnaz: شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Shegeft angizeh (shegeft angiz ast).)
John: First is…
Mehrnaz: شگفت (Shegeft)
John: Meaning "surprise.” Next…
Mehrnaz: انگیز (angiz)
John: Meaning "exciting, stimulating." All together, this literally means exciting and surprising. The closest translation in English is "wonderful" or "amazing." Listen again - "It's amazing / It's wonderful" is...
Mehrnaz: (SLOW) شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Shegeft angizeh (shegeft angiz ast).)
(REGULAR) شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Shegeft angizeh (shegeft angiz ast).)
John: All together, "Listen to this. It's amazing."
Mehrnaz: اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) shegeft angizeh(shegeft angiz ast).)
