| In the previous lesson, we covered how to ask where things are. |
| In this lesson, we'll introduce you to another useful phrase for finding the place you need. |
| This lesson's phrase is, Is there a place near here? |
| First, we need a place. Let's use the word daarookhaane, which means pharmacy. |
| daa-roo-khaa-ne. daarookhaane. |
| In Persian, Is there a pharmacy around here? is, |
| Let's break it down. |
| Once again, |
| The first word, injaahaa, means around here. |
| in-jaa-haa. injaahaa. |
| Next comes daaruookhaane, which means pharmacy. |
| After that comes hast, which means is. |
| hast. hast. |
| Altogether it's, injaahaa daarookhaane hast? |
| Instead of injaahaa meaning around here, you can also say, |
| in-naz-di-ki-haa meaning near here, nearby. |
| in-naz-di-ki-haa. |
| in-naz-di-ki-haa daarookhaane hast? Is there a pharmacy nearby? |
| in-naz-di-ki-haa daarookhaane hast? |
| in-naz-di-ki-haa daarookhaane hast? |
| To ask for a different place, we can replace the word daarookhaane with any other word and the phrase works just fine. |
| Imagine that you need to withdraw some money from your bank account. |
| In Persian, Is there an ATM near here? Is. |
| injaahaa khodpardaaz hast? |
| The only thing that changes in the thing you are looking for, in this case, khuodpardaaz. |
| The first part of the word, khod means self. |
| And pardaaz means pay. |
| So literally, a self-paying cash machine. |
| khodpardaaz. |
| khodpardaaz. |
| injaahaa khodpardaaz hast? |
| injaahaa khodpardaaz hast? |
| Okay, to close out this lesson, we would like you to practice what you have just learned. |
| I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you are responsible for shouting it aloud. |
| You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so good luck. |
| Is there a pharmacy nearby? |
| injaahaa daarookhaane hast? |
| in-jaa-haa daa-roo-khaa-ne hast? |
| injaahaa daarookhaane hast? |
| Is there an ATM near here? |
| In-naz-di-ki-haa khod-par-daaz hast? |
| Alright, that's going to do it for this lesson. |
