Persian (New Persian, Farsi, زبان فارسی) is the leading language of the Iranian group of the Indo-European family of languages, with a rich centuries-old literary tradition, including recognized masterpieces of world literature. Modern Farsi is a pluricentric language (diasystem), splitting into three closely related variants, recognized as official languages as separate national languages in three Asian countries: Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Of these, the most famous and influential is the Farsi of the Islamic Republic of Iran ("Western Farsi" or Farsi proper).
The writing of the Farsi and Dari languages is the Persian alphabet, created on the basis of the Arabic script, supplemented with several signs for sounds that are absent in the Arabic language.
- Since the Farsi language is Aryan (Indo-European), pronunciation is not a fundamental obstacle for the Russian-speaking. By and large, there are only two unfamiliar sounds: a fluent "x" and a long "a". You shouldn't worry about "x" - the locals themselves do not really distinguish between them in conversation, but "a long" (hereinafter "A") should be mastered - this is fundamentally. It is something in between the Russian "a" and "o", and closer to the "o". Lips should be positioned as if you are saying "o", and try to pronounce "a". If it doesn't work, just say a long "o"! Below I marked "A" only where it stands out in articulation.
- When compiling a phrasebook, I consider the simplicity of a phrase to be much more important than its correctness.
- If several Persian words correspond to one Russian word (expression) in the phrasebook, it is recommended to use the first one in the list. The second-third is given so that you can understand them in the mouths of the locals.
- Interrogative intonation in Farsi is close to Russian
- To enhance the effect of a word in Farsi, doubling is widely used. For example, if you want to get off while hitchhiking, but the driver does not understand how to get out into the desert, shout "voice-voice", which sounds like "stop!"
- Stress in Farsi is always on the last sound!
Russian phrases here usually correspond to the order of words in the translation, so they sound strange, but the meanings of individual words are clear.

✨Tips✨
In Persian, “merci” is used to mean “thank you”.
Persian speakers (self-name - Farsi) use many words that came from English to denote modern technology - computers, modems, radio, TV, etc. However, the pronunciation is slightly different from English.
Farsi is most different in Iran. Farsi, which is spoken in Afghanistan, will be perfectly understood by any Iranian. The difference between them is like between local dialects of the Russian language. The same goes for the difference between Farsi and Tajik, which is spoken in Tajikistan and, in part, in Uzbekistan. Dari is just another name for Farsi. The name of the language, by the way, comes from the root “dar”, which in Proto-Indo-European meant “door” (compare with Russian “door” and English “door”). In the case of Dari, the door of the royal palace is meant - Dari was the language of the upper class of society.
Dari is a dialect of Persian spoken in Afghanistan, but there are still serious differences between these two forms of the language.
Google Translate will help you translate something into Persian, as well as give you an idea of how the word should be pronounced (click on the microphone icon on the side of the screen where the word in Persian is entered).

Dear readers! I do not pretend to have an absolute knowledge of the Persian language (Farsi), but the material that I publish below was quite enough for me to go around half of Iran without any problems. I will publish in parts. For those interested, stay tuned for the following posts. So, let's begin.
Concise grammar:
1. The letter ﺍ (Aleph) is read briefly and relaxed. It looks like in Russian in the words ball, part. All initial vowels are written with aleph. The letter Aleph is not written in the middle of a word.
2. The letter آ - aleph-madda reads more like a long "o". In the phrasebook, it is indicated as “ O". In the middle of the word, it is denoted without a dash "madda" above, like the usual aleph, but it reads closer to the long "o".
3. Consonant voiced sounds are not stunned.
4. The letter و (wow) at the beginning of a word and between vowels is read as "in". Between consonants and at the end of a word, like "y", "o", "oh".
5. The sounds "w" and "z" are always pronounced softly.
6. The stress usually falls on the last syllable.
7. The plural is formed with the suffix "-ho". For animate objects only with the "-on" suffix.
8. After the word "chand" (how many) and after the numerals, the singular is used.
9. Words are linked into one combination using the possessive suffix "-е" (after consonants) and "-ye" (after vowels). For example: dar-eh O not (house door), x O no-ye pedar (father's house). The same suffix is used in words that indicate location.
10. Adjectives join as well. For example: n O n-e tose (fresh bread), n O n-e gyarm-e tose (fresh warm bread).
11. Adjectives are placed after nouns and the suffix "-е" or "-ye". Only the superlative adjective is put in front of the noun. For example: bozorgtarin hone (largest house).
12. The comparative degree is indicated by the suffix "-tar". Excellent - suffix
"-Tarin". Superlative adjectives are placed before the noun, and comparative ones after.
13. From the word "good", the degrees of comparison are not formed corrected: khub - bekhtar - bekhtarin.
14. The word "chizi" (something) is placed before the verb, in the case of the negative form of the verb it is translated as "nothing".
15. In colloquial speech, the long vowel aleph-madda (o) in front of the nasal letters "n" and "m" is pronounced like the sound "y". For example: mikh O us - mihunam (I read), x O no-hune (home).
16. In colloquial speech, a short link "-ast" and a personal ending of 3 pages. number units "-ad" are pronounced like "-e". Example: dorost-ast = more expensive (correct), dorad = dore (he has), mihonad = mihune (he reads).
17. Afterword "-r O"Denotes certain, not kl. item.
18. The sound ـق is designated in this phrasebook by the letter combination "kg", which sounds like one piece.

The answer to hello Aleikum al-sal O m.
