60 Persian/Farsi Sentences in simple past 

خوشحالم دوست داری. فارسیت خوبه، آفرین! عراقی های زیادی فارسی یاد میگیرن، دوست دارم یه مصاحبه با یکی از دوستان عراقی داشته باشم، دوست داری تو این مصاحبه باشی؟

😀Me too. I also listen to this video when I take a walk. I listen to the sentences in Persian and try to translate them. It's a good listening practice. Thank you Majid.

Thank you!

The phrase collection videos are without word-for-word explanation because I have already had dedicated lessons on each topic with all details, rules, and explanations. For example, you can watch my two lessons on the past tense in Farsi: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NujYg0I-Gvg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xhoC-imqfZw.html

All you have to know is that the verb goes at the end. Except for 5:59. Aslan is special. It means 'ever'

Glad it was helpful!

@@PersianLearning خیلی ممنون

dozDidan ist correct. haha it seems I predict your questions :D 'gashtan' as you said means to go around, to tour, etc, but the verb phrase 'donbaale STH gashtan' menas to look for sth

​@@PersianLearning Thank you! I've gone through all 60 phrases now. I like how you included some which are expressed quite differently to English and others that required some thought around the conceptual meaning in order to find the right words. A couple more questions: 1) no. 50 baazaar khalvat bood is it possible to say baazaar sholooghe nist, or can 'not busy' only be expressed as khalvat? 2) I was told recently to not say someone is lucky in Farsi (like in number 58) because it implies they can also bring bad luck. Maybe the context of your sentence is different, but I would appreciate your input on people being 'lucky' if you can spare the time.

you can also say it was not busy: sholoogh nabood. But the adjective 'khalvat' (which does not have a direct equivalent in English, it is sth like quiet, but in the number of people, or for streets, the number of cars) is a bit more than not busy if you ask me. Hmm, interesting, it includes many factors: situation, to whom you speak, about what you speak. If I tell somebody directly you are lucky, of course, it can have negative aspects (it is the same in your culture, I suppose), but imagine we play a game, and I say you are indeed lucky, it is quite ok, isn't it? Or for example, you cross a red light, and I say you were lucky, there was no police officer or camera there to catch you, or you go out in nice weather but you predict it can rain and take your umbrella, and then it rains cats and dogs, I would say SHANS AVORDI that you took your umbrella and many such cases. Normally the phrase Shaans avordi, because it is in the past tense, it refers to a situation, and I think you can know where and to whom it is better not to say that, I think 90% we can say that to our friends. The phrase: kheili khosh shansi (you ARE very lucky) must be used with caution, I think you know what I mean :D I hope it can help.

You're welcome 😊

Oops, you are right!!! If you find some more cases, please let me know.
