First Lesson On Introducing Ourselves

Shalom!!!

When we are in a new place or meeting new people, we tend to greet people and telling others who are we right? So the thing that I am going to put here is about introducing ourselves.

Salom, man Ali hastam!
Salaam, I am Ali!

Then we ask people back and the simple way is just saying:

Shoma?
You?

Let us try making a dialogue for example:

Ali: Salom! Man Ali hastam. Shoma?
Ahmed: Salom! Man Ahmed hastam. Shoma khub hastid?
Ali: Man khub hastid, mamnoon.

Some points that we need to remember. Shoma is a plural second pronoun but also could be used for formal situation referring to second person. Also the word hastam after the noun indicating the be verb am in the sentence man Ali hastam.

Khub means good and mamnoon means thanks. I think this is enough for now. I will have to jot it down again in Farsi script. Hope that anyone who passed by could help me to learn Farsi by correcting what is wrong in the notes or simply providing exercise, hehe. Thank you!
