Simple Abbreviations For Be-Verb

Salom!
  
man yousef hastam 
i am yousef

so to simplify the verb in colloquil speech, just ommit everything except for the noun and the suffix -am like in the example below:

yousef-am 
i'm yousef

the same goes to the example below, ommit everything including the first pronoun and just put the suffix -am after the adjective:

man khub hastam 

i am good

khub-am 
i'm good

for this example, it is because of the formal second person pronoun that the suffix changed to -id:

shoma khub hastid 
you are good 

khub-id 
you're good
