about Farsi/Persian

Okay so I though maybe I can start teaching farsi in this blog and see what happens. I noticed for people who want ton learn the language there is not a lot of resources so people usually give up. I’m going to give an introduction about the language with my knowledge.

So the Persian language is a very old language older than English. Since Persia is older than Europe it self. It went through many phases and writing systems. You’ll be surprised if you knew hoe many English words come from Persian.

It is an Indo-European language and unlike what most people think it in not related to Arabic at all.  The script is the same true, but it is a whole different language. Like English and Spanish. The farsi we use in Iran borrowed words from Arabic (while messing up the pronunciation), French, Russian and Turkish.

It is manly spoken in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. But they use different farsi. Iran uses Farsi while Afghanistan uses Dari farsi and Tajikistan uses Tajiki Farsi. They are some how different in grammar, pronunciation and the usage of words. But people from these three  country can understand each other. I am Iranian and I can perfectly understand Dari  with no problem before we studied the grammar in elementary school. In Iran we say Dari is older dan farsi and tajiki is a bit older than that since the writing is also different. And I’ve noticed that Dari uses lesser Arabic words that Farsi.

Although the script is the same with Arabic with don’t follow the same rules of pronunciation for each letter and also we don’t have all of the alphabet and we also have 4 more that doesn’t exist in arabic alphabet. 

I believe farsi is a lot easier than arabic in the terms of pronunciation but grammar …hmmm we go easy with that. Just use the verb wherever you like it doesn’t matter.

The writing is from right to left. I know it might be confusing I even when I started learning farsi I wrote from left to right because I learned how to write in English first. My mom had a hard time with me to fix this issue. 

the next post imma teach the alphabet.

the farsi/Persian language

so lately I’ve been searching on the internet just to see what people say about this language. it makes me so happy when I see some foreigner saying “farsi is such a beautiful language” and such but also I see some things that makes  me go and find the person who comments such things which most of them are Persians themselves 

I see two kinds of people:

 Persian who have a very very strong prejudice on their native language that say other language are shit and Persian is the base of Turkish and that arabic destroyed the real farsi.

there are not many Persians here in Tumblr but I really want to tell these idiots something. all  languages borrow words from each other either because of war or simply because they didn’t have a word for it in their language. all the language have done that. 

English borrowed from French and Spanish and German for example. Japanese and Korean borrowed from each other and Chinese.Turkish borrowed from farsi and Arabic.

 and farsi borrowed from Turkish and arabic and French and English and German for your information. you don't complain about borrowing from French or German.

 the word “Merci” you use 5678909876543 times EVERY DAY IS ACTUALLY FRENCH. 

you don't have no idea that we borrowed any words from Turkish. 

but when it comes to arabic you get angry. I don't know why. and sometimes what makes it funnier that person is a hard muslim that thinks that everyone needs to learn Arabic cause it’s the language of Islam

Idiots who think arabic is farsi just because the alphabet is the same. (which is not completely) 

let me give you an example. Spanish and German have the same alphabet (not really but are they the same? no

I hope you will get what I meant. their alphabet is kinda different and they come from a different family. 

if you read this till here thank you very much and if you had any questions just ask
