| John: meaning "welcome to." Can you break this down for us? |
| Mehrnaz: First is خوش , meaning “good” or “well,” then آمد. |
| John: This is “to come,” conjugated in second person plural. |
| Mehrnaz: You can also say خوش اومدین, which is less formal, or خوش اومدی, which is informal, when talking to one person. |

| John: ...which means "Welcome to Iran!" |
| John: Okay, what's the next word? |
| Mehrnaz: خوش بگذره(بگذرد) |
| John: meaning "Have a pleasant time,” “Have fun." Can you explain this phrase for us too? |

| Mehrnaz: Then there’s بگذره, the colloquial and subjunctive form of the verb بگذرد. |

| John: Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| John: In this lesson, you'll learn about the suffix for the second person plural. So first, what is this suffix? |
| Mehrnaz: It’s ید. This is the personal ending for the second person plural. |
| John: As you already know, when you add these pronoun personal endings to nouns and adjectives, they’re the conjugation of the verb “to be.” |
| Mehrnaz: So ید, id means “are.” |
| John: Why would you use this suffix? |
| Mehrnaz: If you use the second or third person plural to talk about one person, then it’s polite and honorific. |
| John: Okay. So you can use this to talk about older people, strangers, customers, and teachers. |
| Mehrnaz: That’s right. For example, شما پرستارید؟ |
| John: “Are you a nurse?” That’s in second person singular, honorific form. Notice that the same sentence in a different context can mean “Are you nurses?” |
| Mehrnaz: Right, that’s the case if we’re talking to a group of people. |
| John: Is there any difference between the written and spoken forms? |
| Mehrnaz: In daily speech and spoken language, you can change the -id to -in. |
| John: Making that change makes it easier to pronounce. |
| Mehrnaz: Right. For example, خوبین شما؟ (khoobin shomaa?) |
| John: “You OK?” Let’s hear some more examples. |
| Mehrnaz: می گیرین (می گیرید) |
| John: “You get” or “you receive.” |
| Mehrnaz: سئوال می پرسین ( می پرسید) |
| John: “You ask questions.” |
| Mehrnaz: خوابیدین (خوابیدید) |
| John: “You slept.” |
| Mehrnaz: Here’s a sample sentence اینو (این را) ببرین (ببرید) اتاق ۲۰۳ |
| John: “Take this to room 203.” |
| Mehrnaz: تو (در) فارسی به wall چی میگین (چه می گویید)؟ |
| John: “What do you call ‘wall’ in Persian?” |
Outro |
| John: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Mehrnaz: خداحافظ (khodaahaafez) |
