| POST |
| John: Listen again to شبنم (Shabnam)'s post. |
| Mehrnaz: سفری که بی صبرانه منتظرش بودیم. (safari keh bi sabraaneh montazeresh boodim.) |
| John: "The trip that we were impatiently looking forward to." |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) سفری که بی صبرانه منتظرش بودیم. (safari keh bi sabraaneh montazeresh boodim.) (Regular) سفری که بی صبرانه منتظرش بودیم. (safari keh bi sabraaneh montazeresh boodim.) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "The trip that." |
| Mehrnaz: سفری که (safari keh) |
| John: First is a word meaning "a trip." The word consists of... |
| Mehrnaz: سفر,(safar), |
| John: " trip" plus… |
| Mehrnaz: ی, (y) |
| John: a long "i" sound as in “seed.” The article "a" in Persian is shown by adding... |
| Mehrnaz: ی, (ye) |
| John: to the end of a noun. For example… |
| Mehrnaz: مردی (mardi) |
| John: "a man" |
| Mehrnaz: کتابی, (ketaabi) |
| John: "a book" |
| Mehrnaz: کفشی , (kafshi) |
| John: “a shoe." Listen again- "The trip that" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) سفری که (safari keh) (REGULAR) سفری که (safari keh) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "We were waiting for it impatiently." |
| Mehrnaz: بی صبرانه منتظرش بودیم (bi sabraaneh montazeresh boodim.) |
| John: The phrase consists of "without" |
| Mehrnaz: بی, (bi) |
| John: plus "patience" |
| Mehrnaz: صبر , (sabr) |
| John: plus a suffix forming adverbs from adjectives |
| Mehrnaz: انه, (aaneh) |
| John: plus "waiting for," "expecting" |
| Mehrnaz: منتظر ,(montazer) |
| John: plus the pronoun "it" |
| Mehrnaz: ش, (ash) |
| John: And finally, "we were." |
| Mehrnaz: بودیم, (boodim) |
| John: Listen again- "We were waiting for it impatiently / We were waiting impatiently for it" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) بی صبرانه منتظرش بودیم (bi sabraaneh montazeresh boodim.) (REGULAR) بی صبرانه منتظرش بودیم (bi sabraaneh montazeresh boodim.) |
| John: All together, "The trip that we were impatiently looking forward to." |
| Mehrnaz: سفری که بی صبرانه منتظرش بودیم. (safari keh bi sabraaneh montazeresh boodim.) |
