| POST |
| John: Listen again to شبنم (Shabnam)'s post. |
| Mehrnaz: اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) shegeft angizeh(shegeft angiz ast).) |
| John: "Listen to this. It's amazing." |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) shegeft angizeh(shegeft angiz ast).) |
| (Regular) اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) shegeft angizeh(shegeft angiz ast).) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Listen to this." |
| Mehrnaz: اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) ) |
| John: This phrase literally means “give your ear,” which is pretty close to “listen” in English. Listen again - "Listen to this" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) ) (REGULAR) اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) ) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "It's amazing / It's wonderful." |
| Mehrnaz: شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Shegeft angizeh (shegeft angiz ast).) |
| John: First is… |
| Mehrnaz: شگفت (Shegeft) |
| John: Meaning "surprise.” Next… |
| Mehrnaz: انگیز (angiz) |
| John: Meaning "exciting, stimulating." All together, this literally means exciting and surprising. The closest translation in English is "wonderful" or "amazing." Listen again - "It's amazing / It's wonderful" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Shegeft angizeh (shegeft angiz ast).) |
| (REGULAR) شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Shegeft angizeh (shegeft angiz ast).) |
| John: All together, "Listen to this. It's amazing." |
| Mehrnaz: اینو[(این رو)/(این را)] گوش بدید(بدهید). شگفت انگیزه ( شگفت انگیز است). (Ino[(in ro)/(in raa)] goosh bedid(goosh bedahid) shegeft angizeh(shegeft angiz ast).) |
