| INTRODUCTION |
| John: Must-Know Persian Social Media Phrases Season 1. Lesson 8 - Feeling Exhausted. |
| John: Hi everyone, I'm John. |
| Mehrnaz: And I'm Mehrnaz. |
| John: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Persian about being exhausted. شبنم (Shabnam) feels exhausted after a long day at work, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Mehrnaz: پایان یک روز شلوغ و خسته کننده! (paayaan-e yek rooz-e shooloogh va khasteh konandeh!) |
| John: Meaning - "The end of a busy and tiring day." Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| John: Listen again to شبنم (Shabnam)'s post. |
| Mehrnaz: پایان یک روز شلوغ و خسته کننده! (paayaan-e yek rooz-e shooloogh va khasteh konandeh!) |
| John: "The end of a busy and tiring day." |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) پایان یک روز شلوغ و خسته کننده! (paayaan-e yek rooz-e shooloogh va khasteh konandeh!) (Regular) پایان یک روز شلوغ و خسته کننده! (paayaan-e yek rooz-e shooloogh va khasteh konandeh!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "the end of." |
| Mehrnaz: پایان (paayaan-e) |
| John: The first word is… |
| Mehrnaz پایان ,(paayaan), "the end." |
| John: But when we use it in a phrase, we add "e" at the end of it. |
| Mehrnaz: پایان ,(Paayaan-e). It means "the end of…." |
| John: Listen again- "The end of" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) پایان (paayaan-e) (REGULAR) پایان (paayaan-e) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "a busy and tiring day." |
| Mehrnaz: یک روز شلوغ و خسته کننده! (yek rooz-e shooloogh va khasteh konandeh) |
| John: The first phrase |
| Mehrnaz: خسته کننده, (khasteh konandeh) |
| John: means "tiring," "exhausting." It might be exhaustion caused by hard labor or mental work. |
| Mehrnaz: Or, just because of a slow and unproductive day. |
| John: Listen again- "a busy and tiring day" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) یک روز شلوغ و خسته کننده! (yek rooz-e shooloogh va khasteh konandeh) (REGULAR) یک روز شلوغ و خسته کننده! (yek rooz-e shooloogh va khasteh konandeh) |
