| John: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Persian about being injured. بردیا (Bardiyaa) suffers a painful injury, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Mehrnaz: زانوی راستم آسیب دیده (دیده است) (zaanooy-e raastam aasib dideh (dideh ast).) |
| John: Meaning - "My right knee has been injured." Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| John: Listen again to بردیا (Bardiyaa)'s post. |
| Mehrnaz: زانوی راستم آسیب دیده (دیده است) (zaanooy-e raastam aasib dideh (dideh ast).) |
| John: "My right knee has been injured. " |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) زانوی راستم آسیب دیده (دیده است) (zaanooy-e raastam aasib dideh (dideh ast).) (Regular) زانوی راستم آسیب دیده (دیده است) (zaanooy-e raastam aasib dideh (dideh ast).) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "My right knee." |
| Mehrnaz: زانوی راستم (zaanoo-ye raastam) |
| John: First we have... |
| Mehrnaz: زانو, (zaanoo), "knee" plus ی (ye) |
| John: Then we have... |
| Mehrnaz: راست, (raast) "right" plus م, (am), "my." |
| John: All together, that’s “my right knee.” In Persian, adjectives come after nouns. |
| Mehrnaz: And since the first word in this phrase ends in 'و' (oo) we need a linking ی, (ye). |
| John: This helps makes the pronunciation easier and more natural. Listen again - "My right knee" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) زانوی راستم (zaanoo-ye raastam) (REGULAR) زانوی راستم (zaanoo-ye raastam) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "has been injured.." |
| Mehrnaz: آسیب دیده (دیده است). (aasib dideh(dideh ast).) |
| John: That’s... |
| Mehrnaz: آسیب (aasib) |
| John: or "damage," "injury," plus... |
| Mehrnaz: دیده,(dideh),"has seen" is آسیب دیده (aasib dideh). |
| John: Literally, it means “has seen damage.” It can be translated to "has or have been injured," "has or have been damaged." Listen again - "has injured" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) آسیب دیده (دیده است). (aasib dideh(dideh ast).) (REGULAR) آسیب دیده (دیده است). (aasib dideh(dideh ast).) |
| John: All together, "My right knee has been injured. " |
| Mehrnaz: زانوی راستم آسیب دیده (دیده است) (zaanooy-e raastam aasib dideh (dideh ast).) |
