Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In this lesson we’ll introduce you to a crucial phrase for all you travellers, who are interested in learning more about the tourist attractions you’re going to visit. Learning about the history and the cultural significance of places you visit can be just as rewarding as seeing them. So now we’ll cover “Do you have an English information guide?”
GRAMMAR POINT
In Persian, “Do you have an English guide?” is
Yek rahnama be zabaneh Inglissi darid?
Yek rahnama be zabaneh Inglissi darid?
Once more:
Yek rahnama be zabaneh Inglissi darid?
Let’s break it down:
The first word, Yek, as we already know is “one”, and rahnama means “guide”.
(slow) Yek rahnama
Yek rahnama
Next we have be zabanaeh, which together means “in language”.
(slow) be zabanaeh
be zabanaeh
This is followed by Inglissi which means “English” and darid or “do you have?”
(slow) Inglissi darid?
Inglissi darid?
All together, we have
(slow) Yek rahnama be zabaneh Inglissi darid?
Yek rahnama be zabaneh Inglissi darid?
To ask for a guide in a different language, we can just replace the word for “English” with the word for any other language and it works just fine. Let’s try “French” in Persian.
“Do you have a French guide?” is
Yek rahnama be zabaneh Farance darid?
(slow) Yek rahnama be zabaneh Farance darid?
Yek rahnama be zabaneh Farance darid?
The only thing that changes is the language you are looking for. In this case it’s Farance
(slow) Farance
Farance
Piece of cake!
