Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In this lesson we shall see a very useful phrase meaning “I don’t understand.” It is useful, of course, because many times you won’t immediately pick up on what people are saying.
BODY
In Persian, “I don’t understand” is
Nemifahmam.
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Ne – mi – fah - mam.
Once more:
Nemifahmam.
Another thing you can say when you’re confused is “I don’t know,” which in Persian is
Nemidoonam.
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Ne – mi – doo - nam.
Another option is to tell someone, “I don’t know Persian.” This phrase in Persian is
Farsi balad nistam.
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Far – si Ba – lad nis - tam.
Once again:
Farsi balad nistam.
The first word, Farsi, means “Persian.”
(slow) Far - si
Farsi
This is followed by balad nistam, which means “do not know.”
(slow) ba – lad nis - tam
Balad nistam
Here’s the whole sentence:
(slow) Far – si Ba – lad nis - tam.
Farsi balad nistam.
“I don’t know Persian.”
