[ruellan2003]

great video salom!

[hedley4lyf]

by the way isnt how are you in farsi : haletun chetore instead of just chetore?

[justleyla]

@hedley4lyf And as for haletun chetore, that's a formal way of asking how someone is. The 'chetori' used in this lesson is very informal, and just one way of communicating. There are many ways to say everything!

[hedley4lyf]

@justleyla oh alright well thanks : ) this is cool, Ill be checking out the next lessons

[FTPfReetHepEople]

@justleyla No. Haletun chetoreh? is for more than one person, formally. Halet chetoreh is for one person, formally. Che khabar? is the standard what's up? as a non-formal greeting to someone of the same age group. Chetori is an almost non-questioning form of asking How are you?, semi-formally.

[justleyla]

@FTPfReetHepEople "Halet chetoreh' is definitely not formal... it's the informal 'how are you'. The conjugation for formal you and you plural are the same, and that is 'haletoon chetoreh'.

[hedley4lyf]

u talk to much before u get the point ... ahhhh!

[justleyla]

@hedley4lyf Haha, that's one way to put it. This isn't really meant to be a youtube video, it's a podcast. The intro has a lot of talking, you're right, but it's just lesson one.

hubmistam

not good



[legoboy850]

heily hubam



[FTPfReetHepEople]

@legoboy850 It is not hubam. H produces a 'ha' sound as in English. Kheli khubam, or I am very well, is pronounced with a lower-tongue spit-producing 'kha' sound. If such a word existed and was not pronouced with the 'kha' sound, it would be spelled in English letters as hoobam.
