"-she wanted her parents to go to Iran to find her a husband that was "baquere"?? (sorry Idk what that means)"

baqeuere means virgin. like the way some men only go back to find virgin girls to marry them and bring them here

I feel really bad that nobody seems to get my facetiousness. I knew & know they're speaking Farsi, I was just kidding. AFA Farsi "sounding aggressive", it doesn't sound any more agressive than when screaming in Pushtu, French, English, Yobbo, or Porpoise. (Although when the French screamed for surrender, it startled the Germans so badly that they attacked. It was all a misunderstanding. "Nein, nein, ve sot das French & Poles ver attcking us!")

Also:

-And sometimes Farsi can make a person sound more aggressive than they mean, like sometimes when she screams angrily and yells threats at her parents, it actually means "I love your necklace" (not really lol)

-Then the dad tells the husband to handle the mic, and the husband's like "Yes I understood that..."

This is just paraphrasing what they said, but I hope you get the idea

Teenonator: Some of what she's saying:

-that she's forgotten how to say key words in Farsi, so sometimes when she wants talk about someone she'll say (in farsi) that lady is really (then in English) "fat" lol

-she wanted her parents to go to Iran to find her a husband that was "baquere"?? (sorry Idk what that means)

-so she married an English guy, who although he is English, he is "planning to convert"

-when her husband found out she was iranian, he said "do you speak Arabic?"

[teenonator]

I get that....I wish I knew what they were saying. The "not speaking English.." thing was made in jest.
