In this lesson, we will learn how to ask and talk about other people's daily routines in Iranian Persian. It's important to be able to talk about other people's routines as it helps us understand their lives and build connections with them. So, let's get started!
Asking about someone's daily routine[edit | edit source]
To ask about someone's daily routine, we can use the following question:
معمولاً روزها چه کارهایی انجام می‌دهید؟ Ma'mulan ruzha chih karha'i anjam midahid? What do you usually do during the day?
Let's break down the question:
- معمولاً (ma'mulan) means "usually". - روزها (ruzha) means "during the day". - چه کارهایی (chih karha'i) means "what activities". - انجام می‌دهید (anjam midahid) means "do you do".
Here are a few examples of how to use this question:
| Iranian Persian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| معمولاً روزها چه کارهایی انجام می‌دهید؟ | Ma'mulan ruzha chih karha'i anjam midahid? | What do you usually do during the day? |
| معمولاً صبح‌ها چه کارهایی انجام می‌دهید؟ | Ma'mulan sobha chih karha'i anjam midahid? | What do you usually do in the mornings? |
| معمولاً بعد از ظهر چه کارهایی انجام می‌دهید؟ | Ma'mulan ba'd az zohr chih karha'i anjam midahid? | What do you usually do in the afternoons? |
