Here are some useful phrases that you can use when introducing yourself or others:
== Dialogue ==


<ul>
Now that we have learned some essential vocabulary, let's practice using it in a dialogue. In this dialogue, Sara introduces herself to Ali and asks him about his name and profession.
<li>من … هستم. (Man … hastam) / I am … (name).</li>
<li>من … هستم. حرفه‌ام … است. (Man … hastam. Harefeyeam … ast.) / I am … (name). My profession is … .</li>
<li>این … است. (In … ast) / This is … .</li>
<li>آیا اسم شما چیست؟ (Aayaa esm-e shomaa chist?) / What's your name?</li>
<li>اسم شما چیست؟ (Esm-e shomaa chist?) / What's your name?</li>
<li>لطفاً خودتان را معرفی کنید. (Lotfan khodetoon ra mo'arrefi konid) / Please introduce yourself.</li>
</ul>


<h2>Cultural insights</h2>
'''Sara:''' سلام، من سارا هستم. شما چه نامی دارید؟
(Salam, man Sara hastam. Shoma che nami darid?)
Hello, my name is Sara. What is your name?


In Persian culture, names are very important and often have significant meanings associated with them. Many Persian names are derived from Arabic, Persian or ancient Zoroastrian vocabulary and have religious or cultural significance. Iranians are also proud of their family names and attach great importance to their family's genealogy.
'''Ali:''' سلام، من علی هستم. من مهندس هستم. شما چه کار می‌کنید؟
(Salam, man Ali hastam. Man mohandes hastam. Shoma che kar mikonid?)
Hello, my name is Ali. I am an engineer. What do you do?


It is customary to address people using their first name followed by their title, such as "Mohammad Agha" (Mr. Mohammad) or "Maryam Khanoom" (Ms. Maryam). Addressing someone by their first name alone may be considered too informal or impolite, especially in formal or public settings.
'''Sara:''' من دانشجو هستم. در رشته روانشناسی تحصیل می‌کنم.
(Man daneshjoo hastam. Dar reshte ravanshenasi tahsil mikonam.)
I am a student. I am studying psychology.


Professions and occupations are also an important aspect of Persian identity and social status. It is common to ask about people's professions as a way of showing interest and respect. In Iran, there are many professions that are traditionally associated with certain regions or communities, such as carpet weaving in Kashan or music in Kerman.
'''Ali:''' خیلی عالی است. بهترین شغل است. موفق باشید!
(Kheili ali ast. Behtarin shoghl ast. Movaffagh bashid!)
That's great. It's the best profession. Good luck!


<h2>Exercise: Introducing ourselves</h2>
== Grammar Point: Asking Questions ==


Now let's practice introducing ourselves in Persian. Choose a Persian name and a profession or hobby that you like, and use the vocabulary and phrases we learned to create a short introduction.  
In the dialogue above, we used question words to ask about someone's name and profession. Question words are essential in forming questions in Iranian Persian. Here are some common question words:


For example: "من سارا هستم. حرفه‌ام معلم است." (Man Sara hastam. Harefeyeam malem ast.) / I am Sara. My profession is teaching.
* چه (che) - What
* چه کسی (che kasi) - Who
* چرا (chera) - Why
* کی (ki) - When
* کجا (koja) - Where
* چطور (chetor) - How
* چند (chand) - How many


<h2>Exercise: Introducing others</h2>
To form a question, simply place the question word at the beginning of the sentence. For example:


Now let's practice introducing others in Persian. Imagine that you are introducing your friend to someone else. Use the vocabulary and phrases we learned to create a short introduction.
* چه کار می‌کنید؟ (Che kar mikonid?) - What do you do?
* کی می‌آید؟ (Ki miayad?) - When is he/she coming?
* چند سال دارید؟ (Chand sal darid?) - How old are you?


For example: "این علی است. حرفه‌اش دانشجوی پزشکی است." (In Ali ast. Harefeash daaneshjoo-ye pezeshki ast.) / This is Ali. His profession is medical student.
