Lesson 6: Talking about your daily routine

In this lesson, you will learn the most common verbs and expressions to talk about your daily activities in Persian. Talking about your daily routine is a great way to practice using verbs in different tenses and to expand your vocabulary. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently describe your daily activities in Persian. Let's get started!

Vocabulary

First, let's learn some useful vocabulary related to daily routines. Pay attention to the pronunciation and practice saying the words out loud. Here are some common verbs and expressions you can use to talk about your daily routine:

Iranian Persian	Pronunciation	English Translation
رفتن	raftan	to go
بیدار شدن	bidar shodan	to wake up
صبحانه خوردن	sobhaneh khoridan	to have breakfast
شستن دست و صورت	shostan-e dast va surat	to wash hands and face
دندان‌پاک کردن	dandan-pak kardan	to brush teeth
کار کردن	kar kardan	to work
ناهار خوردن	nahar khoridan	to have lunch
استراحت کردن	esterahat kardan	to rest
خرید کردن	kharid kardan	to go shopping
شام خوردن	sham khoridan	to have dinner
خوابیدن	khabidan	to sleep

Grammar

Now that you have learned some vocabulary, let's practice using it in sentences. In Persian, the verb comes after the subject in a sentence. Here's the basic sentence structure:

Subject + Verb + Object

For example:

- من به دانشگاه می‌روم. - Man be daneshgah miravam. - I go to the university.

In the sentence above, "من" (man) is the subject, "می‌روم" (miravam) is the verb, and "به دانشگاه" (be daneshgah) is the object. The verb "می‌روم" (miravam) means "go" in English.

To talk about your daily routine, you can use the present tense of verbs. In Persian, the present tense is formed by adding the suffix "-م" ("-am") to the verb stem. Here's an example:

- من می‌روم. - Man miravam. - I go.

To make a negative sentence, you can add the word "نه" (na) before the verb. For example:

- من نمی‌روم. - Man nemiram. - I don't go.

To ask a question in Persian, you can change the word order and add the word "آیا" (aya) at the beginning of the sentence. Here's an example:

- آیا تو می‌روی؟ - Aya to miravi? - Do you go?

Now, let's practice using the vocabulary and grammar we have learned in some example sentences.
