این آقا/خانم <his/her name> است. In agha/khanom <his/her name> ast. This is Mr./Ms. <his/her name>.

کارگر Kargar Worker

Dialogue

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.

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?

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?

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.

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!

Grammar Point: Asking Questions

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:

  • چه (che) - What
  • چه کسی (che kasi) - Who
  • چرا (chera) - Why
  • کی (ki) - When
  • کجا (koja) - Where
  • چطور (chetor) - How
  • چند (chand) - How many

To form a question, simply place the question word at the beginning of the sentence. For example:

  • 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?

Practice

Now it's time to practice what you have learned. Use the vocabulary and grammar discussed in this lesson to introduce yourself and ask others about their names and professions. Here are some suggested questions to get you started:

  • سلام، من <your name> هستم. شما چه نامی دارید؟

(Salam, man <your name> hastam. Shoma che nami darid?) Hello, my name is <your name>. What is your name?

  • سلام، من <your name> هستم. من <your profession> هستم. شما چه کار می‌کنید؟

(Salam, man <your name> hastam. Man <your profession> hastam. Shoma che kar mikonid?) Hello, my name is <your name>. I am a <your profession>. What do you do?

  • من <your name> هستم. من <your profession> هستم. چطور می‌توانم به شما کمک کنم؟

(Man <your name> hastam. Man <your profession> hastam. Chetor mitavanam be shoma komak konam?) I am <your name>. I am a <your profession>. How can I help you?
