Lesson 2: Introducing yourself and others

In this lesson, you will learn how to introduce yourself and others in Iranian Persian. Introductions are an important part of any conversation and can help you establish connections with new people. You will also learn how to ask about names and professions, which are common questions when meeting someone for the first time. Let's get started!

Vocabulary

First, let's learn some basic vocabulary related to introductions:

Iranian Persian Pronunciation English Translation

تو to You

ما ma We
شما shoma You (formal)
آنها anha They
نام nam Name

Introducing Yourself

When introducing yourself in Iranian Persian, you can say "من" (man) followed by your name. For example, if your name is Ali, you would say "من علی هستم" (man Ali hastam), which means "I am Ali."

You can also include your profession when introducing yourself. For example, if you are a teacher, you would say "من علی معلم هستم" (man Ali moallem hastam), which means "I am Ali, a teacher."

Let's practice some examples:

  • من سارا هستم. (Man Sara hastam.) - I am Sara.
  • من امیر حسین هستم. (Man Amir Hossein hastam.) - I am Amir Hossein.
  • من مهسا معلم هستم. (Man Mahsa moallem hastam.) - I am Mahsa, a teacher.

Introducing Others

To introduce someone else, you can use the phrase "او" (u) followed by their name. For example, if you want to introduce your friend Ali, you would say "او علی است" (u Ali ast), which means "He is Ali."

You can also include their profession when introducing them. For example, if Ali is a doctor, you would say "او علی دکتر است" (u Ali doctor ast), which means "He is Ali, a doctor."

Let's practice some examples:

  • او مریم است. (U Maryam ast.) - She is Maryam.
  • او رضا مهندس است. (U Reza mohandes ast.) - He is Reza, an engineer.
  • او محمد حسین دانشجو است. (U Mohammad Hossein daneshjoo ast.) - He is Mohammad Hossein, a student.

Asking About Names

When asking someone's name in Iranian Persian, you can say "نامتان چیست؟" (nametan chist?), which means "What is your name?"

To ask someone's surname, you can say "فامیلتان چیست؟" (familetan chist?), which means "What is your surname?"

Let's practice some examples:

  • نامتان چیست؟ (Nametan chist?) - What is your name?
  • فامیلتان چیست؟ (Familetan chist?) - What is your surname?

Asking About Professions

To ask someone's profession in Iranian Persian, you can say "حرفه‌تان چیست؟" (harefetan chist?), which means "What is your profession?"

Let's practice some examples:

  • حرفه‌تان چیست؟ (Harefetan chist?) - What is your profession?
  • شغل شما چیست؟ (Shoghl-e shoma chist?) - What is your occupation?

Cultural Tips

- In Iranian Persian culture, it is common to address people by their first names, even in formal settings. However, in more conservative or professional environments, using titles and last names may be more appropriate.

- Iranians value politeness and respect when interacting with others. When meeting someone for the first time, it is customary to greet them with a warm smile and a handshake.

- Iranians often inquire about a person's health and well-being as a way of showing concern and empathy. It is common to ask "حال شما خوب است؟" (hal-e shoma khoob ast?), which means "Are you well?"

- When introducing yourself or others, it is polite to wait for your turn to speak and not interrupt others. This shows respect and consideration for the person speaking.

Practice

Now it's time to practice what you have learned. Use the vocabulary and phrases from this lesson to introduce yourself and others. You can practice with a friend, a family member, or even by speaking to yourself in front of a mirror. The more you practice, the more confident you will become in using these greetings and introductions.
