Summary
In this Persian / Farsi lesson, we learn how to talk about possession. We start the lesson by learning the example of a house (khooné). To say 'my house', you simply say 'khooneyé man'. In order to talk about possession, we have to learn the different words for groups of people, which are:
- me: man
- you (informal): tō
- you (formal): shomā
- our: mā
- their: ānhā
- his/her: eeshoon
We then learn to ask who owns a certain belonging, and then learn the vocabulary words for different places around town.
KEY CONCEPTS:
- Possession
- How to ask who owns something
- Vocabulary for places around town
