Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation Lesson 26.

Hello and welcome to Learn Persian with Chai in Conversation, the podcast for anyone looking to learn conversational Persian.

My name is Leila and I'll be your teacher for the course.

And my name is Matt and I will be learning Persian along with you.

Chaya Conversation will teach you conversational Persian in weekly lessons of about 15 minutes each.

If you know anything about Iranians, they don't do anything without first grabbing a cup of tea,

or as they call it, Chai.

So pour yourself a cup and join us in learning the Persian language.

Welcome to Lesson 26. We're so glad you've joined us.

As always, remember that bonus materials, as well as all

of our previous lessons, can be found on our website at www.cha and conversation.com, with chai spelled

C-H-A-I. And we'll talk about that more later. For now, Matt, are you ready to begin the lesson?

Ready.

Great. Then let's begin to learn Persian with Chai and conversation.

We're going to take a break from verbs this week and learn some vocabulary for preposition words. As you know,

preposition words allow you to talk about the location of one object in relation to another

object. So these are pretty important part of any language vocabulary. Let's go through a few

prepositional words now. The word for on is ruye. In conversational speech, the ye gets dropped and the word

becomes simply ru. Rue. Under is zere. So let's say the book is on the table. The word for table is mis. Mez. So,

Ketab ruye mize. And as we mentioned before, the ye might be dropped so it could sound like

Ketab ru-mise. Ketab, Rue, Mise.

So how about the telephone is under the table?
