Learn Persian with Chaiang Conversation, Lesson 44.

Hello and welcome to Learn Persian with Chai and 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.

Hello and welcome to lesson 44 of Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation.

We're so glad to have you with us.

We're continuing on with our Power series,

learning a good bit of grammar and vocabulary words to help fill in our knowledge of the Persian language,

and we're going to continue to do so in this lesson.

So lesson 21 and lesson 22 of Chai were devoted entirely to the verbs to be and

to have respectively. These are both very important verbs in the language and they both happen to have

special subjunctive stems. So we're going to devote this entire lesson to the subjunctive forms

of to be and do have. Thankfully they're both both related, so that makes it a bit easier.

Matt, what is the infinitive of to be?

Budan.

Exactly, Budan.

So the subjunctive stem of Budan is Bosch.
