Persian Lesson 16 – How to Say my, your, his, plus noun in persian
Hello = /sæla:m/.Salam
Welcome = /khosh a:mædid/.

Last week we learned how to say ‘my friend’ in Persian. Today, we are going to learn some more.
Let’s see how we can say the followings:
My friend
Your friend
His/her friend
Its friend
Our friend
Your friend
Their friend
Wow! Seems a Herculean job! Isn’t it?
Don’t worry! I am here to simplify the rules for you!
We already know how to say ‘my friend’. This makes our job much easier today. Let’s try it again.
My friend = /du:stæm/.
We added to the noun, which is /du:st/. And we know that we should pronounce as /æm/ in most cases.
All right. Our problem is almost over.
Now I want to say ‘your friend’. I replace /æm/ sound with /æt/sound. I will say /du:stæt/.
So,
My friend = /du:stæm/.
Doostam
Noun + /æm/.
Your friend = /du:stæt/.
Doostat
Noun + /æt/.
Note: for ‘your + noun’, like what you see above, the rule changes a bit in oral conversation. In this case, we might replace /æt/ sound with /et/ in some words. However, to avoid any confusion, just learn the rules that are applicable in written speech and forget the oral conversation at this stage.
His/her/its friend = /du:stæsh/.
Doostash
Noun + /æsh/.
Our friend = /du:stema:n/.
Doosteman
Noun + /ma:n/.
Your friend = /du:steta:n/.
Doostetan
Noun + /ta:n/.
Their friend = /du:stesha:n/.
Doosteshan
Noun + /sha:n/.
Note: as you have noticed, in the case of plural pronouns, we combine the above items with nouns with /e/ sound. Like .
Doosteman
+ /e/ sound + /ma:n/. Is that clear? Wonderful!
This is all we have to add to a noun:
/æm/.
/æt/.
/æsh/.
/ma:n/.
/ta:n/.
/sha:n/.
Am to shan
Now, replace with /keta:b/. You will say:
My book = /keta:bæm/.
Ketabam
Your book = /keta:bæt/.
Ketabat
His/her/its book = /keta:bæsh/.
Ketabash
Our book = /keta:bema:n/.
Ketabeman
Noun + /e/ sound + /ma:n/
Your book = /keta:beta:n/.
Ketabetan
Noun + /e/ sound + /ta:n/
Their book = /keta:besha:n/.
Ketabeshan
Noun + /e/ sound + /sha:n/
