Hi everyone, I am Sara and this is Persian made EZ, episode 2. 

One way to say “how are you?” in Persian is to use, “chetor i?” and, “chetor in?”.

We use “chetor i”, with the “i” ending, when we’re talking to one person in an informal setting, for example when talking to a friend or family.

And we use “chetor in”, with the “in” ending, either when we’re talking to one person in a formal setting, or to more than one person in both formal and informal situations. 

It's also very common in person to ask, “khub i?” and, “khub in?” when we're greeting each other.

“Khub” means “good”, “well”, or “fine”, so “khub i?” and “khub in?” literally mean, “are you fine?” or, “are you doing well?”

You can also put “khub i?” and “khub in?” together with “chetor i?” and “chetor in?”, and greet each other like this: 

Salām! Chetor i? Khub i? (Informal, Singular)

Or

Salām! Chetor in? Khub in? (Formal / Plural)

We can answer “chetor i?” and “khub i?” with, “khub am, merci!” and, “khub am, kheili mamnun!”, or, “bad nistam, merci!” and, “bad nistam, kheili mamnun!”.

And then we can ask, “to chetor i?” and, “to khub i?” or, “shomā chetor in?” and, “shomā khub in?”.

Now let’s practice! 

Dialogue 1

Salām! Chetor i? 
Salām! Khub am, merci! To chetor i?
Khub am, kheili mamnun! 

Dialogue 2

Salām! Chetor i? Khub i?
Salām! Bad nistam, kheili mamnun! To khub i?
Khub am, merci! 

Persian Script

سَلام: hello, hi

خوبَم: I'm fine
بَد نیستَم: I'm not bad

Persian Made Easy, Episode 2

Kapımı çalıp durma ölüm,
Açmam;
Ben ölecek adam değilim.

Alıştım bir kere gökyüzüne;
Bunca yıllık yoldaşımdır bulutlar.
Sıkılırım,
Kuşlar cıvıldamasa dallarında,
Yemişlerine doymadığım ağaçların,
Yağmur mu yağıyor,
Güneş mi var,
Farketmeliyim
Baktığım pencereden.
Deniz görünmeli çıksam balkona.
Tamamlamalı manzarayı
Karlı dağlarla sürülmüş tarlalar.
Ekmekten olamam doğrusu,
Nimet bildiğim;
Sudan geçemem,
Tuzludur teneffüs ettiğim hava.
Ya nasıl dururum olduğum yerde,
Öyle upuzun yatmış,
İki elim yanıma getirilmiş,
Hareketsiz,
Sükûta râmolmuş;
Sanki devrilmiş bir heykel?

Ellerim ne der sonra bana?
Soğumuş kalbime ne cevap veririm?
Utanmaz mıyım ayaklarımdan?

Kalkmalıyım,
Dolaşmalıyım,
Sokaklarda, parklarda.
El sallamalıyım
Giden trenlere,
Kalkan vapurlara.
Bilmeliyim,
Gölgelerin boyundan,
Saatin kaç olduğunu...
Islık çalmalıyım.
Türkü söylemeliyim
Yol boyunca,
Keyfimden ya hüznümden.
Geçmiş günleri hatırlamalıyım,
Dalıp dalıp akarsuya,
Hayaller kurmalıyım,
Güzel geleceğe dair.
Yanımdan geçenler olmalı,
Selâm almalıyım;
Robenson'u düşünmeliyim,
Garipliğini:
Şükretmeliyim
İnsanlar arasında olduğuma.
Nedir ki eninde sonunda ölüm?
Ayrı düşmek değil mi aşinalardan?

Kapımı çalıp durma ölüm,
Açmam;
Ben ölecek adam değilim.
