informal conversation in Spoken and Written forms
Persian/Farsi is a language which has two basic conversation forms:
1- Informal: which we are learning in this section.
2- Formal: we will learn in next section.
The informal form is used for familiar people, people you are very close to and friends.
Note: Even though you are very close to your father/ grandfather, you address him in the formal form to show respect.
Spoken is the way native speakers converse, in personal letters, emails, modern Poetry.
Written: is the form is mainly used in writing and broadcast news.
When speaking the Persian language, we use different form than we write! ( another word in some ways we shorten the words in speaking conversations).
