اول
اول (avval) means first or at first and is one of the most-used sequence words in Persian, borrowed from Arabic and now fully at home in both casual speech and formal writing.
Glossary
والله
والله (vallâh) is the Persian everyday oath from Arabic meaning by God, but in real speech it works as a filler signaling sincerity, exasperation, or honest bewilderment.
پایین
پایین (pâyin) means down, below, or low and is one of the first direction words any Persian learner picks up. It covers physical location, direction of movement, and the idea of low status all in one.
امشب
امشب (emshab) means tonight or this evening. It is pure Persian, combines em (this) with shab (night), and is one of the first time words every Persian learner picks up at A1.
تمام
تمام (tamâm) means all, entire, finished, and complete. It is the word Iranians use to say something is over, to describe the whole of something, and to signal that a task is done.
نگاه
نگاه (negâh) means a look, glance, or gaze, and it pairs with کردن to form نگاه کردن, to look. One of the first action nouns a Persian learner needs, right at A1.
بنده
بنده (bande) is the humble first-person pronoun used in formal Persian to mean I or me. Literally servant, it signals respect and deference without sounding stiff to Iranian ears.
خیر
خیر (kheyr) is the formal word for no in Persian, but it also means goodness, blessing, and charity. One word that covers both polite refusal and a whole ethical tradition.
همان
همان (hamân) means “that very same” or “exactly that,” and Iranians use it to identify something precisely or to confirm without repeating themselves. Compact, unambiguous, and very useful at A2.
اجازه
اجازه (ejâze) means permission or leave, and it is the word Iranians use when asking to enter a room, leave a meeting, or borrow something. Polite and practical from the very start.
