How to say "go" in Persian?
Salam!
Let's start this newsletter by a very important verb: go. In the imperative.
To tell someone to "go" in Persian, we say: "Boro". It's written like this:
برو
It has two parts: bo + ro
Let me just list a few other very common verbs in the imperative:
Begoo / tell / بگو
Bia / come / بیا
Bemaan / stay / بمان
Bekhand / smile / بخند
Beraghs / dance / برقص
Do you see how they all start with the letter B? Call me a language nerd, but I still remember the exciting moment that I realized whenever I want to tell someone to do something in Persian, the verb starts with a B.
Let's get back to "boro" which means "go" and learn an idiom too. In Persian parties when someone wants to encourage you to go and dance, they say: "Boro vasat".
برو وسط
This literally means: go to the middle. Here's a nice song with the same title, Boro Vasst, by Eendo. Can you hear "Boro" in the song?.
