I don’t know whether my baby tomatoes have grown up enough to understand Persian or not but I’ve already started saying ten nice words to them every day. Today they got:

خانواده.family
شبنم.dew
آسمان.sky
صابون.soap
درخت.tree
نسیم.breeze
نارنجی.orange(the color)
بالش.pillow
خنده.laughter
تو.you

    I tried to grow Edelweiß, but I failed miserably… Good luck with your tomatoes! 😊

    Ooh, are you Persian? My name first name is a Persian word! My grandad lived in Afghanistan for a bit and learned Dari then.

      Yes, I live in Rasht. Aw, I’m curious to know your name🙊

      Interesting^^ I’ve never been in Afghanistan but I’ve heard Dari is intelligible for us except the time it’s spoken informally because of the differences in pronunciation and some different words.

    Recognized half of the words eventhough I don’t know Persian (I speak Urdu and it has a lot of borrowed words from different languages). I’m learning Arabic right now, should I give Persian a try too?🤔

      Oh, I’m so jealous of you! I love learning different languages but I’m a bit lazy🤦🏻‍♀️ Still trying to learn Korean🙊
      And I guess learning Persian or Farsi( as we call it here) will be easy for you after learning Arabic.
      I tried to read some texts in Urdu and I was so amazed to see the number of similar words we share. Like Urdu, Farsi has چ، ژ، گ، پ and the pronunciations aren’t difficult because the sounds don’t come from the throat (this is the reason I couldn’t learn beautiful Arabic language:( I wish I could learn it so I’d be able to read poems from Ghada Samman, Nazir Qabbani and many more in their language and not the translated ones.)
      I’m sorry I talked a lot! 😂 good luck with all the languages you learn ☺️

        Hehe I too am very lazy and the only reason I actually started studying Arabic was because studying one foreign language (aside from English which doesn’t count because we already know that very well) is mandatory in our programme. Because I’m a Muslim, Arabic language holds great significance for us, so there was never a question that if/when I learn another language it will be Arabic.
        Even Arabic and Urdu have a lot of similar letters and a few words, the pronunciations though are pretty different!
        Hehe please don’t apologise for “talking a lot” because I’m enjoying the conversation 😀

          Oh, that’s the case! I thought you’re going to learn another language in your free time just because you’re bored or something😂 silly me!
          So good luck with Arabic n maybe one day with Farsi🙊
