mythodology I got a book about persian mythodology, and living in scandinavia I thought..."hmmm...this sound similar to what I learned about ancient norse mythodology in school" I did google for some research around the topic, and it is suprisingly sparse, here is one good link: http://www.ensignmessage.com/archives/normyth.html Can anyone recommend more? So, the persian saying today: "Kahr" is "horse" in persian? And is: "seeb derakht", "apple tree"?

So, the persian saying today:
"Kahr" is "horse" in persian?

my comment

"no, this is not true

                                        English     persian        italian 

                                        horse        asb             cavallo

                                        donkey     khar            somao,asino

as you see                         donkey is different  with horse   in english

 corresponding                    khar    is ...............      asb      in persian language.

  
And is:
"seeb derakht", "apple tree"?         
i try to explain  ...  i hope. 

 "seeb derakhti"MEANS "apple "   is correct .

note the "i"  in the  end of  derakht i.

IN PERSIAN GRAMMER this is relation between noun & adjective.

seeb  noun

derakhati  adjective     and together  seeb derakhati   means that apple belonge to tree.

similar to

 &  "seeb  zamini "    means " potato."

E  english    P    persian
Apple   E    seeb         P     

earth   E     zamin  P    

tree     E     derakht    p       

good luck

mythodology



Like any other languages, in Farsi some words has both concrete and abstract meanings. Look at the meanings of the word you asked " khar":



Sure one meaning (concrete one) for "Kahr"= خر is a type of "horse" a bit smaller. But this word can be used to isult someone who is stupid or even worse than just being stupid. ;D

 

The words change meanings in different contexts. look at the words below:

" Un kheili gole!!!!!"=" اون خیلی گُله" in this sentence "gol"= flower doesn't mean flower anymore, it just means " She/he has a very good personality or character or even she/he is very lovely." :)

And this "derakhte seeb derakht", "apple tree" is a Noune+ adjective in Farsi; you should know that in Farsi nouns precede the adjectives as below:

 

 ye(k) dokhtare ziba= a beautiful girl ;)

 ye(k) porteghale recideh= a ripe orange ;)


this is only a small part of Farsi Grammar. I hope this will help you.


I am impressed that you have interest in learning Farsi; feel free to ask me any questions at any time. :)


Good Luck
