Fascinating points There are some interesting differences in every language and there are some nice ones in Persian that is interesting for non Persian speakers. For example we have three alphabets that have the same sound but different applications. Those are : ص and س and ث. these are pronounced as "s" in English but if you write سابون it will be funny in dictation صابون means soap (sabun) . Now here are some words like these two words : صواب, savab means : good action, and ثواب:savab pronunciation. Is savab too and means,:reward. You see if you write (سابون) so you have dictation error but some words have diffrent meanings. If you have such diffrences in your language define for us please.

Fascinating points

There are some interesting differences in every language, and there are some nice ones in Persian that are interesting for non-Persian speakers. For example, we have three letters in our alphabet that have the same sound, but different applications. Those are :
ص and س and ث. These are pronounced as "s" in English but if you write سابون it will be funny in dictation صابون means soap (sabun) .

Here is a further example:
صواب, 'savab'  means: good action, and ثواب is 'savab' too', and means "reward". You see, if you were to write "سابون", you would make a dictation error.

I have explained how some words have different meanings, even though they sound the same.

If you have such differences in your language, give some examples here.
