actually, my parents and sisters .... were like... "is it finish already? what happen to that person etc?"

For me... they dont want to give endings because they give us power to determine how the ending should be ... bad endings, or good ones...:giggling:

[Angelzz]

yep thats what my parents do --- they sit there and discuss how it was supposed to end lol.

Dari is language which Afghans speak its more pure by that I mean how the Brits and the Americans speak or even Australians speak., there are similarities but farsi (Iranian) has many words and vocabulary mixed in with other languages like french. The pronounciation and stuff is a bit different.

thanks erundur.
is dari very different from pashto - i mean, can the 2 understand each other?

[north_malaysian]

Sometime, when watching Iranian movies ... they sounded like Hindi..

[Erundur]

thanks erundur.

No they are different, some of the words are the same but thats because when living so close together with each other both languages accept either sides version of a word and go with it. Pashto is mainly spoken in the Southern regions of Afghanistan and across the border into eastern pakistan.

Dari, Uzbeki, etc are mainly spoken towards the north, from the areas of Kabul and east to the border regions connecting to Iran and up to its border regions in the north.

Khobam. means fine i think?
Tashakkormekonam.. Thanks..
i watch iranian tv channels.. don't understand much but it is pretty good..
Persian and Turkish languages have many words in common..

[IslamistheTruth]

I believe khobam is correct. Thank you is usually just, "Merci" or "Merci va Khoda" I know it sounds french..but it's become the norm.

[IslamistheTruth]

Rosetta Stone has an excellent program you can learn from. It's expensive but I think it's worth the money.
