You may have heard that Iranians speak \u201cPersian\u201d or \u201cFarsi\u201d and you might be wondering about the differences between Farsi and Persian. Well, Farsi is Iran\u2019s official language; though many dialects and languages are spoken in the country, people all over the country know and speak Farsi. In this article, you’ll learn necessary Farsi phrases for your next trip to Iran.<\/p>\n

Are the street signs just in Farsi?<\/h2>\n

If you plan to visit Iran and you don\u2019t know Farsi, you might be worried about reading the street signs. But, the good news is that you don\u2019t need to know Farsi to read the street signs because, in most cases, they are written in both Farsi and English.<\/p>\n

Can I use google translate?<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re trying to translate words, phrases, and very short sentences, it works pretty well. For long sentences, however, you might end up with some weird or funny collection of words. But the main disadvantage is that it won\u2019t pronounce Farsi words and, since you most probably can\u2019t read Farsi scripts, it won\u2019t be useful (unless you\u2019re trying to translate something from Farsi to another language or showing the text on your phone).<\/p>\n

So, it seems useful to learn some essential but easy Farsi phrases to help you communicate while you’re in Iran. Here, we have prepared you a quick list which you might want to bookmark for your future use!<\/p>\n

Which translates to:<\/p>\n

Love\u2019s path is Path whereof the shore is none:
\nAnd there, unless they surrender their soul, remedy is none.
\nEvery moment that to love thou givest thy heart is a happy moment,
\nIn the right work, need of praying to God to be directed aright is none.<\/p>\n
