[A r c h i]

Good job @mir for the map , Another thing I recommend for Dear Hufayze is buying a map of tehran, You always get lots in tehran, I do have one for myself(just bought a newer version a few days ago), I always check the map for the places Im not familiar with.
Anyway, about the rent price, yes you're right it's so expensive in north, I suggest you rent in a quarter where is near in central parts of tehran so you can reach everywhere easily.
most of green areas are situated in north or suburbs of Tehran.

and questions :
1- what 's your definition of love?
2- Whats yr definition of luck? do u believe in that?
3- what's the first thing that come to your mind:

Black
blue
Green
white
red
pink

4-where is utopia?

Thanksl

[Kite102]

Are you mocking me ? :( l

dragging this thread off-topic. Thank you very much. I have been seeking for this expression for years!l

Never! I'm just jesting

Yeah I know what you mean, some phrases are really hard to find in a foreign language!

1- I think you have learned Persian to some extent. How?l
I took a module at my last university for about 6 months. I've know the basics but I still have a LONG way to go.. For my research though I absolutely have to learn Persian. Being able to speak Persian is a bonus but I am mainly interested in being able to read it

2- It seems that your relationship with your parents is not peaceful. IF this is the case, why?l
Really? What gives you this impression? My relationship with them is fine alhamdlillah ..

3- How many brothers and sisters do you have? What do they do? What do your family think about coming to Iran? Do they agree or not or neutral?l
Five sisters and three brothers. We ALL do different things somehow. My mother is a little worried about my trip to Iran but I am trying to convince her to let me go..She will let me go I think but a little reluctantly.


4- Have you ever seen a Persian movie?l
Yes! Rang-e Khoda. A beautiful film. I hear that there are a number of good Iranian directors in the Persian film scene?


5- Do you look more like Indians or British people? Dark or white? Black hair or blond? Blue eyes or black? Do you have beard or mustache?l
Indian all the way! Black hair and occasional facial hair..


6- Do you like any Persian music? Especially THE traditional ones? Have you heard THE names of Shajarian and Nazeri?l

I haven't heard a lot of Persian music at all and I look forward to enjoying this in Iran. I just had a look at a Nazeri performance on youtube, he looks interesting..


7- Once you said THAT you have been to many countries of the world. Why?l

I LOVE traveling and exploring different areas of out beautiful planet. I prefer to spend time in a place instead of leaving immediately but this is financially difficult sometimes! My trips have mostly been for study or tourism.

8- Do you PREFER the foggy weather of London or THE clear sky of Tehran?l
I like all the different seasons but I think the winters of Britain are far too long.. I'm looking forward to the clear skies..


9- Is there any possibility to get married with an Iranian girl? Let me give you another advice here. Since we suffer from Husband Famine in Iran, maybe some girls that see you are British and bla bla bla ... want to suspend from you !!! Be careful!!l


9- Is there any possibility of you getting married to and Iranian girl? Let me give you another piece of advice here. Since we suffer from Husband Famine in Iran, some girls might see that you are British and bla bla bla ... want to suspend from you !!! Be careful!!l
'Suspend' doesn't work here. Perhaps 'kidnap' is the word you are looking for?

Haha, as I said before, I'm coming to Iran primarily to learn Persian. However, anything could happen if it is 'written' for us! (Do you use 'maktub' in Iran/Persian?) But thanks for the warning!

There is a husband famine in Iran? Really? Why? Is the problem demographical or social?

10- How often do you cry? On what matters? Who dries your tears?l
I cry when I am REALLY down or when I am leaving people. Since I travel often, I always seem to be leaving somebody! Normally there is nobody to dry my tears except a box of tissues!

11- Have you ever fallen in love?l
Yes

12- Why are you so interested in KiteS? 1 in your ID and 1 in your avatar
I'm not really that interested in them. I picked Kite for my ID because I have 'kite' in my email ad and I picked the avatar to match the name

13- Could you please listen to this music and tell what is it saying in all? I just understand this sentence: We will win or we will die. It is about Palestine and Talle Za'tar which is the name of an occupied place
13- Could you please listen to this music and tell ME what is being said? I just understand this sentence: We will win or we will die. It is about Palestine and Talle Za'tar which is the name of an occupied place

Yes it is about the Palestinian resistance to oppression. I can't transcribe the whole thing because the recording is not very clear and I can't always make out what is being said. Here is a short section from near the start:

'Home of a people driven from their own land, refugees. People from Haifa, ---Yasin and Yaffa. People from all over Palestine. Palestine's people robbed of their life-hood (?), forced to pay for Zionist crimes..

She has a nice voice

What do you think about THE Holocaust? Is it true or just a fiction
We normally say: Is it fact or fiction?

Fact.

15- Which one is more beautiful

Lol, I don't like cockroaches very much at all


We have a poet called Sohrab Sepehri who says "I don't know why no one takes Vultures in cages (instead of e.g. nightingales!). He means every creature has its own beauty. What do you think?l

I agree completely. All people and all creatures are beautiful in their own way. But I think that the cockroach is an exception to this rule...


Thanks for your interesting questions my friend. I look forward to quizzing you one day too!

Hozy

tanx dear Kite
pardon me but in this question :

i means what is the semblance between tea and coffee

Ah I see. Sorry, I misunderstood. in this case you should ask something like:

What is the main similarity between coffee and tea?

Hmmmm... I'm not sure. You need to use hot water to make both?

[Kite102]

Thanks for your questions Archi-girl. Yes a map is essential in a massive place like Tehran! Thanks too for your suggested location. So far people have suggested the north, south and central area. I guess I will stay away from the East and West!

1- what 's your definition of love?
Hmmm, I'm sure the ahl-e ishq can give a much better definition than me but I would say love is when you . prefer the desire of your beloved over your own desires. It is something which must be experienced and 'tasted' rather than objectively defined.
What's your definition of it?

2- Whats yr definition of luck? do u believe in that
We have a saying in Britain:
You make your own luck

I suppose I do believe in luck to a certain extent but I don't have a clear definition of it. Sorry!

3- what's the first thing that comeS to your mind

Black: The computer in front of me is black!
blue: Sky
Green: Grass
white: a perfectly white room with nothing in it. Like this line..
red: Rose
pink: A pink rose !Is this font pink? i am a little colour blind..

Thank you...........................................

Hi

Are You Familiar With This?
I Want To Break The Silence's Lock
Take My Voice Beyond Skies
I Want To Give A Branch Of Flower From My Heart's Garden To Lovers
I Want To Draw A Fish In Sea In My Painting Book (?)
And Draw A Cage As Large As Universe For My Solitary Lovebird

Question:
Is Branch Of Flower Correct? (I mean Shakhe Gol)
Is Painting Book Correct?

Question:
?What do you call A piece of paper that given to somebody after invention or obtaining a medal in sport competitions for expressing gratitude. Patent

[mir@]

Five sisters and three brothers.

We have a motto here: The less number of children, the better quality of life
What do you think about this?

Do you use 'maktub' in Iran/Persian?

'maktub' is used in old (or pieces about ancient times) or very formal writings

I think you mean 'destiny'

It is

سرنوشت
تقدیر

There is a husband famine in Iran? Really? Why? Is the problem demographical or social?

None of them. It's an economic problem. Boys cannot get married, since normally they are in charge for supplying(? right word?) the family and girls are hopelessly waiting for someone get them (!) ...

11- Have you ever fallen in love?l
Yes

Too brief. Any more details ... don't you want to talk about that?

I agree completely. All people and all creatures are beautiful in their own way. But I think that the cockroach is an exception to this rule...

Chicky boy ....l

Hey Narges Khanoom
How is it going?l You forgot to say where you live

Hi Amir Khan (what a name I made for you)

Everything is fine, thank you babe. I didn't forget, I just didn't know that I should say where I liveI'm living somewhere downwards Tehran at the moment.
By the way, who said that I'm called Narges?

You're right, but some of the branches are so close to each other that when you want to mark them on the map, they coincide. Do you teach in Kish institute yourself?l

Yes I do teach at Kish language school but it's just a second job for me.

By the way, why don'y you want to sit on the hot chair.You are a fantastic option.

Thank you for your compliments, I'm flatteredbut I regret not being able to accept your kind invitation as I'm not sure if I can manage it; sometimes I'm just too busy to have any time for the cyber world.

Where is AminTNT? Why has he left us. You were close to each other I suspect

Well, it's a long time I haven't heard of Amin, he must be busy with his studies at school and most probably that's why he isn't visiting the forum very often

Let's not drag the thread off topic. Amir, if you have any more questions, you can send me a private message.

Enjoy the rest of your day everybody l
