The splendid and astonishing thing about Farsi is how Indo-European it is. Every once in a while, you just run up against a word that's awfully recognizable.
English Latin Farsi
to kiss basiare busidan

Very cool. I always enjoy your posts on Farsi, and they're especially interesting after reading certain chapters for Linguistics.

I'm glad you like them. :-) I find them interesting, too, and like writing them, so it's nice to know someone else does! :-)
