Farsi of the day


Today's Farsi came from the BBC Persian's top story. I was puzzling it out. The sounds are b-m-b, and so I was thinking: "bomab? bamib?"
Turns out it's "bomb." They directly transliterated the word. If you look at the headline, you might be able to recognize it. The full headline reads something like, "Dah ha khoshte dar seh anfajar bomb dar Iraq." That roughly translates to, "Ten killed in three [cities?] by bombs in Iraq."
It's not good news...
