100 Persian Verbs (Fully Conjugated in the Most Common Tenses) (Farsi-English Bi-lingual Edition) (English and Farsi Edition)

I picked up this book on the recommendation of a native Farsi speaker and I was not disappointed. The clear bold text makes letter recognition clear and serves as an excellent source for beginning speakers to sound out words. The placement of the anglicized phonetic spelling underneath allows English speakers to feel confident they are saying the words correctly. You'd think you wouldn't get much with only 1000 words but I was amazed (for example) by the variety of relationships listed. While it is true compound verbs aren't well represented in the 1000 words, plenty else is for beginners. This is a great hardcopy resource for the beginning speaker.

Really does a nice job with conjugating common verbs

This is a very useful book, since there is no other book like it for sale. The format is very simple: 100 verbs are conjugated in practically every possible way. It also includes explanations of how and when the different forms are used.The layout is clear and well-organized, and it is very easy to use. My one complaint is that the verb selection could have been better. Persian verb conjugations are very irregular in the present tense, so a wider variety of verbs would have been useful. 34 of the 100 verbs in the book are "kardan" verbs, which all conjugate the exact same way. Since the book only includes 100 verbs, only one "kardan" verb should have been fully conjugated, and that would have made room for more non-uniform verbs. Despite that one flaw, it is very useful and I highly recommend this book.

High quality formatting of the conjugations of essential verbs.

I've been searching Amazon for almost a decade, trying to find a Persian verb book. They make them in every language except Persian. So grateful to finally have a book! A wonderful thing about this particular book is that it is not only written in Persian but also the Persian is spelled phonetically in English for those who either don't read in Persian or are just learning. That's not easy to find. Lastly, I really like that it doesn't just have the present and past tense but 11 different forms for each verb. Although a fluent speaker, I still get stuck conjugating certain verbs in certain contexts and I'm so glad to have a resource to help me. I like this book so much, I found the website of the publisher, Bahar Books, and I look forward to ordering more from this company. We have a Persian language preschool (Persian Preschool) and I noticed they have a preschool book series so I will have to check those out too!

This book was a life-saver while taking Rosetta Stone, and now that I've finished it appears that I've learned at least 68 of the verbs in this book. There just aren't that many resources out there for Farsi-learners. The font in this book is HUGE, and the conjugations all appear to be correct. This book is invaluable, and I am very thankful that Nazanin Mirsadeghi has brought this into the world.

A most useful aid in learning Persian! The various lists of common verbs with indications (*) as to which of the verbs is more commonly used is very helpful.

If you are learning Persian then you know you cannot form many sentences until you know some basic verbs. This is a great help.

Really good to check the conjugation of the least used tenses in dari and farsi, although a good amount of the verbs chosen are rare or belong to refined, literary contexts.

Ce livre pallie à l'absence de Bescherelles persan. Le fait qu'il soit en anglais n'est guère gênant même pour quelqu'un comprenant mal cette langue, étant donné que la quasi totalité du livre est en persan. Seules les explications du sens des différents temps en début d'ouvrage, et la traduction de l'infinitif des verbes en haut de page sont en anglais. Le livre présente des tableaux de chaque verbe, conjugué aux 11 temps les plus utilisés (les temps archaïques n'y figurent pas). Chaque forme verbale est donnée en lettres arabes (qui est l'alphabet utilisé en persan) et en phonétique (alphabet latin) Globalement très utile, ce livre a quelques défauts : sur les 100 verbes, environ le tiers sont des verbes composés (principalement avec le verbe "kardan", faire, mais aussi "dachtan" avoir). Or tous les verbes composés se conjuguent de la même manière, et rien ne justifie une telle profusion. Même remarque pour les verbes réguliers (verbes finissant en -idan), dont on peut facilement deviner toute la conjugaison à partir de l'infinitif. C'est comme si l'on consacrait 50 pages dans le bescherelles français pour 50 verbes du premier groupe différents. De plus la mise en page est trop aérée : 3 pages complètes pour la conjugaison de chaque verbe, alors qu'il n'y a pourtant que 11 temps (le bescherelles fait rentrer les 16 temps français en une seule page). L'auteur a également un livre consacré à la conjugaison de 100 verbes irréguliers, où le choix de verbes est plus intéressant, et qui peut dispenser de l'achat du présent ouvrage.

Finally , Verbs conjugated in a nutshell ! Much needed!

A very useful book for beginners in Persian.

If you're learning Persian on your own you have to have this book.
