Perfect translations, Monda

Looks like Farsi needs to coin a word that describes "hypocrite" better. Hafez's "chon be khalvat meeravand aan kar e deegar meekonand" proves that the concept is very precisely understood in our culture, but where's the very precise word or idiom? I sense the idiom should include the word "jelveh" or "zaaher." But "zaaher saaz" pulls more towards "con artist" than hypocrite. What's a hypocrite to do?

Ari, do you concur?

Thank you Mehrban jan

My best wishes to you on Yours.

Happy belated birthday Monda

With best wishes for the year ahead.

Farsi version please.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

Thanks Capt_

Pleas feel free to add the ones you may have heard.

Dear Mr. Siletz

Thanks for your translation. Now I feel really flattered by your wishes! And in fact I do feel really Kool.

I would give that list a try. I'm more curious than capable really, when it comes to translating (especially for other people).

I never forget your beautiful sentiments. Please write more poems and do post them here. I will always be looking for them.

Also thank you again for that poem by whoever it was, as it really resonated with me deeply. 

Thanks Monda Jan

for the sensible advice- Shame I am not a sensible girl and unfortunately genetically programmed for hal pakhsh kardan.

Hopefully my search for a Casanova may be coming to an end- I have had an offer that I am finding difficult to refuse.. I can resist everything but temptation. 

Have a most wonderful Birthday sis. 

Monda khanoum: bargardani

kontor se sefri =3 digits on the electricity meter lining up to zeroes cyclically in time. Also, kiloometr shomar, but that refers to an entirely different kind of mileage. For example, sefr kilometry=virgin.

Haal pakhsh kardan=to make happy.

joft sheesh zadan= zowgh kardan.

Rafigh faabrik: dyed in the wool friend (original factory parts)

Kelaas gozashtan= tazaahor be bartari.

kool=cool.

Aabghoosht be baalaa: High class.

khod raa be kolang zadan= khod raa beh kooche ali chap zadan.

Jooshkaari=zits

Also, I recently got the mirror image problem in an email from a young Iranian-American asking for the Farsi equivalent of common English experssions. Some had me stumped (not on my watch=mageh man cheekaaram?). If you would like to give the list a try, let me know and I will post it in a comment here.

Dear khaleh mosheh

Thanks luv! Beware of those lovers of yours, may they be lesbian or not (you well know which ones I'm talking about).

Dear Ari, translation please!!! (when you get the chance?)

I can tell your message is positive and birthday-related. But am clueless as to the detail of the content! It's an honor to me to see you on this thread.

Happy Birthday Dear Monda

شنیدم کنترت یه دفه دیگه سه صفری شده، رفیق فابریک. حال پخش کردی و کلی‌ جفت شیش زدم.  اینروزا ترشی خوابوندن شده "سیو  از" ولی‌ بچه جوونای فامیل برات کلاس گذاشتن، خودشونم می‌دونن تو چقدر کول و آبگوشت به بالا هستی‌. به کلنگ میزنن که جوشکاری شونو مسخره نکنی‌.    

Ms. Monda

Happy Birthday.

I was just curious, The clip that you posted on the man who originally composed the Birthday song, WHere is this being perfromed at?

ماندا جان؛

 ماندا جان؛ شعر مال من نیست، و اسم شاعرش را هم نمیدونم. خوشحالم که سهم ناچیزی در روز میلاد تو دارم. من هم، با این کلیپ برات رقصیدم.

همیشه شاد باشی.

بوسه ای گرم به چشمان ترت
هدید ایست از منه بی نام و نشان

میس هالی جان؛ جویای حالت هستم خانمی.***
 

Dance away Monda jan...

was just making sure I don't sound like an 18 yr old on the net lol

Red Wine aziz,

baa arze tashakkor az mohabattet, You Stay Green too my friend.

Holly jan I was taarofing!

I'm not that competent at reading people on the net - I have to see them really. You may range between 35-55?

Still, I notice even within 10 years much changes in the culture and the person's position within their own specific culture. And this is a global phenomenon. I'm dancing here and am bad at multi-tasking right now. Let's talk social psych Soon Ok?

Oh Man! I'm having such goot time here! :o))

Thank You Jahanshah Jan!!!!! I'm out of breath dancing to the Bowie clip ..... Oh Yeah he rocks and so do YOU!

Some of the clip images of him were new to me. 

Monda Jan

دوست بسیار عزیز و گرامی‌ ...

میلاد پر مهر و با شکوه شما را تبریک میگوئیم و آرزوی سلامتی و خوش بختی برایتان می‌کنیم.

همیشه سبز باشید.

Let the guessing games begin

"I too find them much more savvy and skilled at self-survival than my generation at least (even than yours maybe) "

Just curious Monda jan, how old or at least in what age range do you think I am?? and Don't make it a 20 year span! :P

MOORCHE JOON: nice to see you! long time :)

Lovely Moorcheh Thank You!

WOW! I am so touched by your poem and this clip you have no idea! I'm definitely saving your poem. Did you write that??! I mean you can write poetry (I've read them on moshaaereh blogs). Wonderful!

I was just dancing to the clip with hot tears in my eyes.

Golden Years

Happy Birthday Monda Jan!

Merci Farnoosh!

Thanks for the link to Soheili's book. I'll definitely check it out.

Monda jaan tell him/her "as if"! Some are old rest funny! hehehe

Everything is sacred.

میلادت فرخنده باد

ماندا جان؛

روز ميلاد تو بود
كه هوا بوی گل مریم داشت
و نسيم خنکی از تو بشارت میداد
غوره ها از تپش قلب تو انگور شدند
سركه ها را خبر آمدنت شيرين كرد
برگ ها از سر تعظيم تو می رقصيدند
و خزان درقدم شاد تو نقاشی كرد
روز ميلاد تو همواره خدا حاضر بود
آسمان جشن گرفت
ابرها مژده ديدار تو را ميدادند
رعد در حنجره از شوق تماشای تو غوغا ميكرد
طبل آغاز تو را می كوبيد
برق آغاز تو را می تابيد
مه فضا را به هوای تو در آغوش گرفت
ماه تا فرصت ديدار تو بيدار نشست
درجهان از قدم مهر تو مهمانی شد
شعر از مركب فرخنده ی احساس تو الهام گرفت
واژه ها در شعف وصف تو شادی كردند
و غزل قالب همواره توصيف تو شد
و به يمن قدم سبز تو باران باريد
خشکی تاک و برگهای خزان
از عبور نفس خيس تو بارانی شد
سينه از بركت ميلاد تو نورانی شد
دل مادر ز "عشق" تو چراغانی شد

Happy Birthday!

I am very interested in seeing the examples of new Persian talk.  I leave you a link to Mehdi Soheili's book, Asrar-e-Magoo.  I should forewarn you that there are some very dirty jokes in here.  It might be a good reminder of a different kind of Persian talking a few decades ago.  I take no responsibility for the content (!).

MPD, What is so special about being 35?

MPD, what is so great about being 35?  A relative of mine who is many years older than 35, put a comment on his facebook that he turned 35, I believe he was joking.  So I replied that I remember holding him as a baby and marvelling at his cuteness.   In reality, I don't remember such thing since he and I are almost same age.  And I am definitely some years older than 35.  So my question is why both he and you picked 35? what is so great about being 35?
