Useful Drills 48

Practice makes perfect!

Note: Before doing these homeworks, make sure you have learned the previous words fluently.

 

As you see, our 'Useful drills' today is a bit different. Today, we are going to learn how to call the people or things of a country.

Example:

He was German.
This car was German.
His language was German.

We already know how to say Germany in Persian. To convey all the above meanings, simply put with /i:/ sound at the end of the country name in Persian.
Result:
For German, we will have /a:lma:ni:/. Is that clear? Good!

Note:

For countries ending with /a:/ sound in Persian, such as /a:mrika:/, we should put this /i:/ at the end of the Persian word.
Do you know why? No?
Ok, I'll tell you why. But, not now! It's already midnight and I am terribly tired! So, you'll have to wait until next week. Of course, you could give it a try to find the reason.

Try this for the countries we have studied today. That is to say, say these in Persian:

German
English
American
Canadian
Swiss
Brazilian
Dutch
Australian
Norwegian
Spanish
