Persian Phrases - Easy Persian

Welcome to the Easy Persian translation page! All of the sentences and phrases on this page were submitted by visitors to the site. It’s the perfect Persian phrasebook. Please be aware that some of the sentences were not be covered in our weekly lessons. Most of the translations here are presented in conversational Persian in an attempt to convey the message properly.

1. “I Love You” in Persian

I love you = /du:set da:ræm/.

Dooset daram

NOTE: Like love itself, the above sentence is a bit complicated in Persian!! One of the meaning of “I love you”, and the most common one, is what you see above. This phrase has another equivalent in Persian, which is not very common in daily conversations. Rather, it is used in certain situations, or in poetry, music, and finally in some writings. We can say, /a:sheghetæm/ for /du:set da:ræm/. Or, any other phrase that uses the word /eshgh/.

You may use /du:set da:ræm/ in the same way as we use “I love you” in English. That is to say, you may use it to express your love to your beloved (romantic moments!), to your children, to your parents, or even to your friends. But, /a:sheghetæm/ is better be used during the romantic moments only!!

I don’t remember we use the same composition in Persian for the above meaning. Instead, we use some other expressions to express our feeling to the person we haven’t seen for a long time.
