من بچه آمریکام؟

What’s up ladies and gents?

Is there any similarity between Gilaki

and English?

Let’s have some fun…

As you may know I’m from Rasht

and I usually speak Gilaki at home.

But it’s not a language,

it’s a dialect.

But there are some cool facts

that you may want to know.

Maybe Gilaki has helped me

to learn English Faster.

These are the similarities between

Gilaki and English:

Number 1

The grammar

present continues.

So let’s say

you and your friend decided to go out.

You call your friend and say:

“Are you coming?

He doesn’t want to come

because he’s come down with the flu…

so he says:

In Persian

na, nemiyam

In English

“No, I’m not coming”

and in Gilaki

na, daram nemiyam

Exactly like English.

Interesting.

So I didn’t have to learn this grammar.

Number 2

Adjective before the noun

So we all know in English

adjective comes before the noun.

Let me give you an example.

In English we say:

Beautiful girl

In Persian we say:

Dokhtare khoshgel

adjective after the noun.

But in Gilaki we say:

khoshgele dokhtar

I was born in America!

Number 3

Vocabulary

There are some words, that you can’t

find in Persian

but you have the synonyms in Gilaki.

Like

– f- off

We can translate it into Persian

but not exactly.

You can translate it:

boro gomsho

not a word.

But in Gilaki we can say:

fakesh

You see.
