I Love you
Finglish is a blend of Farsi (Persian) and English, widely used in everyday informal communication among Persian speakers in Iran and the global diaspora. It involves writing Farsi words and sentences using the Roman (English) alphabet rather than the Persian script.
Unlike formal Farsi, Finglish does not follow strict spelling rules. It reflects how millions of bilingual Persian speakers naturally communicate digitally in text messages, social media, and casual conversations.
| Finglish | Farsi | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Salam | سلام | Hello / Hi |
| Mamnoon | ممنون | Thank you |
| Man | من | I / Me |
| Shoma | شما | You (formal) |
| Khub | خوب | Good / Fine |
| Khune | خونه | Home |
| Miram | میرم | I'm going |
| Miam | میام | I'm coming |
| Begoo | بگو | Tell / Say |
| Midunam | میدونم | I know |
| Chi shod | چی شد | What happened? |
| Daram mikhunam | دارم میخونم | I'm studying |
These sentences mix Farsi and English the way real Persian speakers text each other — Farsi grammar with English loanwords.
