Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Persian uses two distinct registers: 'Ketābi' (written/formal) for books and official settings, and 'Mohāvereyi' (spoken/informal) for daily conversation and texting.
- Use 'Ketābi' for formal writing, news, and speeches: 'من میروم' (I go).
- Use 'Mohāvereyi' for friends, family, and social media: 'من میرم' (I go).
- Never mix registers in the same sentence to avoid sounding unnatural.
