Artifact One

[Drew]

My first Persian artifact demonstrates several grammatical concepts:

"Diruz be yek hotel raftam"

I went to a hotel yesterday (yesterday to one hotel went-I)

 

--Shows how ‘yek’ is used to designate "a", or "an"

 

Man muze rau didam

I saw a museum

--Shows how lack of an 'i' sound or 'yek' creates a definite noun

 

Pesari rau dar khiyaban didam

I saw a boy in the street.

 

--Shows how placing an 'i' sound after a noun makes the noun indefinite

For my first Hebrew Artifact I recorded several sentences that shows how inserting the connectives ‘ve’ "and” or ‘o’ “or” between two parts of a sentence makes them function as one part.
