As an Israeli with partial Iranian background, this video was so heartwarming and beautiful for me to watch! My grandma spoke fluent Persian and I have worked a lot to learn it in the past year. I can pick up a lot and also make basic conversation. I have so much love for the Iranian nation! Unfortunate that I can't see the country but I hope to visit the beautiful land of Iran one day! I am so proud of my Iranian roots! Greetings from Israel! 💖💖

You're right but the words which come from French, originally are from Greek. French is like a bridge to come to Turkish from Greek.

@@vickru2133 Ha-hah! Unfortunately, not quite. But lots of Iranians (especially more secular-leaning ones) never had anything against Israel or Jews, the two countries used to have good relations before the Islamic Revolution in 1979 (although the Shah, who Israel supported, wasn't quite the nicest man either, but most Iranians don't hold it against Israel). But the Iranian ayatollah/mullah-dominated government is very anti-Israel and Israel is very much against the Iranian government. But more and more average Iranian citizens are fed up with their government too, but it's more of the more educated, less religious people from the big cities. So one way for an Iranian citizen to express dissatisfaction with the Iranian regime is to say they support Israel. The funny thing now is that a lot of Arab governments like Saudia Arabia, UAE are allied with Israel (under the table) against the gov't of Iran, but most of the ordinary citizens in those countries hate Israel, with Iran it's almost the opposite --the Israeli and Iranian governments are enemies, but the ordinary citizens in both countries usually have positive feelings for each other.

@@zafarsharif993 Sure there are pro-Israel Arabs. many of them live in Israel and serve in the IDF. I've met and known many. And yeah, of course, some Arabs outside Israel also are pro-Israel. But the average man/woman on the street in most Arab countries have negative views of Israel (to put it lightly), although in KSA and some Gulf countries relations are good (unofficially) between the governments of those countries and Israel, I don't think the average citizen in Riyadh has a positive view.

It is derived from Sanskrit via Prakrit and the Basis of Persian is also Avestan via Old Persian. Avestan and Sanskrit are sister languages belonging to Indo-European languages so it's natural to have similarities between Urdu & Farsi. Further More during Turco-Mongol and Afghan Rule in India.Eastern Persian now called Parsi-e-Dari was the language of Imperial Courts so Farsi highly influenced the development of Urdu/Hindavi.

When Rome drive Jews out from Jerusalem Persia helped them a lot. Origin of these words are from those times.

[@koparaymond1270]

I guess these words came from jewish traders (ashkenaze)

[@Shahar_C]

No, The origins of those words (like many many others) are far ancient and you can find them (or very very similar) in our holy bible.

[@DailyMovieMania]

don't mistake my friends Hebrew is older than Arabic,and also original Persian (Farsi) is different from Arabic, Jewish people were in Persian before Arabs 2500 ago,now in Iran we use some words that are Arabic but we also have a original Persian word for it for example➡we use "kanoon" and "markaz" for the word center. This video was amazing.😂

[@BahadorAlast]

LIFE PATH Thank you for watching and for your comment. You're right, Jewish people have been in Iran (Persia) for over 2,500 years, longer than Muslims and Christians. As far as the words used in Persian which were influenced by Arabic, you're right about that, we are thinking about doing a video in the future to compare loan words in Persian with their original Persian. There are many words that are commonly used in Persian but they come from other languages and there is a Persian one for them as well. Thanks again:)

LIFE PATH : proto-hebrew is not the same as modern hebrew that has it’s roots in aramaic and syrio-aramaic. Both arabic and hebrew derive from Aramaic in some form. In this video Persian is using mostly Arabic influenced words which are very similar to Hebrew. Look for hebrew-arabic similarities videos.

Nice vid! Does the one who speaks Hebrew have an accent or is it just me?? Plus, I gotta say that her choice of words (Korban instead of Hakrava, Mekudash instead of Kadosh), although correct, is rather unnatural for a Hebrew speaker.. x.x

[@BahadorAlast]

Thank you for watching! Chana is Canadian, from Montreal, so she does speak French as well. That could be the accent you're hearing. I understand the words used may not be the most common ones that Hebrew speakers would use, and the same goes with Persian. However, the goal with all of our videos is to find similarities between languages as a means of bringing people closer together, as you'll notice in our other videos as well :)

Persian words are all borrowed from arabic, but i like the way you get different peoples closer to each other.

[@BahadorAlast]

Thank you. Yes, you're right, most of the words mentioned here are Arabic in origin, and although we have actual Persian words that can be used for them, the Arabic ones are in common with Hebrew, and they are the ones more commonly used in regular conversations in the 21st century by Persian speakers. The original Persian words are used in poetry and literature. If we had only stuck with original Persian words for this video, there would rarely be anything in common with Hebrew. But as you mentioned, it is our goal to bring people and cultures closer together, and technically using these words isn't wrong, because they are used by Persian speakers :)

[@hzhzfzfz8451]

[@Amooretliban]

Mark McElroy the Hebrew alphabet actually is Aramaic, this is a well known and established fact. And ancient Hebrew alphabet is actually Phoenician. Go look it up. As for Persian, they adopted imperial Aramaic and then some Arabic.

[@benjaminmamistvalov6858]

Saro M halfly correct, in the Tora(Israeli bible) since the creation of the world when god created Adam and Hava(Eva) the language was hebrew, with Abraham, with Issac, with Jacob, and even with Hagar, Ismael and Esaav, with Mosses, with Joshua, until Galut Bavel(When Nevuhadnezar the king of bavel in Iraq took the jew from Israel to Bavel and destroyed the jewish temple in Jerusalem, then all kinds of new laguages were created and aswel Aramic and Arabic(I think Arabic was created before), and even the Gemara was written in Aramic and Hebrew.

Pineapple is usually actually "piña" in Spanish although the version "ananá" also exists. And Spanish says "aceituna" for olive, which comes from Arabic.

It's unbelievable 😐 it's too similar. Different is in pronunciation. So i can speak in Israel too 😗

[@guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272]

@THe Boy Well, you can speak Farsi with the many Iranian Jews (and even older Bukharian Jews from Uzbekistan) who live in Israel, but not with the average Israeli. Many of the words on the list like "zman/zaman," "malka/Malika" are similar, but that's because Persian took them from Arabic. Arabic and Hebrew *ARE* related languages, but Persian and Hebrew are not (and despite the fact that Farsi uses the same alphabet as Arabic and most Persians are Muslim, the roots of Farsi and Arabic are different as I am sure you know), but Persian has many Arabic loan words. The other examples of the same words like "otobus" or "ananas" are just because these are international words. "Otobus" for a bus derives from Greek, and in German, SPanish, French, they say "autobus" and "ananas" for the pineapple fruit is used in many languages besides Hebrew and Persian --for example they also say "ananas" in French and Russian. The word originates from an American Indian language spoken in South America called "Tupi", and Europeans first were introduced to the fruit there and then the word spread to many other languages.. So sorry, when you come to Israel, you can speak in English, learn Hebrew or look for the Farsi-speaking Israeli-Jewish community! Looking forward to seeing you here!
