Looking for practical Dari (فارسی) to Persian (فارسی) phrases? This free guide lists 100 essential sentences for travel, study, work, and everyday conversation. Each line shows the Dari phrase first, then the Persian translation (فارسی) — so you can scan quickly before a trip, class, or video call.
The phrases are grouped into eight topics: greetings and pleasantries, useful phrases for travellers, everyday conversation, directions and getting around, shopping and dining, emergencies and health, work and business, and time, days and numbers. Use the table of contents to jump straight to greetings, directions, dining, emergencies, or numbers. You do not need perfect grammar to start — short, clear sentences often work better than silence when you are learning Persian.
Tip: read the Persian line out loud three times, then cover the Dari side and try to recall the meaning — repetition builds memory faster than silent reading.
