Why Persian (Farsi) names sound the way they do
- A is usually ‘ah’ and stress falls late — Taremi → tah-RAY-mee.
- Kh and gh are throaty sounds English lacks; Americans land on ‘k’ and a hard ‘g’.
- Every syllable is voiced clearly — Persian doesn’t swallow vowels the way English does.
- The ‘-i’ ending is a clean ‘ee’.
