im not sure if thats a question or a statement. if its a question, like i said, they arent. i see the word "kardan" (کردن) spelled backwards 2 or 3 times. thats not conjugated, thats the just the verb itself. like "to be"...(am, are, etc)
if you said the verb like "to be shopping" and didnt conjugate it as am shopping is shopping etc, and then use it. like: "tonight my friends and i to be shopping" and mean to say "my friends and i will be shopping"...
furthermore, farsi conjugates verbs into six basic categories: yourself, you (formal / plural), you (informal), they, we, he/she/it, and then furthermore conjugates into present tense, future tense, past tense, past progressive tense, etc etc.

i think the moron typed it in A) with mistakes, or at least some of the words, B) backwards, meaning, the farsi langauge script right to left is not turned on, so its writing like left to right or backwards somehow, and C) the verbs arent even conjugated.
basically, this guy is a troll. so he gets his supposed iranian coworker to type some crap up. however, the script isnt set right, and the guy (assuming their is one), doesnt even bother to conjugate the verbs, which isnt what a native speaker would do. as i said, i spend twelve hours a day doing this and translating from sites like
www.radiofarda.com etc etc and three hours a day talking to native speakers. if it is a true native, they DONT misconjugate their own verbs.
i recognize the few words if you sit there and spell them backwards etc. in essence, picture writing english incorrectly.
like yltcerrocni (incorrectly), and even on top of that more mistakes, and factor in the fact that its not my first langauge, i cant read it, because it doesnt make sense. furthermore, as i said, the verbs arent conjugated.
picture a NATIVE english speaker saying something like "go shop" and MEANING "i am going shopping". thats how far off the typed **** is, assuming im reading it right BACKWARDS.
so i dont buy it for a second. i think the guy is a douche. learning this language my ***. he doesnt even know how to conjugate verbs and he cant even say for sure what it was SUPPOSED to say.
i can translate news media websites in farsi, speak farsi, and have a listening comprehension in farsi. the government spent 150k dollars to make sure i could read, write, speak, and listen like the equivalent of a high schooler by the end of the course in october. i am by NO means an expert, or some great speaker. but i AM good enough to do translation and transcription work.

If you're wondering, here's my spin on 4 years of being a private. In the military, you have people who yell at you and make you run and do pushups....but they are generally doing it in order to make you better. In the civilian world, you have bosses who view you as a stepping stone and as a resource (tool). They don't yell, they just fire you.
Now, I've been doing this for 18 years. I went to college. I've started and nurtured a family of 4. They don't want for anything. We don't 'feel' rent or health care or life insurance or food, because we're compensated for all of that (among other things.)
Yeah, my base pay may not stack up to anyone in the civilian sector doing similar work to me; heck my base pay and all of my beni's may not either, but the peace of mind that I don't have to worry about my children's health, or my job security.
But you might die in a foreign land in a heinous manner!
I might die today as I'm crossing the street, with a panel truck rolling a wheel over my cranium. I could get shot as I'm buying some gas in the filling station tonight. I could get hit by a drunk driver..... We all have to die. What or how or why doesn't really matter, does it?
Of all of the professions in the world, who besides physicians and maybe lawyers and teachers, find themselves truly serving a greater good? Truly police, regulate, and manage it's own ethics and professional development? Truly have no such thing as a union that functions to guarantee that my pay is as much as it possibly could be? TRULY make a difference?

this is true. but i joined to serve my country. the problem isnt really with the pay i guess, if you measure everything up .
for example i make a good bit as a sergean with housing allowance, health care etc. however, the health care quality i would rather pay for better, im sick of living in apartments etc..
but i still love the military. its great. i make decent enough money to have a nice apartment, nice car, my wife has a ncie car and we still go on vacations, save money, etc. im a simple person so i still like it

Learned a lot about a lot whilst in the Army.
My first paycheck from Uncle Sam was something like $550...minus taxes, College Fund, Soldier's home, etc.
I got $785/month every month I was in college.
And, since I'm a disabled vet, my kids can attend CSU for free/steeply reduced fees.
If you've been in 18yrs, you & I must have enlisted about the same time; 17Nov87 for me.
Yup, should've stayed in...there's even an Air Assault unit in Auburn...

Believe it or not, 17NOV87 for me as well.
E/2-58IN. Initially Harmony Church, then we moved to the starships over at Sand Hill.
BTW, I got to go push troopies in 2-58 about 6 years later as a Drill Sergeant in the USAR.

I was going to be in the reserves during college (right now) but could not get past boot camp or something because you're not allowed to use any medications like my asthma inhaler while in it. I was kinda sad because I had always wanted to be in the Military since I was oung.
