The sentence at the head of this page means: "The picture of the beloved laughs at me." - read it like this: aks(e) ma'shuq beh man mixandeh.

NOTE:

• Read Persian right to left!
• Word for word translation is odd, but often humorous. Things get "lost in translation."
• Here you occasionally will see an "e" or "ye" in parenthesis - (e), (ye). This will not appear on the magnets. It is the sound of the "ezafe" which is used in Persian to indicate that one word modifies another. The "ezafe" is never shown, but always sounded out. And it's only there if the one word is modifying another. e.g., I have a car, vs. I have a blue car would be I have a car, vs. I have a car(e) blue. More about modifiers and word order here.

Here are some sentences made with the Courtship - xAstegAri kit.

bus(e) Asheq rA cheshidam.

nAgahAn An qoncheh bA lebAs(e) tang va qerti-esh eshq(e) marA dozdid
Suddenly, that (flower) bud, with her tight and flirtatious clothes, stole my love!

shab resid va u, bi-vafA, raft az injA be donya-ye gonAh
Night arrived and he/she - faithless - went from here to the world of sin.
(Note, the word "gonAh"/"sin" is not in the Courtship kit. This person resourcefully borrowed the word from the Standard/MotedAvel kit. If we ever re-print the courtship kit, we will make sure to have "sin" in here. Why didn't we include it in the first place? Looking back in the production meeting notes, I see we didn't want to be accused of encouraging sin with this kit. As if a cheesy magnetic word play kit can lead you to temptation! Um...OK. Just in case, we feel the need to mention here that the ideas expressed in any of the sentences made by these kits and featured on the website do not necessarily reflect those of the kit maker, nor are they meant to endorse any illegal activity or political party. They are simply the coincidental outcome of a random sequence of words! Really. Feel free to use this disclaimer for your own home creations. It's not me, man. These words just jumbled together that way.)

shekAr-chi(e) xosh-andAm lab(e) daryA loxt shod.
The hunter with the great body got naked by the sea.

berim showhar-estAn bA efat va tur.
Let's go to "husband-land" with chastity and a veil (aka "net").

rasul(e) eshq shomA rA entexAb kardeh ast.
The messenger of love has chosen you.

Note: The Language Expert says that rasul can only apply to THE messenger, e.g., the prophet and can't be used this way. What do you think?
