Guest Posted November 29, 2000 Report Share Posted November 29, 2000 Farsi, In Persian thanx is sepas, Merci is for Westernized people and Täshäkkor is coming from Arabic. In Dutch it is bedankt (nasal ankt) =thanx or Dank u/ dank je formal/informal for Thank you. In Georgian is Madloba, didi madloba, or Dzalian didi Madloba for thanx and Gmadlob/Gmadlobt formal/informal for thank you. Xorosho in Russian is good what in Persian is Xwosh. Please in Russian is Pozhalste (pozhaluysta) please in good Persian is Xwahesh mikonòm, or Xwaheshmändòm, lotfän is coming from Arabic.

Guest Posted December 16, 2000 Report Share Posted December 16, 2000 Actually my aunt says "apres" a lot! And she isn't even from Karabagh. Or who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2000 Report Share Posted December 16, 2000 Zhivi in Russian, Zivi in Pahlevi but also can be used in new Persian, means Live or better say may you live (long). Also in Tehrani slang people use dämët gärm, your breath warm. in Holland more and more people use "Merci" too, first the chique person used it, but know everybody for example also the Busdrivermay uuse Merci instead of bedankt, dank je or dank u.
