Podgap (132) | Persian Vocabulary (Int.): Echo Compounds, a Fun Feature of Persian Language

Learn Persian by Podgap

Welcome back to Podgap, the podcast that helps you explore the beauty and rhythm of the Persian language.
In this episode, Hanieh and Mohsen take you on a journey into one of the most playful and musical parts of the Persian language: echo compounds—those catchy word pairs like rizé-mizé or āt o āshqāl that add rhythm, humor, and charm to everyday conversations.
You’ll learn what makes these expressions special, how native speakers use them in real life, and how you can sprinkle them into your own Persian to sound more natural and fluent.
With plenty of fun examples, a guessing game, and a short challenge for you to try, this episode is all about enjoying the music of words in Persian.
So grab your headphones, get ready to learn, and let’s dive in!
