More about Hasht

Hasht is eight, right after haft (seven). The memory hook points out that sh in hasht is what separates it from haft, so listen for it. Eight of a thing is hasht ta chai. It is taught in Module 3, lesson 5, in the lesson called Six, seven, eight, so it arrives with its two closest neighbours. In the course you hear it in an order, Hasht ta, lotfan!, and in a more playful line about eating eight kebabs tonight. The count run shish, haft, hasht is also a line of its own that the lesson uses for practice.
