The usual mix-up with Man

Looks like an English word

Man looks like the English word "man", but in Persian it is "I / Me". Read it as Finglish, in Persian sounds.

More about Man

Man is I or me. The course says to point at yourself when you say it. Persian already puts I into the verb ending, so Man adds the point: Man ab mikham means I want water, and the -m on mikham would say I even without Man. Pair it with To chi? to hand the turn back. It is taught in Module 8, lesson 2, in the lesson called What do you want? Be careful: it looks like the English word man, but it means I here, so read it as Finglish.
