فرمانهای متناقض

Here is a text that highlights one of my favorite Adverbs, “Anyway”.  We have translated it into “به هر حال” in Persian.  Here, then, is the translation of Kent Keith’s “Paradoxical Commandments” in Persian!  Translated with the help of Dr. Razani and Ms. Javadpour.

It all started with these double sided magnets which have really helped us in our enjoyment of language. For one thing, designing magnets required us to break down the language into parts and particles of speech.

The magnets are part of a larger mission, with a sweeping vision.  Read on for the details of our secret agenda.




You have my word

قول دادن

In English, to make a promise is to “give someone your word” that you will do something.  With the Persian word magnets, you can give someone your word literally!
