Farsi · Pronunciation Guide

How do you pronounce "به امید دیدار" in Farsi?

beh oh-MEED-eh dee-DAHR — two words with independent final-syllable stress, linked by a light unstressed 'eh' (the ezafe) in between.

به امید دیدار [be o.ˈmiː.de di.ˈdɒːr]

be omid-e didār

به is an unstressed preposition; امید and دیدار are both native nouns following the default rule of final-syllable stress, and the ezafe vowel -e linking them is itself always unstressed.

The little unstressed 'e' linking امید and دیدار is an ezafe, the standard Persian connector that links a noun to a following modifier or noun ('hope-of seeing'); skipping it (saying 'omid didār') is ungrammatical, even though nothing is written to mark it in the Persian script itself.

Where English speakers slip

Because the ezafe vowel isn't written in the script (there's no visible letter for it between امید and دیدار), learners often omit it in speech entirely — remember to insert that light 'e' sound linking the two words even though you don't see it on the page.
