How do you pronounce "باز" in Farsi?
Say "bahz" with a long, open "ah" vowel, like the "a" in "father" followed by a "z".
bāz
A single syllable, so there's no stress choice, but the ā must stay long and open — don't shorten it into the vowel of English "buzz".

"Dar bāz ast" (The door is open) is about as simple as Persian sentences get: dar ("door") + bāz ("open") + ast ("is") — a direct, three-word template worth memorizing since the same subject-adjective-ast order recurs in almost every sentence in this word set.
Where English speakers slip
Because dar ("door") and dur ("far", the previous entry) look and sound similar to English ears, learners sometimes confuse the two in listening practice; dar has a short a like "cup", while dur has a long oo like "food" — keeping the vowel lengths distinct prevents the mix-up.
