How do you pronounce "مرگ" in Farsi?
"marg" — like English 'mug' but with a tapped 'r' in the middle: 'mar' (short flat 'a') plus a hard 'g'.
marg
One syllable; keep the vowel short and flat, and finish with a clear hard 'g', not a soft one.

مرگ بخشی از زندگی است ("Death is part of life") uses بخشی از ("a part of" — بخش, "part," plus the indefinite -i), and reuses زندگی from the previous entry, showing how the abstract vocabulary in this set recombines naturally.
Where English speakers slip
Confusing مرگ (marg, "death") with مرد (mard, "man") is easy to do — the final consonant is the only difference, so make sure to end in a clear 'g', not a 'd'.
