Sound it out

پن pan, "p" (a crisper, less puffy sound than English word-initial "p") plus a short flat "a" and "n" — like the English word "pun" but with an "a" as in "cat" instead of "u."

جر jer, "j" as in English "jet" plus a lightly tapped r and a short "eh" vowel.

ه e, a short closing "eh" vowel — again, this final ه is a vowel marker, not a pronounced h.

"پنجره را باز کنید" (Panjere rā bāz konid) is another polite command using the formal -id ending on کنید ("do"), paired with the light verb باز کردن ("to open," literally "to make open"); را again flags پنجره as the direct object placed before the verb.

Where English speakers slip

Learners often flatten پ toward an English "b," blurring the distinction Persian keeps between پ (p) and ب (b). Make sure the پ stays a clean, voiceless p — not voiced like b — and keep all three syllables about equal length rather than swallowing the middle one.
