How do you pronounce "پر" in Farsi?
Say "por" like the English word "pour" but with a short, clipped vowel instead of a long glide.
por
A single syllable, so no stress decision is needed, but keep the vowel short and crisp — don't let it glide the way English "pour" does.

"Livān por az āb ast" (The glass is full of water) shows how por pairs with az ("of/from") to express "full of" — por az āb literally means "full from water", so remember to use az after por rather than reaching for a direct equivalent of English "of".
Where English speakers slip
English speakers often draw out the vowel the way they would in the English word "pour", turning it into a longer glide; in Persian por is short and clipped, and lengthening it risks making it sound like an entirely different, drawn-out word.
