How do you pronounce "ترسیده" in Farsi?
Say "tar-SEE-deh" — three syllables, stress on the middle 'see', with a light, quick final 'eh'.
tarside
Stress falls on the middle syllable (si), not the final one; the trailing -e is soft and unstressed, the same pattern as khāne (house), which stresses its first syllable rather than its last.

'Az sag tarside bud' means 'He/she was afraid of the dog' — az (from/of) marks what's feared, and bud (was) turns the participle into a past-tense description, since ترسیده itself is the past participle of ترسیدن (to fear), used here like an adjective.
Where English speakers slip
Learners often stress the final syllable (tar-si-DEH) by analogy with English word-final stress, but the correct stress is tar-SI-de — over-stressing the last syllable makes it sound foreign.
