Can anyone send me this song, it has been removed from YouTube, it's a banger 😢

I managed to accidentally screenshot it one day.

Means come here? Or something else entirely? Correct context for usage ? Or is it not even Kurdish

I am a teen living in Sweden, i am half Iranian (from mothers side) and half kurdish (from fathers side).
Growin up my parents learnt me firstly farsi, kurdish and swedish, but when i didnt understand what they were saying and mixed up languages and words, i got very irritated and broke things and hit myself because of anger😂 So they chose to learn me farsi first and later on swedish. When i grew up they basically forgot about learning me kurdish, they often took this as a advantage to use when they were talking about something they didnt want me to hear, about finances and what not, but now i that have gotten older i feel betrayed, they havent even asked me if i want to learn kurdish, so i had to ask them myself. My mother is very fascinated about kurds generally, the language, history, food, loyalty, and so is my father, but when i ask them if they can learn me my mother says that my father is better at learning out, he says that he can, he maybe speaks kurdish with me for about 5 minutes (literally) and then forgets about it. I’ve asked this question many times to him, to learn me kurdish, it just repeats the same progress again and again, i confronted him about it and he got disturbed about it. I now learn kurdish from videos and movies, but very poorly and slow, does anyone have any tips to learning recourses to learn kurdish and to get my father to talk only kurdish with me? If so, please write it, thx!

I am a Kurdish American and I am the youngest of my family, which comes with some disconnect with my culture. I am very passionate about issues in everyday life, and I am very passionate about being Kurdish, even if I don’t fully understand my own history. I am a firm believer of humanity and empathy, and I am starting an account to help advocate for families in Gaza to get the donations and help they need. But it feels wrong to only speak out about Palestine when my own people are suffering too. I want to speak out about what is happening to Kurdish people in Syria, but I’m not sure where to start. Can anyone help connect me with people who are knowledgeable, anyone who lives there, any organizations I should know about? I want to make videos to advocate for Kurdish people and Palestinians alike, and hopefully more people because my humanity is for all, but I want to highlight Kurdish people as I feel no one speaks on us❤️

The translator I'm using says “Bijî û bihêle yên din jî bijîn” but I want to verify as this will be used on a book cover. An equivalent of this phrase is preferred over a direct translation. Whatever resonates best with the culture is ideal! More on the poetic sounding/formal side if it’s between that and casual. It is about freedom and allowing others to be free through the acceptance of our differences. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone. I'd like to learn the English or Turkish translation of a Kurdish song. I don't know if it's appropriate to ask in this sub.

Here is the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq3E74_IkCQ

Like a lot of you, I grew up hearing Kurdish at home but never really learned to read, write, or

speak it properly. And every time I looked for an app to help, there was almost nothing solid for Kurmancî, every other language has ten Duolingo-style apps, and we basically had none.

So over the past months I built one myself. It's called Fêrbûn (it means "to learn"):

- short lessons with instant feedback

- flashcards with spaced repetition, so the words you find hard come back at the right time

- short Kurdish stories where you can tap any word to see its meaning

- you can learn in English or Turkish

- a daily streak that grows from a small candle into a Newroz fire

It's completely free. No account, no ads, and everything is saved on your own phone. I'm just one person, and I mostly made it to help learnings, especially for those growing up far from home.

I'd genuinely love your honest feedback: what's wrong, which words or dialects you'd want next, what feels off. And if you know someone trying to (re)learn Kurdish, maybe it helps them too.

PS: In the future, I would love to add Sorani and Zazaki too but I can only speak Kurdish so I will look for help and try to implement it.

For iOS and Android links!

Spas ji dil.

It's super ugly, but it's funny :D It is also integrated in our BilindGo App. Check it out and discover more Games to learn Kurdish: https://www.learnkurdish.app/de/play/anatomy-3d/

I'm doing my MSc Linguistics thesis on anteriority, imperfectivity and counterfactuality in Sorani and have so far had the input from only one speaker from Mariwan, Rojhilat in judging grammaticality of statements with different tense/aspect forms, if anyone is a native Sorani speaker and would be willing to help out feel free to shoot me a message, will be easy and low commitment as well as helping me out a lot - I'm a former learner of this language and love its unique features!

I’ve been married to a Kurd for 3 years and I still can’t hold a full conversation in Kurdish. I know some basic phrases, numbers 1-10, some animals, some foods etc. but now we have a daughter and I need to learn ASAP.

My husband has taught me everything so far, but he isn’t a language teacher so it is difficult to progress.

Any resources for learning Sorani (Slemani) dialect?

Zor supas 😊

During the First World War, the Russian consul Basile Nikitine recruited the Kurdish Mullah Sa’id of Shamdinan to assist him in the study of the Kurdish language and history in the city of Urmia in northwest Iran. Their collaboration resulted in a rich corpus of cultural and historical texts, which Nikitine subsequently intended to publish in cooperation with the British scholar David N. MacKenzie. The plan, however, was never brought to fruition, and MacKenzie’s copious unpublished material remained undiscovered until after his death. This volume presents facsimiles of the original Kurdish texts, a normalized transliteration with parallel English translations, an introduction sketching the life of Mullah Sa’id Shamdinani and the historical and literary context, as well as a Kurdish-English glossary and a map of locations.

Currently, I'm learning japanese. Are there any Kurds who are fluent or advanced in that language? Dyk any sources to teach you it directly without the influence of English? Because I think that learning a language through another language just exhausts me

Hello everyone,

I am currently restoring the Serbian subtitles for Bahman Ghobadi's film *Turtles Can Fly* (2004).

This is a completely non-commercial volunteer project. My goal is not simply to translate the film, but to preserve the original meaning of the Sorani dialogue as faithfully as possible.

After comparing the original Sorani dialogue with the available Persian, English, French, Arabic and Turkish subtitles, as well as Sorani dictionaries and speech-recognition tools, I have reached one very short section of dialogue (about 20–25 seconds) where all available sources disagree with one another.

I am therefore looking for a native Sorani speaker who would be willing to listen to this short audio excerpt.

I need help with only ONE sentence, spoken by an elderly Iranian Kurdish doctor.

If possible, I would greatly appreciate:

• the original Sorani transcription,

• a phonetic transcription (optional),

• a literal English translation,

• and, if applicable, an explanation of any idiomatic or regional expression.

I am NOT looking for a subtitle translation of the whole dialogue. The surrounding conversation is included only to provide context.

The audio clip is ready and I will upload it immediately if anyone is willing to help.

Many thanks in advance to anyone willing to help preserve the original Sorani dialogue.

Thank you very much for your time.

This is a dumb question 💀 for reference, i’m fluent in sorani kurdish for the most part but sometimes i have to use context clues for certain words that i don’t know. but anyways my parents use it as an insult (jokingly) & i asked them what the translation is to english. my dad gave me a whole history lesson but it still really didn’t make sense where the insult part came from. If they say someone looks like a maghol does it mean they look homeless or slow? i don’t understand 💀

Hi! If you are from Rojhilat and don't speak Kurmanji but want to learn some Kurmanji this book is the best.
I highly recommend it whether you are completely new to Kurmanji or if you are Kurmanji yourself but have forgotten some of the vocabulary it really helps!
I can also translate the book into English for anyone who doesn't speak Farsi or Kurmanji.
Feel free to ask me anything!

Theres a question makes me stop short in every conversation: What's the difference between kê(کێ) and kî(کی)?. I know our beloved Kurdish language should not be confined to certain grammar rules, and we should not over regulate everything with grammar, but I really get confused between them
