What locals actually say

Do you take cards?

کارت‌خوان وار؟
«کارت‌خوان» is the Iranian everyday term for a card terminal, and the short verbless question is typical of spoken shop talk.

Mom, where did you put my phone?

آنا، موبایلیمی هارا قویوبسان؟
«موبایل» is the everyday Iranian borrowing, while «قویوبسان» uses the colloquial second-person perfect ending heard in family speech.

Call me when you arrive.

چاتاندا مَنه زَنگ ائلَیَرسَن.
«زَنگ ائلَیَمَک» follows the Iranian Persian pattern of using “make/do” with a phone call, rather than the more formal «زَنگ وورماق».

How much is this?

بو نئچەیەدی؟
The reduced copula -di in نئچەیەدی is a colloquial South Azerbaijani form, signaling everyday Iranian Azerbaijani speech.

How do I get to the metro from here?

بو خیابون‌دان مترویا نئجە گئدیم؟
خیابون is the Iranian Persian loan for street, commonly used instead of the neutral Azerbaijani küçə and signaling South Azerbaijani usage.

Can I have this without meat?

بونو گوشت‌سیز آلماق اولار؟
گوشت is the Persian-derived Iranian Azerbaijani word for meat, while neutral Azerbaijani more often uses ət.

My sister is still at university.

باجیم هله دانشگاه‌دا‌دی.
دانشگاه is the Iranian Persian loan for university, a strong South Azerbaijani marker in educational and family speech.

I have to send this before lunch.

باید بونو ناهاردان قاباغ گؤندەرەم.
The Persian-derived modal باید is frequent in South Azerbaijani for must or have to, and ناهار reflects Iranian everyday vocabulary for lunch.
