About Behzad
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions about the usage and meaning of Persian words, proverbs, and idioms asked in Farsi or English. Considering that Arabic words and expressions are extensively used in Farsi, my acquaintance with Arabic will simplify analysis of this type of words which may lead to revelation of implicit meanings and clarification of how derivatives are formed. Controversial grammatical issues are beyond my knowledge. In addition, I cannot corroborate my answer to a question about newly coined slang words.

Experience
Farsi is my mother tongue; however, my knowledge is remarkably more than a mere native speaker.

Education/Credentials
BSc In Mechanical Eng.
