Sometimes the differences between dialects can create humorous, if embarrasing, situations.
"Plar mi khug wo, sag mar sha" (My father was injured, he died last year.)
Due to the morphological differences and heavier borrowing of Persian words in the Western/Southern dialect, the above sentence would literally mean:
"My father was a hog [pig], the dog died."
The same phrase, when used to mean the original, would thus become:
"Plar mi khuzh wo, sazh mar sa."
"Plar mi khug wo, sag mar sha" (My father was injured, he died last year.)
