بله
"Yes" in Persian · say it like beh-leh

The most natural way to say "Yes" in Persian is بله. Tap the speaker above to hear it, then say it back out loud. That is the fastest way to make it stick.

Other ways to say it

آره
more casual and commonly used in informal conversations
بلی
more formal, often used in written contexts

When to use it

You can use 'بله' in any situation where you want to agree or confirm something. It is appropriate in both formal and informal contexts. For casual conversations, you might prefer 'آره'.

Say it out loud, get corrected

Reading it is not the same as saying it. Practice "Yes" and thousands more with an AI coach that listens.

Common mistake
Some learners might confuse 'بله' with 'بلی', thinking they are interchangeable, but 'بلی' is more formal.

The fastest way to remember it

Vocabulary you only read fades fast. Vocabulary you say out loud sticks. Hear بله, repeat it a few times, then use it in a real sentence. SPAIKING lets you practice exactly that, speaking Persian with a coach that corrects your pronunciation in real time. You can start with two free conversations.
