# konid

*konid* (کنید) — Farsi for "do." Take action.

A language expression coach. Tell it what you want to say, and it shows you how a native speaker would actually say it — with cultural context, tone notes, and audio pronunciation.

## How it works

**You:** "how do I say 'we'll see' in Chinese?"

**konid returns 3 options, casual to formal:**

1. **再说吧** (zài shuō ba) — casual, slightly evasive, can function as a soft "no"
2. **看情况吧** (kàn qíngkuàng ba) — "depends on the situation," genuinely open-minded
3. **到时候再看吧** (dào shíhou zài kàn ba) — "let's wait and see," most neutral

Plus cultural context, nuance comparison, and audio pronunciation.

Supports 13+ languages including Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, and Hindi. Any language Claude knows can be coached.
