Thanks again for your effort, i have seen in "Gorgan" e-city website you can learn Persian as second language (multimedia). check it out, maybe useful to use here sometimes to show how pronounce words.
 
. . .
Verb structure ("negative"):

You already know that "no" is "næ" or "nakheyr" (نخیر)
and you already know that "æst" is "to be" or "is" ( است)

So, the negative of "is" is "is not" which is "nist" (نیست) in Persian. Hence "not" is "nist" as well.

Now when conjugating an action verb to negative verb, it is usually the same word except now you also add a "ne-" or "næ-" before the conjugated verb.

Example:
So, "mæn mitævanæm" = I can/ am able to, but if you add "ne-" it becomes "mæn nemitævanæm" = I cannot/ am not able to. (من نمی توانم )

mæn mikonæm = I do (I will) and thus, mæn nemikonæm = I do not (I won't/ am not doing)
mæn miguyæm = I say and thus, mæn nemiguyæm = I do not say
mæn daræm = I have and thus, mæn nædaræm = I do not have (note: this does not translate to "I am not doing")

to mikhabi = you sleep and thus, to nemikhabi = you do not sleep
mæn æstam = I am and thus, mæn nistæm = I am not
an æst = that is and thus, an nist = that is not (این نیست)
 
.
Colors (colours) - "Ræng" (رنگ)

ghermez/sorkh = red (قرمز, سرخ)
sæbz = green (سبز)
abi = blue (آبی)
zærd = yellow (زرد)
narænji = orange (نارنجی)
bænæfsh = purple (بنفش)
suræti = pink (صورتی)
qahvei = brown (قهوه ای)
khaki = khaki (خاکی )
khakestæri = grey (خاکستری)
siah/meshki = black (مشکی, سیاه)
sefid/sepid = white (سفید)
tæla/zær = gold (زر, طلا)
noqre = silver (نقره)

tireh/tarik = dark (تیره, تاریک)
roshæn/tabnak = light (روشن)
