Questions & Answers about خودکارم روی میز کلاس است.
Where is the word for "my" in this sentence?
It is attached to the end of the word for pen, خودکار (khodkar). Farsi often uses short attached endings instead of separate words for possession. Here, the ending -am is added to make خودکارم (khodkar-am), meaning "my pen".
Could I use the separate word for "I/my" instead of the attached ending?
Yes! You can say خودکارِ من (khodkar-e man) using the separate pronoun من (man). Both mean "my pen," but the attached ending -am is extremely common and natural in everyday Farsi.
How are the words for "desk" (میز) and "class" (کلاس) connected here?
They are joined by the Ezafe, which is an invisible "e" sound that links nouns to their descriptions or owners. You pronounce it as miz-e kelas, literally meaning "desk of (the) class".
Does the word for "on" (روی) also use that invisible connecting sound?
Yes! In Farsi, prepositions of place like روی (ruy, meaning "on") also use the Ezafe to connect to the noun that follows them. So, you pronounce it as ruy-e miz (on the desk).
