Questions & Answers about او امروز یک بلیت دارد.
Why doesn't the verb dârad start with the mi- prefix like other present tense verbs?
The verb dâshtan (to have) is a special exception. In the present tense, it does not take the usual mi- prefix. For the he or she form, you simply use the stem with the ending to make dârad.
Could the pronoun ou also mean she?
Yes, ou is completely gender-neutral and means both he and she. Farsi does not have separate pronouns for genders. Without more context, translating this sentence as she has a ticket today is just as correct.
Why is the time word emruz placed right after the subject?
In Farsi, words that tell you when something happens usually go at or near the beginning of the sentence, often right after the subject. The verb dârad must go at the very end, which is the standard word order in Farsi.
Is yek acting as the number one or the word a here?
It can be both! In Farsi, yek literally means one, but it is also commonly used as the indefinite article a or an before a noun. Here, yek bilit translates smoothly to a ticket.
