Questions & Answers about مرد بیمار تب و درد دارد.
Why doesn't dârad start with the mi- prefix like other present tense verbs?
The verb dâshtan (to have) is irregular. Unlike most Farsi verbs, it does not take the mi- prefix in the present tense. We just use the stem and the ending, so it is dârad (he/she/it has), not midârad.
How are the words mard (man) and bimâr (sick) connected in speech?
They are connected by the ezâfe rule. When an adjective follows a noun to describe it, you add a short e sound to the end of the noun. Even though it is not written in the Farsi alphabet, it is pronounced as mard-e bimâr.
The English translation says 'a fever', but I don't see the word for 'a' in the Farsi sentence. Why is that?
In Farsi, you do not always need a word for 'a' or 'an' when talking about general things or illnesses. The word tab simply means fever or a fever based on the context.
How should I pronounce the word و (and) between tab and dard?
In formal Farsi it is pronounced va, but in everyday spoken Farsi it turns into a short o sound attached to the previous word. You will usually hear native speakers say tab-o dard.
