Questions & Answers about استاد امروز کلاس و قرار دارد.
Why doesn't دارد have the می (mi-) prefix like other present tense verbs?
Because the verb "to have" (داشتن) is a major exception! Most present tense verbs in Farsi need the می (mi-) prefix, but this verb does not. You just use the present stem and the personal ending: دار (dar) + ـَد (-ad) = دارد (he/she/it has).
Does دارد tell us if the professor is male or female?
No, it doesn't. Farsi pronouns and verbs are completely gender-neutral. The ending ـَد (-ad) on دارد can mean "he has", "she has", or "it has". You would have to rely on context to know the professor's gender.
How should I pronounce the "and" (و) between class and appointment?
While the formal pronunciation is "va", in everyday spoken Farsi it usually becomes a quick "o" sound attached to the word before it. You will hear native speakers say کلاس و قرار as "kelas-o qarar".
Could the word for today (امروز) go at the very beginning of the sentence?
Yes! Time words in Farsi are quite flexible. It is perfectly fine to say امروز استاد کلاس و قرار دارد (Today the professor has...). Putting it right after the subject, as seen in this sentence, is also very common and natural.
