Questions & Answers about ما برنامه‌ی آمدن به هتل نداریم.

Why is the infinitive آمدن (âmadan) used here instead of a conjugated verb?
In Farsi, infinitives like آمدن act as nouns, translating to "coming" or "to come." Because it describes what kind of plan it is, it connects directly to برنامه (plan) using the ezâfe link, literally translating to "the plan of coming."
How do I find the present stem of the infinitive آمدن (âmadan)?
Usually you drop the -tan or -dan ending from an infinitive to find a stem. However, آمدن is an irregular verb, meaning its present stem changes completely to آی (ây). Irregular present stems don't follow a strict rule and just need to be memorized!
Why does برنامه (barnâme) have a "ye" sound added to it?
The word برنامه ends in a silent "h" letter that makes an "e" sound. When you connect it to آمدن with the ezâfe (the linking vowel used to show possession or description), you must add a "y" sound to prevent two vowels from clashing. This makes it barnâme-ye instead of an awkward barnâme-e.
What is the infinitive for the main verb نداریم (nadârim), and how is its stem formed?
The infinitive for "to have" is داشتن (dâshtan). This is another irregular verb, and its present stem is دار (dâr). In this sentence, we attach the negative prefix نـ (na-) to the beginning and the "we" ending ـیم (-im) to the end of the stem, giving us نداریم (we do not have).
