Questions & Answers about تو هر روز ورزش میکنی.
How do we build the verb میکنی for the "you" form here?
It follows the standard present tense pattern: the prefix می shows it is a present or habitual action, کن is the present stem of the verb کردن (to do), and ی is the personal ending that matches تو (you, informal singular).
Why are there two words for "exercise" (ورزش میکنی)?
Farsi relies heavily on "compound verbs," which are created by pairing a noun with a basic helper verb. Here, ورزش means "sport" or "exercise", and the helper verb means "to do". Literally, you are saying "You do sport every day."
Could I drop the word تو (you) at the beginning of the sentence?
Absolutely! Because the verb ending ی already tells us exactly who is doing the action (you), the subject pronoun تو is optional. Simply saying هر روز ورزش میکنی is very common and natural.
Why does the verb come at the very end?
Farsi sentences generally follow a Subject-Object-Verb order. The subject تو is at the start, the time phrase هر روز comes next, the noun part of the verb ورزش follows, and the conjugated action word میکنی anchors the very end of the sentence.
