Questions & Answers about آنها همیشه در هتل میمانند.
How do we build the verb میمانند (they stay) in this sentence?
This follows the exact pattern for regular present tense verbs. We start with the prefix می (mi-), which shows a habitual or ongoing action. Then we add the present stem of the verb 'to stay', which is مان (man). Finally, we add the 3rd person plural ending ـند (-and) to match the subject آنها (they).
Where do we place adverbs like همیشه (always) in a Farsi sentence?
Adverbs of frequency like همیشه usually go near the beginning of the sentence, right after the subject (آنها). Because Farsi puts the verb at the end, all the other details like در هتل (in the hotel) are sandwiched between the adverb and the verb.
Does Farsi really use the English word for 'hotel'?
Yes, هتل is a loanword (borrowed from French, but identical to English). You'll notice it uses the Farsi preposition در (in) right before it. Also, Farsi doesn't have a direct equivalent for the word 'the', so در هتل literally translates to 'in hotel', but naturally means 'in the hotel' in this context.
Why is there a small gap after می but the ending ـند is attached completely?
The present tense prefix می is typed with a 'half-space'. This keeps it as part of the word visually but stops it from physically connecting to the first letter of the stem مان. The personal ending ـند, however, just consists of regular letters added to the end, so the last letter in مان connects directly to them.
