Questions & Answers about ما هر هفته به موزه میرویم.
How exactly is the verb میرویم put together?
It is the present indicative form of the verb to go (رفتن). It follows the rule you are learning: the prefix می (indicating a habitual or ongoing action) + the present stem رو (rav) + the personal ending یم (im) for 'we'. Notice that the present stem رو looks very different from the infinitive رفتن, which is a common quirk in Farsi verbs!
Why is the time expression هر هفته placed so early in the sentence?
In English, we usually put time phrases like 'every week' at the end of the sentence. In Farsi, time expressions like هر هفته normally come near the beginning, right after the subject (ما). The verb always has to wait until the very end of the sentence.
What is the word به doing right before موزه?
The word به is a preposition meaning 'to' or 'towards'. Just like in English, it goes immediately before the destination to show direction: به موزه (to the museum).
Is میرویم pronounced exactly how it is written here?
In formal or written Farsi, yes: mi-rav-im. However, a native speaker talking in everyday casual conversation will usually shorten it to mirim. For now, it is great to understand the formal structure میرویم so you can see exactly how the prefix, stem, and ending fit together.
