Learn Farsi: آیا شما در خانه فیلم می‌بینید؟

It follows the regular present indicative pattern! It starts with the prefix می‌ (mi-), followed by the present stem of the verb 'to see', which is بین (bin), and ends with the 'you' (plural or formal) suffix -ید (-id). The full infinitive of this verb is دیدن (didan).

Is the word آیا (âyâ) strictly required to ask this question?

No, it is actually quite formal and often dropped in everyday conversation. You can simply say شما در خانه فیلم می‌بینید؟ and raise the pitch of your voice at the end to show it is a question.

The Farsi word فیلم (film) is singular. Why does the translation say 'movies'?

In Farsi, when you are talking about an object in a general sense rather than specific items, you usually leave it singular. So فیلم می‌بینید literally means 'watch movie', but it translates best to natural English as 'watch movies'.

Could we leave out the word شما (shomâ) here?

Yes! Because the verb ending -ید (-id) already tells us the subject is 'you', the pronoun شما is completely optional. Including it just adds a little bit of emphasis.
