Questions & Answers about برادر من دو بچه دارد.
Why is bache (child) singular when the English translation says "children"?
This is a very important rule in Farsi! After numbers like do (two) and quantity words like chand (how many), the noun is always singular. You don't add a plural ending to the noun, so you are literally saying "two child".
Where is the word for "my" in barādar man?
In Farsi, possession is shown by linking words with a short "e" sound called the ezāfe. To say "my brother", you take the word for brother (barādar) and the word for I/me (man) and connect them with this sound. When spoken, it is pronounced barādar-e man. You don't need a separate word for "my".
Why is the verb dārad (has) at the very end of the sentence?
Farsi uses a Subject-Object-Verb word order. The subject of the sentence (barādar-e man) comes first, the object he possesses (do bache) comes in the middle, and the main verb (dārad) is placed at the very end.
Does dārad specifically mean "he has"?
Yes and no. dārad is the third-person singular form of the verb "to have". Because Farsi does not have grammatical gender, dārad can mean "he has", "she has", or "it has". Here, we know it means "he has" because the subject is your brother.
