Questions & Answers about من در اتاق را میبندم.
Why is را placed after اتاق instead of در, if the door is what I am closing?
The object marker را must come at the very end of the entire direct object phrase. Because the object you are closing is the whole phrase در اتاق (the room's door), را attaches to the end of that complete block of words, not just the main noun.
I learned earlier that در means in. Why does it mean door here?
In Farsi, the word در has two completely different meanings. It can be a preposition meaning in, or it can be a noun meaning door. You have to tell them apart by context! Since you cannot close an in, it definitely means door in this sentence.
How are the words for door and room connected here to mean the room's door?
They are linked by the Ezafe, which is a short e sound connecting two words to show possession or description. You pronounce it as dar-e otâq (door of the room). Even though this connecting vowel is usually not written in the Farsi alphabet, you always have to say it!
How is the verb میبندم built to mean I close?
It starts with the prefix می, which shows this is a present tense action. Next is the present stem of the verb to close, which is بند. Finally, it ends with م, which is the matching verb ending for من (I).
