Questions & Answers about آیا شما من را صدا کردید؟
Why is it man râ and not just man?
man means 'I' or 'me'. Because 'me' is the specific person receiving the action (the direct object), Farsi requires the object marker râ right after it. Together, man râ acts as the independent object pronoun 'me'.
How do native speakers usually pronounce man râ in everyday conversation?
In casual spoken Farsi, man râ blends together and is pronounced as mano. You will read it as man râ in proper writing, but you will almost always hear it as mano in speech.
Why does the verb for 'called' consist of two words (sedâ kardid)?
Farsi uses a lot of compound verbs. sedâ means 'voice' or 'sound', and kardan is the verb 'to do' or 'to make'. So, sedâ kardan literally means 'to make a voice', which translates to 'to call'. Here, kardid is the past tense form for 'you'.
Do I have to use âyâ to ask this question?
No. âyâ is a formal question word used mostly in writing or very polite speech. In everyday life, you would usually drop it and just say shomâ man râ sedâ kardid? while raising the pitch of your voice at the end to show it is a question.
