Questions & Answers about کیف سنگینم را ببر.
How is the command "take" formed here?
The verb is bordan (to take). To make a singular command, we take the prefix be- and add it to the present stem, which is bar. This gives us bebar (take!).
Why is the "my" ending (-am) attached to "heavy" (sangin) instead of "bag" (kif)?
In Farsi, when a noun has an adjective, possessive endings like -am (my) attach to the very end of the phrase. So instead of attaching directly to the bag, it goes at the end to make kif-e sangin-am (bag heavy-my).
Is there a hidden sound connecting "bag" and "heavy"?
Yes! There is an invisible "e" sound (called the ezafe) between kif (bag) and sangin (heavy). When spoken, it sounds like kif-e sangin-am. It acts like a glue connecting a noun to its describing words.
Why do we need the word "rā" in this sentence?
The word rā marks a specific direct object. Because you are saying "take my heavy bag" (a specific, known bag) and not just "take a bag", we must put rā right after the entire object phrase.
