Questions & Answers about رمز کامپیوتر را وارد کنید.
The lesson says to add بـ (be-) to make a command, so why is it وارد کنید instead of وارد بکنید?
وارد کردن (to enter) is a compound verb. When making a command with compound verbs that use کردن (to do), the بـ (be-) prefix is often dropped. Both وارد کنید and وارد بکنید are correct, but dropping the prefix is very common and sounds natural.
Why is the word را used in this sentence?
را is the specific direct object marker. Because you are being told to enter the computer password (a specific password, not just any password), the phrase رمز کامپیوتر (computer password) must be followed by را.
How are the words for "password" and "computer" linked together?
They are linked using the ezāfe, which is a short "e" sound added to the end of the first word. You pronounce it as ramz-e kāmpyuter. This connects the two nouns together, similar to saying "password of the computer".
Does the ending on کنید mean I am talking to more than one person?
It can, but not necessarily! The -id ending is plural, so it works when talking to a group ("you all, enter the password"). However, Farsi also uses this plural form to be polite and formal when speaking to just one person.
