Questions & Answers about پرونده را برای همکار من بفرستید.
How is the command verb بفرستید built?
It is the formal or plural imperative (command) form. It starts with the command prefix بـ (be-), followed by the present stem of the verb to send, which is فرست (ferest). Finally, it ends with the plural/formal you ending ـید (-id). Put together, بـ + فرست + ـید equals بفرستید (beferestid).
The English translation says to my colleague, but doesn't برای mean for?
Yes, برای (barâye) usually means for. However, in Farsi, when you send something to a person, it is very common to use برای instead of به (be), which means to. So, you are literally saying send the file for my colleague.
Why do we need the word را after پرونده?
را (râ) is the definite direct object marker. Because the sentence is telling someone to send a specific file (the file) rather than just any file, we have to put را directly after پرونده (parvandeh) to show it is the specific object receiving the action.
How do we say my colleague here? Is there a hidden sound between the words?
Yes! To say my colleague, we use the word for colleague, همکار (hamkâr), linked to the word for me/I, من (man), using the ezafe vowel. It is pronounced hamkâr-e man (literally colleague of me). The ezafe is usually not written in the Persian alphabet, but you must pronounce it to link the noun to its owner.
