Where do we place frequency adverbs like hamishe in a Farsi sentence?
In Farsi, adverbs of frequency like hamishe (always) usually come right after the subject. Here, it sits safely between the subject (in site) and the adjective it describes (online).
Are site and online just the English words?
Yes! Modern Farsi has adopted many technology-related loanwords directly from English. Just keep in mind that they are pronounced with a Farsi accent (for example, site sounds like "sayt").
Why is ast (is) at the very end instead of after the subject?
Farsi uses a different word order than English. The verb almost always goes at the very end of the sentence. So instead of saying "This website is always online", the Farsi structure is literally "This website always online is".
If I am speaking casually, how does the end of this sentence change?
In casual spoken Farsi, the formal word ast (is) is usually shortened. Because online ends in a consonant sound, you would just attach an "-e" sound to it, making the spoken sentence: In site hamishe online-e.
