Questions & Answers about من در بیمارستان کار میکنم.
Why does the verb for "work" look like two separate words (کار میکنم)?
In Farsi, many verbs are compound verbs made by combining a noun and a basic verb. Here, کار means "work" (as a noun) and میکنم means "I do". So, you are literally saying "I do work".
Why is کار میکنم at the very end of the sentence?
Farsi sentences usually follow a Subject-Object-Verb order. The verb almost always goes at the very end of the sentence, unlike in English where it generally comes right after the subject.
Could I drop the word من (I) at the beginning of the sentence?
Yes, you can! The verb ending -م in میکنم already tells the listener that "I" am the one doing the action. Dropping the pronoun and just saying در بیمارستان کار میکنم is perfectly natural and very common.
What does the می prefix at the beginning of میکنم mean?
The می prefix tells us that this is a present tense verb. It shows that the action is an ongoing habit, like your regular job at the hospital, or something happening right now.
