Questions & Answers about ما دیروز یکدیگر را در شرکت دیدیم.
What is the difference between yekdigar and hamdigar?
They both mean each other and are often interchangeable. However, yekdigar is generally more formal and used more in written Farsi, while hamdigar is what you will hear most often in everyday conversations.
Why do we need the word rā after yekdigar here?
The word rā marks the specific direct object of a sentence. Since each other refers to specific people receiving the action of the verb (being seen), yekdigar must be followed by rā.
Could I change the word order and put dar sherkat before yekdigar rā?
It is much better to keep it as it is. In Farsi, when a direct object takes rā, it usually comes before prepositional phrases like dar sherkat (at the company). The standard order here is Subject + Time + Object + Place + Verb.
How is the verb didim formed in this sentence?
It comes from the infinitive didan (to see). To form the simple past tense, you drop the -an to get the past stem did, and then add the personal ending -im to match the subject mā (we).
