Questions & Answers about من و تو به نظر همدیگر احترام میگذاریم.
In English we say 'you and I' to be polite, but this sentence says man va to ('I and you'). Is that correct in Farsi?
Yes! In Farsi, it is perfectly natural and polite to put man (I) first. You do not need to flip the order like we do in English.
How do we show possession for 'each other's opinion' here?
You use the Ezafe (the invisible 'e' sound that links words). By saying nazar-e hamdigar, you are literally saying 'opinion of each other', which means 'each other's opinion'.
Why is there a be (to) before nazar-e hamdigar?
The compound verb for 'to respect' is ehteram gozashtan, which literally means 'to put respect'. In Farsi, you put respect to someone or something, so this verb always requires the preposition be.
Why does the verb میگذاریم end in -im?
The subject is man va to (I and you). Together, 'I and you' make 'we' (ma), so the verb must take the first-person plural ending -im.
