Questions & Answers about بچهها در پارک با همدیگر بازی میکنند.
Could I use yekdigar instead of hamdigar in this sentence?
Yes, you can absolutely say ba yekdigar. Both mean "each other" and follow the preposition ba (with). However, hamdigar is much more common in everyday spoken Farsi, while yekdigar sounds slightly more formal or written.
Why does ba hamdigar come right before the verb?
This follows the standard Farsi word order: Subject + Place + Prepositional Phrase + Verb. The subject bache-ha comes first, then the place dar park, then your prepositional phrase ba hamdigar, and finally the verb bazi mikonand at the very end.
Isn't bazi a noun meaning "game"? How does it mean "play" here?
You are right, bazi is a noun. Farsi relies heavily on compound verbs. To say "to play", you combine bazi (game/play) with the verb kardan (to do). So, bazi mikonand literally translates to "they do play" or "they play".
Why does the verb end in -and (mikonand)?
The verb must match the subject. Since the subject is bache-ha (the children), which is plural, you must use the "they" conjugation ending -and attached to the present stem of the verb. In very casual speech, you might hear this shortened to mikonan.
