Questions & Answers about آنها خودشان صابون را به حمام میآورند.
How is خودشان formed and what does it mean here?
It is made of the reflexive pronoun خود (self) plus the "they/their" possessive ending -شان. Together, they mean "themselves". Because the subject of the sentence is "they" (آنها), the ending attached to خود must match it.
Why use both آنها (they) and خودشان (themselves) in the same sentence?
Using both adds emphasis. It stresses that they are bringing the soap themselves, rather than having someone else do it for them. In spoken Farsi, you could actually drop آنها and just start the sentence with خودشان because the verb ending already tells us "they" are doing it.
Why is را used right after صابون (soap)?
را is the definite object marker. We use it here because they are bringing the soap (a specific, known soap), rather than just "some soap in general".
How is the verb میآورند built?
It comes from the verb آوردن (to bring). The present stem is آور. To say "they bring", we add the present/continuous prefix می- to the front and the "they" ending -ند to the end, giving us میآورند.
