Questions & Answers about او هر روز صبحانه میخورد.
Why is ruz singular when the action happens all the time?
In Farsi, the word har (every/each) is always followed by a singular noun. Just like in English we say "every day" and not "every days", Farsi uses har ruz instead of the plural har ruz-ha.
Why isn't the specific object marker ra used after sobhaneh (breakfast)?
The word ra is only used for specific direct objects, like if you were talking about "the breakfast" you made yesterday. Because eating breakfast here is a general, everyday routine, it is not a specific object, so we leave ra out.
What does the prefix mi- do in the verb mi-khorad?
The prefix mi- is used to form the present habitual tense. It shows that the action is something that happens regularly or continuously. This works hand-in-hand with har ruz (every day) to show an ongoing routine.
The translation says "He eats", but can ou also mean "she"?
Yes! Farsi pronouns are completely gender-neutral. The word ou can mean "he" or "she". We use "He" in the English translation just to pick one, but in a real conversation, context would tell you who is eating breakfast.
