Questions & Answers about او قبل از نمایش به هتل میرود.
How does ghabl az work here, and do I always need to include az?
ghabl az means "before". When you use it to say "before" a specific event, noun, or pronoun, like ghabl az namayesh (before the show), you must include az. Without az, the word ghabl just means the adverb "previously" or "earlier".
Why does the time phrase ghabl az namayesh come before the destination be hotel?
In Farsi sentence structure, time expressions usually appear right after the subject. The standard order is Subject + Time + Place + Verb. So, u (he/she) comes first, followed immediately by the time ghabl az namayesh, then the place be hotel, and finally the verb.
The translation says "He goes", but can u also mean "She"?
Yes! Farsi pronouns are entirely gender-neutral. u can mean "he" or "she" depending on the context. Without any other context, "He goes" and "She goes" are both perfectly correct translations for this sentence.
I remember the verb "to go" is raftan. Why does the verb here look like میرود (miravad)?
raftan is the infinitive (the dictionary form). Farsi verbs often have a very different stem for the present tense. For raftan, the present stem is -rav-. To say "he/she goes", you combine the present prefix mi-, the stem -rav-, and the "he/she" ending -ad, giving you miravad.
